Deploy the hive-server helm chart on Rancher

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the `hive-server` Helm chart on Rancher using Pulumi, you'll need to set up the following:

1. A Rancher Kubernetes cluster where you want to deploy the Helm chart.
2. A Rancher Catalog that includes your Helm chart.
3. A Helm chart deployment to Rancher Kubernetes cluster.

Below is a Pulumi program in TypeScript that demonstrates these steps:

1. **Rancher Kubernetes Cluster**: The `rancher2.Cluster` resource is used to create or manage a Kubernetes cluster in Rancher.
2. **Rancher Catalog**: The `rancher2.CatalogV2` resource is used to add a catalog to Rancher, which can contain your Helm chart.
3. **Helm Chart Deployment**: The `helm.v3.Chart` resource from the Pulumi Helm provider is used to deploy the `hive-server` chart to your Rancher Kubernetes cluster.

Please replace `RANCHER_CLUSTER_NAME`, `CATALOG_NAME`, `CATALOG_URL`, `CHART_NAME`, and other placeholder variables with appropriate values. You may need to adjust the properties based on the specifics of your deployment.

```typescript
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as rancher2 from "@pulumi/rancher2";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";
import * as helm from "@pulumi/kubernetes/helm";

// Configure the Rancher2 provider
const rancher2Provider = new rancher2.Provider("rancherProvider", {
    // Provide your Rancher API URL, Access Key, and Secret Key
    apiUrl: "https://your-rancher-api-url",
    accessKey: "your-rancher-access-key",
    secretKey: "your-rancher-secret-key",
});

// Create a Rancher Kubernetes cluster (replace with your cluster's configuration)
const cluster = new rancher2.Cluster("rancherCluster", {
    name: "RANCHER_CLUSTER_NAME",
    rkeConfig: {
        // Define your RKE cluster configuration here
    },
}, { provider: rancher2Provider });

// Add a catalog to Rancher that includes the hive-server Helm chart
const catalog = new rancher2.CatalogV2("rancherCatalog", {
    name: "CATALOG_NAME",
    url: "CATALOG_URL",
    clusterId: cluster.id,
}, { provider: rancher2Provider });

// Deploy the hive-server Helm chart to your Rancher Kubernetes cluster
const hiveServerChart = new helm.v3.Chart("hive-server-chart", {
    chart: "CHART_NAME",
    // Specify the version of the chart if necessary
    version: "CHART_VERSION",
    // The repository is where your Helm chart can be found, usually this is the catalog URL
    // Make sure to add your Chart repository to the Rancher Catalog
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: "https://your-helm-chart-repository",
    },
    // Add any values to configure the hive-server chart to your needs (You'll need the Helm chart values for this)
    values: {
        // Define the necessary values for your chart
    },
    // Set the namespace to deploy the Helm chart to
    namespace: "NAMESPACE_NAME",
}, { provider: k8sProvider });

// Export the endpoints or other properties as needed
export const hiveServerEndpoint = hiveServerChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "NAMESPACE_NAME/SERVICE_NAME", "status").apply(status => status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip);
```

In the example above, ensure you have:

- A working Rancher setup that you have access to.
- Proper values for the placeholders including the `RANCHER_CLUSTER_NAME`, `CATALOG_NAME`, `CATALOG_URL`, `CHART_NAME`, and other Kubernetes-specific configurations.

After you replace the placeholder values and configure your Kubernetes and Rancher provider details, this Pulumi program will set up the Rancher infrastructure to deploy the `hive-server` Helm chart to your specified cluster.

Keep in mind that managing Rancher and Kubernetes with Pulumi can be complex, as it involves understanding both Pulumi and Rancher/Kubernetes APIs/configurations. It's important to refer to the Pulumi Rancher2 provider documentation and your Helm chart's documentation for specific configuration options.
