Platform configuration

This document explains how to configure the platform, including its operational settings and features such as SSO login, custom branding, and auditing.

Understand platform configuration​

Configure the platform through the vcluster-platform Helm chart, which comes from the loft-sh/loft repository. Find the default configuration values in the chart's values.yaml file.

Identify configuration types​

The platform's values.yaml file contains multiple configuration sections:

  1. Installation settings - Control how the platform deploys
    • Top-level fields in the vcluster-platform chart's values.yaml
    • Located in the platform Helm chart (loft-sh/loft)
    • Examples: replicaCount, resources, ingress, persistence, etc.
    • These configure Kubernetes deployment aspects like resources and replicas
  1. Operational settings - Control how the platform functions after deployment
    • These are grouped under the config: section of the vcluster-platform chart
    • Located in the platform Helm chart (loft-sh/loft)
    • Examples: config.auth, config.audit, config.loftHost
    • You can also manage these through the UI in Admin > Config
  1. Agent settings - Control how the platform agent operates in connected clusters
    • Set through the top-level agentValues: section of the vcluster-platform chart
    • Located in the platform Helm chart (loft-sh/loft)
    • You can override these per-cluster with annotations

Distinguish between values.yaml and config sections​

When configuring the platform, understand the difference between the main values.yaml settings and the config section inside it:

  • values.yaml (installation settings) - Controls how the platform itself installs
    • Affects the Kubernetes resources created during installation
    • Examples: replica count, resource limits, persistence settings, ingress configuration
    • You typically set these options once during deployment
    • Not accessible through the UI after installation
    • Requires a Helm upgrade to change after initial deployment
  • config section - Controls what the platform does after installation
    • Located in the vcluster-platform chart's values.yaml as the config: key
    • Defined in loft-sh/loft/chart/values.yaml
    • Stores settings in a dedicated Kubernetes resource that persists across platform upgrades
    • Contains settings that the platform reads and applies at runtime
    • Affects the platform's behavior, features, and integrations
    • Examples: authentication options, audit settings, UI customization
    • You can change these any time through the UI in Admin > Config
    • Changes are detected and applied without requiring a restart or redeployment

Complete common configuration tasks​

For common tasks, configure the following:

TaskConfiguration locationExample
Setting admin credentialsadmin: section (root level)admin.username, admin.password
Configuring replicas for HAreplicaCount: setting (root level)replicaCount: 2
Setting up ingressingress: section (root level)ingress.enabled: true
Setting resource limitsresources: section (root level)resources.limits.memory
Configuring auth providersconfig.auth: sectionconfig.auth.github
Setting custom domainconfig: sectionconfig.loftHost

Review platform configuration example​

The following example is of a platform values.yaml file showing the configuration sections:

Example platform values.yaml with all configuration sections

# Installation settings (top-level)
replicaCount: 2
resources:
  requests:
    memory: 512Mi
    cpu: 400m

# Admin user settings (top-level)
admin:
  create: true
  username: my-admin-user
  password: my-secure-password

# Ingress configuration (top-level)
ingress:
  enabled: true
  host: platform.example.com

# Agent settings (top-level)
agentValues:
  resources:
    requests:
      memory: 256Mi

# Operational settings (inside config section)
config:
  loftHost: platform.example.com
  audit:
    enabled: true
  auth:
    github:
      clientId: $CLIENT_ID

Apply configuration​

Apply the platform configuration in two ways:

  • Through helm values when installing or upgrading the platform
  • Through the UI in Admin > Config after installation (operational settings only)

Using helm values allows you to manage configuration declaratively and enables deployment through GitOps solutions such as ArgoCD.

Here's an example of applying platform configuration with helm:

Apply platform configuration using Helm
RELEASE_NAME=vcluster-platform
RELEASE_NAMESPACE=vcluster-platform
PLATFORM_VERSION='' # Set this to a specific version or leave empty for latest

helm upgrade $RELEASE_NAME vcluster-platform \
  --install \
  --repo https://charts.loft.sh/ \
  --namespace $RELEASE_NAMESPACE \
  --create-namespace \
  --values values.yaml \
  ${PLATFORM_VERSION:+--version $PLATFORM_VERSION}

Set a custom domain​

The loftHost variable is a critical configuration setting that defines the domain where users access the platform.

Determine when to set this value​

Set the loftHost value after:

  1. Installing the platform
  2. Configuring TLS certificates
  3. Setting up ingress with a custom domain

Define what to set​

The loftHost value should be:

  • The same hostname specified in your ingress resource
  • Only the hostname (e.g., platform.example.com)
  • Without protocols (e.g., no https://)
  • Without subpaths (e.g., no /platform)
Configure custom domain in platform config
config:
  loftHost: platform.example.com

Reconnect clusters after changing the domain​

After updating the loftHost value, you must reconnect all clusters to the platform by running the same connection commands in each Kubernetes context. See connecting clusters for detailed instructions.

