Deploy the backuppc helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE)
TypeScriptTo deploy the BackupPC Helm chart on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE), you will need a Kubernetes cluster running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Below, I will outline the steps and provide a Pulumi program written in TypeScript that will help you accomplish this task.
- Setting up the OKE cluster: We will use the
oci.ContainerEngine.Cluster
resource to create a new Kubernetes cluster. This step involves configuring the cluster with the necessary virtual cloud network (VCN) and options. - Installing the Helm Chart: The Helm Chart for BackupPC will be deployed using the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
resource from Pulumi's Kubernetes provider. This will manage the release of the BackupPC chart to your OKE cluster.
Here is a step by step Pulumi program to deploy the BackupPC Helm chart on OKE:
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as oci from "@pulumi/oci"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create an OCI provider configuration const provider = new oci.Provider("provider", { region: "us-phoenix-1", // Change to the region where you want to deploy the OKE cluster }); // Specify the compartment where OKE will be provisioned const compartmentId = "<Your-OCI-Compartment-ID>"; // Create a virtual cloud network and subnets for the cluster const vcn = new oci.core.Vcn("okeVcn", { compartmentId: compartmentId, cidrBlock: "10.0.0.0/16", displayName: "oke-vcn", dnsLabel: "okevcn", }, { provider }); const subnet = new oci.core.Subnet("okeSubnet", { compartmentId: compartmentId, vcnId: vcn.id, cidrBlock: "10.0.1.0/24", securityListIds: [vcn.defaultSecurityListId], displayName: "oke-subnet", dnsLabel: "okesubnet", }, { provider }); // Create an OKE cluster const cluster = new oci.containerengine.Cluster("okeCluster", { compartmentId: compartmentId, vcnId: vcn.id, kubernetesVersion: "v1.19.7", // Set the version you prefer options: { serviceLbSubnetIds: [subnet.id], }, }, { provider }); // Create a Kubeconfig for the cluster const kubeconfig = pulumi.all([cluster.id, compartmentId]).apply(([clusterId, compartmentId]) => oci.containerengine.getClusterKubeconfig({ clusterId: clusterId, compartmentId: compartmentId, }, { async: true }) ); // Create a Kubernetes provider instance using the kubeconfig const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("okeK8s", { kubeconfig: kubeconfig.apply(c => c.content), }, { dependsOn: cluster }); // Deploy the BackupPC Helm chart const backuppcChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("backuppc", { chart: "backuppc", version: "4.4.0", // Specify the version of the chart you want to deploy namespace: "default", fetchOpts: { repo: "http://your-helm-chart-repo/", // Specify the Helm chart repository }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the cluster name and the BackupPC chart status export const clusterName = cluster.name; export const backuppcChartStatus = backuppcChart.status;
Make sure to replace
<Your-OCI-Compartment-ID>
with the actual compartment ID and specify the correct region, Kubernetes version, and Helm chart version and repository URL in the above code. The Kubernetes provider will use the kubeconfig from the created OKE cluster to deploy the BackupPC chart. After running this program with Pulumi, you will have the OKE cluster running with BackupPC deployed via Helm.To run this program: save the code to a file named
index.ts
, install the necessary dependencies, and then execute it using the Pulumi CLI.# Install Pulumi CLI and the necessary dependencies npm install @pulumi/pulumi @pulumi/oci @pulumi/kubernetes # Login to your Pulumi account pulumi login # Create a new Pulumi stack pulumi stack init dev # Review the program to be deployed pulumi preview # Deploy the stack pulumi up
This will provision the resources on OCI and deploy the BackupPC Helm chart. The output of
pulumi up
will display the status of the deployment.- Setting up the OKE cluster: We will use the
