Deploy the wireguard-pia helm chart on Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service
TypeScriptTo deploy the WireGuard-PIA Helm chart on the Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service using Pulumi, we will first create a Kubernetes cluster on Digital Ocean. Then, we will deploy the WireGuard-PIA Helm chart to the cluster. I will guide you step by step and explain each part of the process.
Step 1: Create a Kubernetes Cluster on Digital Ocean
We will start by creating a Digital Ocean Kubernetes (DOKS) cluster. This is done using the
digitalocean.KubernetesCluster
resource in Pulumi. We need to specify the region, version of Kubernetes, the node pool configuration, etc.Step 2: Deploy the WireGuard-PIA Helm chart
Once we have our cluster, we'll deploy the Helm chart for WireGuard-PIA. In Pulumi, Helm charts can be deployed using the
kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart
resource. This allows us to specify the chart name, repository, and any custom values we need to configure.Let's write the TypeScript program to perform these steps. This program should be placed in a file with a
.ts
extension, such asindex.ts
.import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as digitalocean from "@pulumi/digitalocean"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create a Digital Ocean Kubernetes Cluster const cluster = new digitalocean.KubernetesCluster("do-cluster", { region: "nyc1", // select the region that is closest to you or your users version: "1.21.5-do.0", // use the latest stable version of Kubernetes nodePool: { name: "default", size: "s-2vcpu-2gb", // select the size that fits your needs nodeCount: 2 // set the number of nodes in the node pool }, }); // Export the kubeconfig to connect to the cluster export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeConfigs.apply(kc => kc[0].rawConfig); // Create a provider for the Kubernetes cluster created by Digital Ocean const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("do-k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: kubeconfig, }); // Deploy the WireGuard-PIA Helm chart to the Kubernetes cluster const wireguardPiaChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("wireguard-pia", { chart: "wireguard-pia", // name of the Helm chart fetchOpts: { repo: "https://helm.repo.url", // the URL of the chart repository }, // Define any custom values for the Helm chart deployment. // Refer to the specific Helm chart's documentation for available options. // values: { // key: "value", // }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the Kubernetes cluster name export const clusterName = cluster.name;
This Pulumi program accomplishes the following:
- Imports the required Pulumi packages.
- Creates a Kubernetes cluster on Digital Ocean using the
digitalocean.KubernetesCluster
resource. Adjust theregion
,version
, andnodePool
properties according to your requirements. - Exports the
kubeconfig
which will be used to interact with the Kubernetes cluster. - Creates a Pulumi Kubernetes provider that allows us to deploy resources to our Digital Ocean Kubernetes cluster.
- Deploys the WireGuard-PIA Helm chart using the
k8s.helm.v3.Chart
resource. Make sure to replace thechart
andrepo
fields with appropriate values for the WireGuard-PIA chart you wish to deploy.
After creating the program, run
pulumi up
in your terminal to execute the code and create the resources. Remember to have the Pulumi CLI installed and authenticated with Digital Ocean.Documentation for resources used in this program can be found here:
This is a starting point for deploying the WireGuard-PIA helm chart to a Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service. Remember to check the official Helm chart documentation for any additional configuration required for the WireGuard-PIA chart itself.
Keep in mind you'll need to have a valid Pulumi access token and your Digital Ocean API token configured. These are typically set via environment variables or the Pulumi stack configuration.
