Install
Using Helm 3
Voyager can be installed via Helm using the chart from AppsCode Charts Repository. To install, follow the steps below:
# provider=acs
# provider=aks
# provider=aws
# provider=azure
# provider=baremetal
# provider=gce
# provider=gke
# provider=kind
# provider=openstack
# provider=metallb
# provider=digitalocean
# provider=linode
$ helm install voyager oci://ghcr.io/appscode-charts/voyager \
--version v2025.9.19 \
--namespace voyager --create-namespace \
--set cloudProvider=$provider \
--set-file license=/path/to/the/license.txt \
--wait --burst-limit=10000 --debug

Using YAML
If you prefer to not use Helm, you can generate YAMLs from Voyager chart and deploy using kubectl. Here we are going to show the procedure using Helm 3.
# provider=acs
# provider=aks
# provider=aws
# provider=azure
# provider=baremetal
# provider=gce
# provider=gke
# provider=kind
# provider=openstack
# provider=metallb
# provider=digitalocean
# provider=linode
$ kubectl create ns voyager
$ helm template voyager oci://ghcr.io/appscode-charts/voyager \
--version v2025.9.19 \
--namespace voyager --create-namespace \
--set cloudProvider=$provider \
--set-file license=/path/to/the/license.txt \
--set cleaner.skip=true | kubectl apply -f -

Verify installation
To check if Voyager operator pods have started, run the following command:
$ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -l app.kubernetes.io/name=voyager --watch
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
voyager voyager-operator-84d575d55-5lphm 1/1 Running 0 6m42s
Once the operator pods are running, you can cancel the above command by typing Ctrl+C.
Now, to confirm CRD groups have been registered by the operator, run the following command:
$ kubectl get crd -l app.kubernetes.io/name=voyager
Now, you are ready to create your first ingress using Voyager.
Configuring RBAC
Voyager creates an Ingress CRD. Voyager installer will create 2 user facing cluster roles:
| ClusterRole | Aggregates To | Description |
|---|---|---|
| appscode:voyager:edit | admin, edit | Allows edit access to Voyager CRDs, intended to be granted within a namespace using a RoleBinding. |
| appscode:voyager:view | view | Allows read-only access to Voyager CRDs, intended to be granted within a namespace using a RoleBinding. |
These user facing roles supports ClusterRole Aggregation feature in Kubernetes 1.9 or later clusters.
Using kubectl
Since Voyager uses its own TPR/CRD, you need to use full resource kind to find it with kubectl.
# List all voyager ingress
$ kubectl get ingress.voyager.appscode.com --all-namespaces
# List voyager ingress for a namespace
$ kubectl get ingress.voyager.appscode.com -n <namespace>
# Get Ingress YAML
$ kubectl get ingress.voyager.appscode.com -n <namespace> <ingress-name> -o yaml
# Describe Ingress. Very useful to debug problems.
$ kubectl describe ingress.voyager.appscode.com -n <namespace> <ingress-name>