Important

You must also reconnect clusters if you change the additionalCA or insecureSkipVerify values after the initial setup.

Manage sensitive information​

Many configuration options require sensitive information such as API keys or tokens. Rather than storing these directly in your values.yaml file, you can use environment variable placeholders.

Use secret references​

To securely provide sensitive information, store it in a Kubernetes secret and reference it in your configuration:

Store sensitive values using Kubernetes secrets
# Secret references
envValueFrom:
  CLIENT_ID:
    secretKeyRef:
      name: github-auth-secret
      key: client_id
  CLIENT_SECRET:
    secretKeyRef:
      name: github-auth-secret
      key: client_secret

# Platform configuration
config:
  auth:
    github:
      clientId: $CLIENT_ID
      clientSecret: $CLIENT_SECRET
      redirectURI: https://my-platform.example.com/auth/github/callback

Configure custom HTTP headers​

You can configure the platform to add custom HTTP headers to all API responses. This is useful for security-related headers or when integrating with specific environments.

Adding custom HTTP headers
config:
  auth:
    customHttpHeaders:
      X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
      X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
      Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'

Manage certificates​

Use a custom certificate authority​

If you want all virtual clusters to trust a specific certificate authority when communicating with the platform, you can configure it centrally rather than in each individual virtual cluster.

Prerequisite

Before setting a custom certificate authority, you must configure TLS for the platform.

Setting a custom certificate authority
# Base64-encoded CA certificate - top-level setting, not inside config:
additionalCA: "(base64 encoded CA)"

Import existing virtual clusters with certificate validation​

When importing externally managed virtual clusters, you can enable secure communication by using the same certificate authority:

  1. Get the current certificate authority from your platform:
Get the certificate authority value
helm get values --namespace $RELEASE_NAMESPACE $RELEASE_NAME --all | grep additionalCA
  1. Import the virtual cluster with certificate validation:
Import a virtual cluster with certificate validation
vcluster platform add vcluster <VCLUSTER_NAME> \
--namespace=<VCLUSTER_NAMESPACE> \
--project=<PROJECT_NAME> \
--ca-data <BASE64_CA_VALUE>

The imported virtual cluster restarts and reports Ready once it establishes a secure connection to the platform.

Work with the platform agent​

Understand what the platform agent does​

The platform agent is a component that runs in each connected Kubernetes cluster. It handles:

  • Cluster resource management
  • Communication with the platform
  • Reconciliation of cluster-scoped resources
important

Every cluster connected to the platform, including the cluster where the platform itself runs, must have the platform agent installed.

Use default agent deployment​

By default, the platform automatically installs the agent in:

  1. The cluster where the platform is deployed
  2. Any new clusters connected to the platform

Disable automatic agent deployment​

In some environments, particularly those using GitOps tools, you might want to manage agent deployment manually. There are two ways to disable automatic agent deployment:

  1. Platform-wide - Disable for all clusters:
Disable automatic agent deployment platform-wide
# Not inside config: section - this is a top-level setting
env:
  DISABLE_AGENT: true
  1. Per-cluster - Disable for specific clusters by setting the loft.sh/cluster-ignore-agent annotation to true on the Cluster resource.
Agent required

Even if you disable automatic deployment, the platform agent is still required in every connected cluster. You must deploy it manually or through GitOps tools.

Install the agent manually​

To manually install the platform agent:

Manual agent installation
RELEASE_NAME=vcluster-platform
RELEASE_NAMESPACE=vcluster-platform
PLATFORM_VERSION='' # Set this to a specific version or leave empty for latest

helm upgrade $RELEASE_NAME vcluster-platform \
  --install \
  --repo https://charts.loft.sh/ \
  --namespace $RELEASE_NAMESPACE \
  --create-namespace \
  --set agentOnly=true \
  ${PLATFORM_VERSION:+--version $PLATFORM_VERSION}

Configure the agent​

Understand agent values​

The platform agent uses its own set of configuration values, which you can specify in several ways:

  1. Default behavior: By default, the agent inherits values from the platform configuration.
  2. Global agent values: The agentValues: section in the platform values.yaml specifies default values for all agents.
  3. Cluster-specific values: The loft.sh/agent-values annotation on a Cluster resource overrides global values for that specific cluster.

When the platform upgrades an agent, it uses the values from the agentValues section (or from the cluster annotation if present).

Configure the agent through the platform​

To customize the agent configuration when deployed by the platform, use the agentValues section in your platform configuration:

Customizing agent configuration
# Agent-specific configuration - top-level setting, not in config: section
agentValues:
  # Configure security context for the agent
  securityContext:
    enabled: true

  # Set resource limits for the agent
  resources:
    limits:
      cpu: 500m
      memory: 512Mi
    requests:
      cpu: 100m
      memory: 128Mi

Configure cluster-specific agents​

To apply different configuration to the agent in specific clusters, set the loft.sh/agent-values annotation on the Cluster resource. These values override any settings from the platform's agentValues.
