Deploy the ts-server helm chart on Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service
TypeScriptTo deploy the
ts-server
Helm chart on Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service (DOKS), you'll need to create the DOKS cluster first and then deploy the Helm chart to that cluster. I'll walk you through creating a DOKS cluster and deploying a Helm chart to it using Pulumi with TypeScript.The primary resources we'll use are:
digitalocean.KubernetesCluster
to create and manage the DOKS cluster.kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
from the@pulumi/kubernetes
package to deploy the Helm chart once the cluster is ready.
Below is the Pulumi program in TypeScript that orchestrates the deployment:
import * as digitalocean from "@pulumi/digitalocean"; import * as kubernetes from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Step 1: Create a Digital Ocean Kubernetes Cluster const cluster = new digitalocean.KubernetesCluster("ts-server-cluster", { region: digitalocean.Regions.NYC1, // Use the appropriate region here version: "latest", // Use a specific version or "latest" for the latest stable nodePool: { name: "default", size: digitalocean.DropletSlugs.DropletS2VCPU2GB, // Choose the appropriate droplet size nodeCount: 2, // Set the desired number of nodes }, }); // Step 2: Use the cluster's kubeconfig to interact with it using Helm const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeConfigs[0].rawConfig; const k8sProvider = new kubernetes.Provider("k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: kubeconfig, }); // Step 3: Deploy the ts-server Helm chart const tsServerChart = new kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart("ts-server-chart", { chart: "ts-server", // The Helm chart name // You can specify the Helm repository url using 'fetchOpts' // fetchOpts: { // repo: "https://helm-repo-url.com/", // }, values: { // Configure your Helm chart values here, as key-value pairs } }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the cluster's name and kubeconfig export const clusterName = cluster.name; export const kubeconfigOutput = kubeconfig;
In this program:
- A Digital Ocean Kubernetes cluster is created with the desired region, version, and node count.
- A Kubernetes provider is then created using this kubeconfig from the DOKS cluster.
- The
ts-server
Helm chart is deployed to this cluster using the created Kubernetes provider.
You would have to replace
"ts-server"
with the actual chart name, and if the chart is hosted in a specific Helm repository, you would specify that as well usingfetchOpts
. If the Helm chart requires specific configuration values, these can be specified in thevalues
object.Keep in mind that before running this program, you need to have Pulumi installed and configured, as well as being authenticated with Digital Ocean to create resources in your account. The
@pulumi/digitalocean
and@pulumi/kubernetes
packages should also be installed in your Pulumi project.
