Deploy the sftp-gcs helm chart on Rancher
TypeScriptDeploying an SFTP server backed by Google Cloud Storage (GCS) involves setting up an SFTP service where the data is actually stored in a GCS bucket. The
sftp-gcs
Helm chart can simplify the deployment of this setup on Kubernetes clusters, including those managed by Rancher.To deploy the
sftp-gcs
Helm chart on a Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi, you'll need the following:- A Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster already set up and accessible.
- The
sftp-gcs
Helm chart available in a Helm chart repository or your local filesystem. - The Pulumi programming model to declare infrastructure as code.
Below is a Pulumi TypeScript program that demonstrates how you can deploy the
sftp-gcs
Helm chart to a Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster:import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as kubernetes from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; import * as rancher2 from "@pulumi/rancher2"; // Initialize a Pulumi Kubernetes provider for the Rancher-managed cluster. // You must have the kubeconfig file for your Rancher cluster available. // The kubeconfig usually gets set up when you create a cluster with Rancher. // It specifies the necessary details to connect to the Kubernetes API of the cluster. const rancherK8sProvider = new kubernetes.Provider("rancher-k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: process.env.KUBECONFIG, // Ensure that KUBECONFIG is set in the environment variables }); // Deploying a Helm chart requires the Helm Release resource. // Here we are setting up the 'sftp-gcs' Helm chart. const sftpGcsHelmChart = new kubernetes.helm.v3.Release("sftp-gcs", { chart: "sftp-gcs", // This is the chart name, which should be available in your chart repository repositoryOpts: { repo: "https://your-helm-chart-repository.com/", // Replace with the URL of your Helm chart repository }, values: { // Here, you'll include the values required for 'sftp-gcs' chart. // For example, you may need to specify the GCS credentials, bucket details, and SFTP users. // Refer to the specific 'sftp-gcs' chart documentation for the full list of configurable values. }, }, { provider: rancherK8sProvider }); // Notice that we specify the rancherK8sProvider // The output that provides the status of the Helm Release. export const sftpGcsStatus = sftpGcsHelmChart.status;
Please ensure the following before you run this Pulumi program:
- Replace
"https://your-helm-chart-repository.com/"
with the actual repository URL where thesftp-gcs
Helm chart is located. - Replace the
values
with your specific configuration according to thesftp-gcs
Helm chart documentation. - Ensure the environment variable
KUBECONFIG
is set with the path to your kubeconfig file, which holds the connection information for the Kubernetes cluster managed by Rancher.
In this program,
@pulumi/kubernetes
is used as a provider for Kubernetes resources and allows Pulumi to work with Kubernetes objects.@pulumi/rancher2
is used for resources related to Rancher 2.x, though we're not directly using any specific Rancher resource in this example.The
helm.v3.Release
resource is a Pulumi resource that represents a Helm chart release within a Kubernetes cluster. Here, it's used to deploy thesftp-gcs
Helm chart.Once you configure and run this Pulumi program, it will reach out to your Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster and deploy the SFTP service backed by GCS as specified in the Helm chart.
