# Installation Guide
## Installation Methods
### Method 1: Headlamp Plugin Manager (Recommended)
The plugin is published on [Artifact Hub](https://artifacthub.io/packages/headlamp/tns-csi/headlamp-tns-csi-plugin).
**Via Headlamp UI:**
1. Navigate to **Settings → Plugins → Catalog**
2. Search for "TNS CSI" or "TrueNAS"
3. Click **Install**
4. Refresh the page
**Via Helm values:**
```yaml
config:
pluginsDir: /headlamp/plugins
pluginsManager:
sources:
- name: tns-csi
url: https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-tns-csi-plugin/releases/download/v0.2.4/tns-csi-0.2.4.tar.gz
```
**Via FluxCD HelmRelease:**
```yaml
apiVersion: helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2
kind: HelmRelease
metadata:
name: headlamp
namespace: kube-system
spec:
chart:
spec:
chart: headlamp
sourceRef:
kind: HelmRepository
name: headlamp
values:
config:
pluginsDir: /headlamp/plugins
pluginsManager:
sources:
- name: tns-csi
url: https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-tns-csi-plugin/releases/download/v0.2.4/tns-csi-0.2.4.tar.gz
```
### Method 2: Manual Tarball Install
Download and extract the plugin directly:
```bash
# Download the release tarball
wget https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-tns-csi-plugin/releases/download/v0.2.4/tns-csi-0.2.4.tar.gz
# Verify the checksum
echo "14a3e8c13d0b894a41aa1cfccbcb1f6af09dcbb8fd95c7040a540987ea2096a7 tns-csi-0.2.4.tar.gz" | sha256sum --check
# Extract into your Headlamp plugins directory
tar xzf tns-csi-0.2.4.tar.gz -C /headlamp/plugins/
```
The plugin directory should appear as `/headlamp/plugins/tns-csi/`.
Restart Headlamp (or the pod) after extracting.
### Method 3: Sidecar Container
For Headlamp deployments where you prefer managing plugins as container init sidecars:
```yaml
initContainers:
- name: install-tns-csi-plugin
image: alpine:3
command:
- sh
- -c
- |
wget -O /tmp/plugin.tar.gz \
https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-tns-csi-plugin/releases/download/v0.2.4/tns-csi-0.2.4.tar.gz
tar xzf /tmp/plugin.tar.gz -C /headlamp/plugins/
volumeMounts:
- name: plugins
mountPath: /headlamp/plugins
```
### Method 4: Build from Source
For development or to test unreleased changes:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-tns-csi-plugin.git
cd headlamp-tns-csi-plugin
npm install
npm run build
npm run package
# Produces tns-csi-0.2.4.tar.gz
# Extract to your Headlamp plugins directory
tar xzf tns-csi-0.2.4.tar.gz -C /headlamp/plugins/
```
Or use `headlamp-plugin extract` for automatic placement:
```bash
npx @kinvolk/headlamp-plugin extract . /headlamp/plugins
```
## Post-Installation
After installing the plugin:
1. **Configure RBAC** — see [RBAC Permissions](../user-guide/rbac.md)
2. **Verify the plugin loads** — refresh browser and look for "TrueNAS (tns-csi)" in the sidebar
3. **Check the Overview page** — driver health card should show tns-csi status
## Upgrading
To upgrade to a new version, repeat the installation method you used. The new tarball replaces the old plugin directory.
For Plugin Manager installs, the catalog will show available updates.
## Uninstalling
Remove the plugin directory from your Headlamp plugins directory:
```bash
rm -rf /headlamp/plugins/tns-csi/
```
Or via the Headlamp UI: **Settings → Plugins → tns-csi → Uninstall**.
