Deploy the airbyte-api-server helm chart on Rancher
TypeScriptTo deploy the
airbyte-api-server
Helm chart on Rancher, you need to follow these general steps:- Set up a Rancher cluster where you want to deploy the Helm chart. In your case, you would already have a Rancher cluster available.
- Use Pulumi to interface with Rancher to deploy a Helm chart by interacting with the Kubernetes API exposed by Rancher.
- Install and manage the Helm chart within the cluster.
When using Pulumi to interact with Rancher, you typically work with the
rancher2
package which provides resources to manage Rancher itself. However, to deploy a Helm chart, we would interact more directly with the Kubernetes API resources; hence we would work with thekubernetes
provider in Pulumi.Below is a TypeScript program that demonstrates how you can deploy the
airbyte-api-server
Helm chart on a Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster:import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; // Create a provider for the existing Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster. // You need to ensure that the kubeconfig is correctly set up for this to work. const clusterProvider = new k8s.Provider("rancher-k8s", { kubeconfig: pulumi.output(<YOUR_RANCHER_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG_HERE>).apply(JSON.stringify), }); // Define the Helm chart deployment for the airbyte-api-server. const chart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("airbyte-api-server", { chart: "airbyte-api-server", version: "<CHART_VERSION>", // specify the chart version you want to deploy fetchOpts:{ repo: "<HELM_CHART_REPOSITORY>", // specify the chart repository URL }, }, { provider: clusterProvider }); // Export the desired endpoint, which depends on the Service resource of the Helm chart. // This example assumes that your Helm chart creates a Service resource named 'api-service'. export const endpoint = chart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "api-service", "status") .apply(status => status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname || status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip);
In this program:
- We create a new Pulumi Kubernetes provider that is configured to use the kubeconfig of your Rancher-managed cluster. This allows Pulumi to communicate with your cluster.
- We then define a Helm chart resource using Pulumi's Kubernetes provider. In the
Chart
constructor, we specify the name of the Helm chart (in this case, the fictionalairbyte-api-server
) along with the version you'd like to deploy. - We're using Helm to deploy the chart, with
fetchOpts.repo
pointing to the Helm repository whereairbyte-api-server
chart is hosted. - Finally, we export the endpoint of the deployed service. This would output the hostname or IP address through which you can access the Airbyte API server after the deployment is completed. The resource name 'api-service' should match the name given to the service within the Helm chart. Be sure to replace placeholders like
"<CHART_VERSION>"
and"<HELM_CHART_REPOSITORY>"
with actual values.
Make sure to replace
<YOUR_RANCHER_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG_HERE>
with the actual kubeconfig for your Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster. Also, replace placeholder values like<CHART_VERSION>
and<HELM_CHART_REPOSITORY>
with the specific version of theairbyte-api-server
Helm chart you want to use and the URL to the Helm repository where the chart is hosted, respectively.To run this Pulumi program:
- Install the Pulumi CLI and set up your Pulumi project and stack.
- Install Node.js and NPM if you have not already.
- Place the TypeScript code into an
index.ts
file in your Pulumi project directory. - Install the necessary packages by running
npm install @pulumi/kubernetes
. - Run
pulumi up
to preview and deploy the changes.
Remember, you will need to have your Rancher cluster's kubeconfig file correctly configured on your local machine for Pulumi to connect to and manage your cluster. This typically involves setting up the
KUBECONFIG
environment variable or placing your kubeconfig file at the default location (~/.kube/config
).
