To deploy Ory in Kubernetes, the first thing you should set up is the Ory Helm repository. According to the knowledge sources, you need to follow these initial steps: 1. Add the Ory Helm repository:

helm repo add ory <https://k8s.ory.sh/helm/charts> helm repo update

2. Create the

ory

namespace:

kubectl create namespace ory

After setting up the Helm repository and creating the namespace, you can proceed with deploying the specific Ory components you need, such as Ory Hydra. It's important to note that Ory recommends using a production-grade database such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or CockroachDB for data storage in production environments. The documentation specifically advises against using SQLite in production. For more detailed information on deploying Ory components in Kubernetes, you can refer to the [Kubernetes Helm Chart documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/kubernetes-helm-chart).

Based on the knowledge sources provided and the previous conversation history, there isn't specific information about which Ory component used to be deployed first after setting up the Helm repository and creating the namespace. The documentation doesn't mention a strict order for deploying Ory components. However, I can provide some context based on the available information: 1. In the previous answer, we discussed setting up the Ory Helm repository and creating the

ory

namespace as the initial steps. 2. After these initial steps, the deployment of specific Ory components would depend on your particular use case and requirements. 3. The knowledge sources mainly focus on deploying Ory Hydra, which is an OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect provider. This suggests that Hydra might be a common starting point for many deployments. 4. The [Kubernetes Helm Chart documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/kubernetes-helm-chart) provides detailed information on deploying Ory Hydra using Helm charts. If you're looking for information about a specific component that used to be deployed first in older versions or setups, unfortunately, the provided knowledge sources don't contain that historical information. The current documentation seems to focus on flexible deployments based on user needs rather than a strict order of component deployment. If you have a specific component in mind or if you're looking for information about a particular version of Ory, please let me know, and I'll try to provide more targeted information if it's available in the knowledge sources.
