Deploy the bitwarden helm chart on Opensshift

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the Bitwarden Helm chart on OpenShift, you'll utilize Pulumi's Kubernetes provider, specifically leveraging the `kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart` class which allows for Helm Chart deployments on a Kubernetes cluster, including OpenShift.

Here's how you can accomplish this using TypeScript:

1. **Set up the Pulumi Project and Install Packages**: First, ensure you are in a Pulumi project. You need to have the `@pulumi/kubernetes` package installed.

2. **Configure Pulumi for Kubernetes and OpenShift**: Since OpenShift is a Kubernetes distribution, you'll use the Kubernetes provider. However, you must have your OpenShift cluster configured, and `kubectl` should be configured to point to it.

3. **Add Helm Chart**: Use the `kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart` resource to deploy the Bitwarden chart from its Helm repository.

4. **Export Outputs**: After its deployment, export any outputs you need, such as the deployed service URL.

The following program demonstrates how to write this Pulumi code:

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

// Create a Kubernetes provider instance that targets the desired OpenShift cluster.
const openshiftProvider = new k8s.Provider("openshift", {
    // You must configure the provider with the appropriate context if it is
    // not the current context from your kubeconfig
});

// Now, deploy the Bitwarden Helm chart on OpenShift using the provider created above.
const bitwardenChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("bitwarden", {
    // Specify the repository options for the Helm chart.
    repo: "bitwarden",
    chart: "bitwarden",
    // Add any value overrides below if needed. You'll need to check the chart's values
    // for what overrides might be necessary, such as storage options on OpenShift.
    values: {
        // Example of potential value overrides:
        // replicaCount: 2,
    },
    // Define the OpenShift namespace (project) where you want to deploy Bitwarden
    namespace: "bitwarden-namespace",
}, { provider: openshiftProvider });

// Export the URL of the Bitwarden service, if available
export const bitwardenUrl = bitwardenChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "bitwarden", "status").apply(status => {
    const ingress = status.loadBalancer?.ingress?.[0];
    if (ingress) {
        if (ingress.ip) return `http://${ingress.ip}`;
        if (ingress.hostname) return `http://${ingress.hostname}`;
    }
});

// NOTE: The resource names and properties used above like `chart`, `repo` and the output
// property path may vary based on the actual Helm Chart. Please consult the chart's
// documentation or values file for exact details.
```

This code creates an instance of a Helm Chart using the `kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart` and deploys it onto the connected OpenShift cluster. Note that you'll need to update the code with the correct repository where the Bitwarden chart is located (change the `repo`), and you may also need to adjust the `values` based on your specific configuration needs for Bitwarden on OpenShift.

Remember, the exact details (like the repository URL, chart version, value overrides) are unique to the Bitwarden Helm chart and your OpenShift environment, so consult the specific documentation as needed.
