Platform Engineering Series | EP 4: How to Deploy Backstage? The Hard Way 

This was very helpful, thanks for sharing this in depth guide !

Really good job mr. Good Guy! I am starting as a junior DevOps Engineer with minimum experience and was thrown into Backstage never working with it. I find this series extremely helpful and I hope you will keep posting more and more videos!! for example securing your app with SSL or pretty much enything. Just a small detail, though it might be silly for others. For the next videos if your camera stops working or you do not record a certain part of tutorial, please get back to it. (like here when you skip a detailed part with github tokens) tho probably its better for me to explore and try to figure it out. anyways, keep it up, great videos, you earned yourself a sub

Fantástica abordagem. Realmente entregou valor para mim. Agora tenho material para estudar por um bom tempo... Espero poder ver mais vídeos como esse... Quem sabe uma POC de um SRE rsrsrs

thank you for the amazing tutorial. My issue is, plugins directory and types.ts file under packages/backend are missing on my boilerplate code provided by executing `npx @backstage/create-app@latest`. Do we need to manually introduce them in the project?

The entire video series is really nice. We don't have better and concise videos in the YT. Is there any plan to come up with a video on one end to end project with the YAML templates, Catalog graph??

Very helpful! And could you provide your zsh shell prompt variable?

thanks for this video. My issue is after deploying i am taken to a guest user mode page and i am trying to see it authenticate my github profile. I don't kone how to fix that.

nice! on my tests the k8s plugin not showing, maybe another video with more examples.

Is it docker necesary? Or can I just go localhost only

Hi, Is it neccessary to checkout source code? I'm confused because you run "npx @backstage/create-app" command and this command creates neccessary files for docker build am I wrong?

If something need the version 1 for something as central as yarn, then you might consider to not using it :)

Hi, Thanks for the video! I am getting this error in the backstage pod after following the steps - Error: Failed to instantiate service 'core.tokenManager' for 'search' because the factory function threw an error, Error: Failed to instantiate service 'core.tokenManager' because createRootContext threw an error, Error: You must configure at least one key in backend.auth.keys for production. I have added that key to the config files, and also rebuild the image, still hitting the issue. Can you help me here?

can you show to deploy in cloud kubernetes cluster rather than in local cluster ?

Thank you very much for this tutorial! But at the end, I can not see the pods logs using kubernetes plugin. Show this error: Proxy request failed with 500 Internal Server Error, {"error":{"name":"Error","message":"Cluster 'kind-local' request error; caused by Error: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:80","cause":{"errno":-111,"code":"ECONNREFUSED","syscall":"connect","address":"::1","port":80,"name":"Error","message":"connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:80","stack":"Error: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:80 at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1555:16)"},"level":"error"},"request":{"method":"GET","url":"/api/kubernetes/proxy/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods/users-api-nginx-589dd64f99-589fn/log?container=nginx"},"response":{"statusCode":500}} I tried add this clusterrole, but no success: github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/master/docs/features/kubernetes/configuration.md#role-based-access-control
