Deploy the plausible-analytics helm chart on Opensshift

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the Plausible Analytics Helm chart on an OpenShift cluster using Pulumi, you'll be using the Helm Chart resource from the Kubernetes provider. Pulumi's Kubernetes provider allows you to deploy Helm charts, among other resources, to manage your Kubernetes infrastructure.

The kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart resource is used to deploy Helm charts to a Kubernetes cluster. You will need to have access to your OpenShift cluster from your local environment, assuming you have configured kubectl to communicate with your cluster.

In the following program, we will create a new Helm chart resource for deploying Plausible Analytics. Ensure you have the Helm chart details such as the repository URL and the chart name for Plausible Analytics ready to be used.

Here's a Pulumi program in TypeScript that demonstrates how to do this:

import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Create a new instance of the Helm Chart for Plausible Analytics
const plausibleAnalyticsChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("plausible-analytics", {
    // Specify the chart repository and name
    chart: "plausible",
    version: "<insert desired chart version here>",
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: "<insert helm chart repository URL here>",
    },
    // Specify which namespace you want to deploy to
    namespace: "plausible-analytics",
    // Additional values to configure Plausible Analytics
    values: {
        // Specify any custom values needed for your Plausible Analytics Helm chart
        // For example, database connection information, service type, replica count, etc.
        // These values depend on Plausible Analytics Helm chart's available configurations:
        // 
        // service: {
        //   type: "ClusterIP", // or "NodePort", "LoadBalancer", etc.
        // },
        // replicaCount: 1,
        // ...
    },
});

// Export the name of the Helm chart deployment and the namespace where it's deployed, if needed
export const chartName = plausibleAnalyticsChart.metadata.name;
export const chartNamespace = plausibleAnalyticsChart.metadata.namespace;

Replace <insert desired chart version here> with the version of the Plausible Analytics chart that you want to deploy. Also, replace <insert helm chart repository URL here> with the appropriate Helm chart repository URL where the Plausible Analytics chart is located.

The namespace property specifies the Kubernetes namespace into which the chart should be deployed. The values property can be used to set any custom configuration that the chart supports. This will vary depending on the chart and what you need to customize.

Please note the following assumptions and prerequisites for running the above program:

You have Pulumi installed and set up to manage resources in your OpenShift cluster.
You have the Helm CLI installed and configured.
You have access to the OpenShift cluster and the kubectl command-line tool is authenticated to the cluster.
You have already created a namespace named plausible-analytics in the cluster or you wish to use an existing namespace.

After writing this code, you may run the Pulumi program using the pulumi up command, which will provision the resources as defined in the code. Pulumi will output the status of the resources being deployed and will await confirmation before proceeding with any changes.
