* port un-synced changed from docs/readme to readme
* consistently use `sh` instead of `console` highlight, as it looks like
a more appropriate syntax highlight

# VictoriaMetrics Operator Setup
## Installing by helm-charts
You can use one of the following official helm-charts with `vmoperator`:
- [victoria-metrics-operator helm-chart](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-operator/README.md)
- [victoria-metrics-k8s-stack helm chart](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack/README.md)
(includes the `victoria-metrics-operator` helm-chart and other components for full-fledged k8s monitoring, is an alternative for [kube-prometheus-stack](https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack)).
For installing VictoriaMetrics operator with helm-chart follow the instructions from README of the corresponding helm-chart
([this](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-operator/README.md)
or [this](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack/README.md)).
in addition, you can use [quickstart guide](./quick-start.md) for
installing VictoriaMetrics operator with helm-chart.
## Installing by Manifest
Obtain release from releases page:
[https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases)
We suggest use the latest release.
```sh
# Get latest release version from https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases/latest
export VM_VERSION=`basename $(curl -fs -o/dev/null -w %{redirect_url} https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases/latest)`
wget https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases/download/$VM_VERSION/bundle_crd.zip
unzip bundle_crd.zip
```
Operator use `monitoring-system` namespace, but you can install it to specific namespace with command:
```sh
sed -i "s/namespace: monitoring-system/namespace: YOUR_NAMESPACE/g" release/operator/*
```
First of all, you have to create [custom resource definitions](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator):
```sh
kubectl apply -f release/crds
```
Then you need RBAC for operator, relevant configuration for the release can be found at `release/operator/rbac.yaml`.
Change configuration for operator at `release/operator/manager.yaml`, possible settings: [operator-settings](/operator/vars.html)
and apply it:
```sh
kubectl apply -f release/operator/
```
Check the status of operator
```sh
kubectl get pods -n monitoring-system
#NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
#vm-operator-667dfbff55-cbvkf 1/1 Running 0 101s
```
## Installing by Kustomize
You can install operator using [Kustomize](https://kustomize.io/) by pointing to the remote kustomization file.
```sh
# Get latest release version from https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases/latest
export VM_VERSION=`basename $(curl -fs -o/dev/null -w %{redirect_url} https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/releases/latest)`
cat << EOF > kustomization.yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
- github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/config/default?ref=${VM_VERSION}
images:
- name: victoriametrics/operator
newTag: ${VM_VERSION}
EOF
```
You can change [operator configuration](#configuring), or use your custom namespace see [kustomize-example](https://github.com/YuriKravetc/yurikravetc.github.io/tree/main/Operator/kustomize-example).
Build template
```sh
kustomize build . -o monitoring.yaml
```
Apply manifests
```sh
kubectl apply -f monitoring.yaml
```
Check the status of operator
```sh
kubectl get pods -n monitoring-system
#NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
#vm-operator-667dfbff55-cbvkf 1/1 Running 0 101s
```
## Installing to ARM
There is no need in an additional configuration for ARM. Operator and VictoriaMetrics have full support for it.
## Configuring
You can read detailed instructions about operator configuring in [this document](./configuration.md).
