Installing Spider used to start with a long values.yaml and a lot of reading. The setup wizard in the Portal now writes that file for you.
From “New licence” to a file you can install
Press New licence and the wizard walks you through the choices that matter: the host name and HTTPS, how people sign in, the capacity of the cluster, the optional features, backups and exports, and the cluster options. Each option has a short explanation and a link to the documentation, and the YAML it produces is previewed as you go.
Your licence is created at the end, when you download the file, not before. Leaving the wizard creates nothing. Because the licence is created in the same step, the file already contains your licence key, licence private key and registry login.
Keys stay in your browser
The cluster keys are generated in your browser and never sent to Floocus. The admin account is yours: its password is generated for you and shown once, and the file keeps only its hash. Spider has no default password. Keep two things: the downloaded setup.yaml and that admin password.
Optional features, with the pods they add
Out of the box, Spider captures packets and TCP and UDP sessions, decrypts TLS, and decodes HTTP/1.x, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. The wizard lists the optional features by group (parsing, export, AI integration) and tells you how many pods each one adds, so you can choose with the footprint in view. Features your licence tier does not include are shown as such.
Licences
Your organisation’s first licence is the free Basic one. Further Basic licences are limited per organisation, paid licences are not.
Then install with Helm, using the commands the wizard gives you at the end.
