Deploy the gitea-operator helm chart on Opensshift

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the Gitea operator Helm chart on an OpenShift cluster, you will need to use Pulumi with the Kubernetes provider. Pulumi is an infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows you to define and deploy cloud resources using general-purpose programming languages. In this case, we'll use TypeScript.

Before running the following program, you should have the Pulumi CLI installed and configured, have access to an OpenShift cluster, and have your kubeconfig file pointing to the OpenShift cluster.

Here's a Pulumi program in TypeScript that will deploy the Gitea operator on OpenShift:

First, you'll need to import the necessary Pulumi packages for Kubernetes and the Helm charts.
Define a new Helm chart resource using the kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart class.
Specify the appropriate chart parameters such as the repo URL and the chart name for Gitea.

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

// Create a new Gitea Helm chart in the specified namespace.
const giteaOperatorChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('gitea-operator', {
    // The chart can be fetched from a remote Helm chart repository here.
    // If it's available in an OpenShift-specific catalog, make sure to adjust
    // the `repo` and `chart` attributes accordingly.
    chart: 'gitea-operator',
    version: '<Chart Version>', // Replace with the desired chart version.
    namespace: 'gitea', // Optional: specify the namespace. If non-existent, Pulumi will create it.
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: 'https://<helm-chart-repo-url>', // Replace with the actual repository URL.
    },
    // Define values for the Helm Chart. This can be used to adjust the default settings to your needs.
    // Check the specific Gitea Helm chart's values file for available options.
    values: {
        // Define custom values here. For example:
        // serviceType: 'LoadBalancer',
        // adminUsername: 'admin',
        // adminPassword: 'password',
    },
}, { provider: <OpenShiftProvider> });  // Ensure you pass your OpenShift provider here if required.

export const giteaOperatorChartName = giteaOperatorChart.metadata.name;

Please replace <helm-chart-repo-url> with the actual URL of the Helm chart repository where the Gitea operator chart is hosted and <Chart Version> with the chart version you want to deploy. You will also need to provide values for any required chart values. This information can typically be found on the Helm repository that hosts the chart.

Also, if needed, replace the provider field with the proper configuration to connect to your OpenShift cluster (this is optional if your kubeconfig is already pointed to the correct cluster).

The export line at the end of the file will expose the name of the deployed Helm chart as a stack output. You can then see this output after deploying with the Pulumi CLI using pulumi stack output.

To run this Pulumi program, you would normally:

Save the code to a file (e.g., index.ts).
Run pulumi up to create the resources defined in the program.

This script assumes that you already have Pulumi set up and authenticated against your Kubernetes cluster. If necessary, adjust the configurations for your specific Kubernetes/OpenShift setup.
