# SPAR Deployment

## Introduction

SPAR deployment comprises deploying the following services on [Kubernetes cluster infrastructure](/1.2/deployment/infrastructure-setup.md).

* [SPAR Service](/1.2/platform/modules/social-payments-account-registry-spar.md#spar-service) 
* [SPAR ID Account Mapper](/1.2/platform/modules/social-payments-account-registry-spar.md#id-account-mapper) 
* [SPAR Self Service Portal](/1.2/platform/modules/social-payments-account-registry-spar.md#spar-self-service-portal)  

## Prerequisites

* The following utilities/tools must be present on the user's machine.
  * `kubectl`, `istioctl`, `helm`, `jq`, `curl`, `wget`, `git`, `bash`, `envsubst`.
* This module requires kubernetes infrastructure to be setup. For details, [click here](/1.2/deployment/infrastructure-setup.md)
* [PostgreSQL](/1.2/deployment/external-components-setup/postgresql-server.md)
* SPAR Self Service Portal needs an e-Signet instance to allow login through national ID. To install eSignet on the OpenG2P K8s cluster with mock ID system, use the [eSignet guide](/1.2/deployment/external-components-setup/esignet-deployment.md).

## Installation

* Clone the <https://github.com/openg2p/openg2p-deployment> repo and navigate to [kubernetes/social-payments-account-registry](https://github.com/OpenG2P/openg2p-deployment/tree/main/kubernetes/social-payments-account-registry) directory.
* Configure the values.yaml in this folder according to the components needed. Go over the comments to check what can be added/edited/removed.
* Run:

  ```bash
  SANDBOX_HOSTNAME=openg2p.sandbox.net \
      ./install.sh
  ```

## Post-installation

After installation, SPAR Self Service portal will be accessible at <https://spar.openg2p.sandbox.net>, SPAR Service APIs will be accessible at <https://spar.openg2p.sandbox.net/spar/v1>, and SPAR ID Mapper APIs will be accessible at <https://spar.openg2p.sandbox.net/mapper/v1>, depending on the hostname given above.

Follow [SPAR Post Installation](/1.2/deployment/openg2p-modules-deployment/spar-deployment/spar-post-installation-configuration.md) Guide to finish setup.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openg2p.org/1.2/deployment/openg2p-modules-deployment/spar-deployment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
