Deploy the openvpn-as helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE)
TypeScriptTo deploy the
openvpn-as
Helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) using Pulumi, you would need to write a program that accomplishes the following:- Creates an Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) cluster if you don't have one already.
- Installs the Helm chart for OpenVPN Access Server (openvpn-as) on the OKE cluster.
Below is a Pulumi program written in TypeScript that demonstrates how you can use Pulumi to deploy the
openvpn-as
Helm chart on OKE. The program assumes that you have already set up the Pulumi CLI with the necessary Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) credentials and that you have installed the required Pulumi packages.import * as oci from "@pulumi/oci"; import * as kubernetes from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Replace the following placeholders with your actual OCI compartment and VCN details. const compartmentId = "ocid1.compartment.oc1..<unique_ID>"; const vcnId = "ocid1.vcn.oc1..<unique_ID>"; // Create an OKE cluster. const cluster = new oci.containerengine.Cluster("my-oke-cluster", { compartmentId: compartmentId, vcnId: vcnId, kubernetesVersion: "v1.20.8", // Specify the Kubernetes version supported by OKE. options: { serviceLbSubnetIds: [], // Provide subnet IDs to enable load balancers. // You may need to specify additional options based on your requirements. }, }); const kubeconfig = pulumi. all([cluster.id, cluster.kubeconfigContent]). apply(([id, kubeconfigContent]) => { if (id && kubeconfigContent) { // Temporary kubeconfig file to interact with the cluster. const tmpKubeconfigFile = "/path/to/kubeconfig"; fs.writeFileSync(tmpKubeconfigFile, kubeconfigContent); return tmpKubeconfigFile; } }); // Define the provider to interact with your OKE cluster. const provider = new kubernetes.Provider("oke-k8s", { kubeconfig: kubeconfig, }); // Deploy the openvpn-as Helm Chart const openvpnChart = new kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart("openvpn-as", { chart: "openvpn-as", version: "4.0.0", // Use the correct chart version namespace: "default", // Change the namespace if needed }, { provider: provider }); // Export the OpenVPN server address export const openvpnAddress = openvpnChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "openvpn-as", "status");
Let's break down the program:
- It starts by importing the necessary Pulumi packages for Oracle (
@pulumi/oci
) and Kubernetes (@pulumi/kubernetes
). - Replace the
compartmentId
andvcnId
with the actual values corresponding to your OCI setup. - A new OKE cluster is created using
oci.containerengine.Cluster
. This includes specifying the Kubernetes version and any other necessary options such as subnet IDs for load balancers. Ensure you replace placeholders with actual subnet IDs. - Pulumi then constructs the kubeconfig needed to interact with the cluster using the
pulumi.all
method. This configuration is written to a temporary file for use with the Kubernetes provider. - The Kubernetes provider is set up with this kubeconfig, allowing Pulumi to communicate with the cluster (
oke-k8s
). - The
openvpn-as
Helm Chart is deployed using thekubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
class. You will need to specify the correct chart version. - Lastly, the OpenVPN server address is exported, which you can use to connect to your VPN after deployment.
You need to install Pulumi and configure it for use with OCI. Consult the Pulumi installation guide and OCI setup guide for instructions.
Once the environment is set up, you can run this Pulumi program by saving it to a file, for example,
index.ts
, and running the following commands in the terminal:pulumi stack init dev # Initialize a new stack called `dev` pulumi up # Preview and deploy the changes
Ensure you have the
openvpn-as
Helm chart name and version correct as per the chart's repository details.After executing the above commands, Pulumi will perform the deployment, and upon completion, the output should include the OpenVPN server's address which you can use to configure your VPN client.
