Deploy the onedev helm chart on Kubernetes

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the OneDev Helm chart on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi, you'll need to use the `Chart` resource from the Pulumi Kubernetes provider. Helm charts are packages that contain all the necessary resources to deploy an application or service into a Kubernetes cluster. The `Chart` resource in Pulumi allows you to declaratively manage Helm charts.

Below is a Pulumi program written in TypeScript that demonstrates how to deploy the OneDev Helm chart on a Kubernetes cluster. In this example, I am assuming that the chart is available in a public Helm repository. If it is available in a private repository or requires custom repository settings, you would need to adjust the `repo` parameter accordingly.

Before running this program, ensure that you have:

1. A working Kubernetes cluster.
2. The `kubectl` command-line tool configured to communicate with your cluster.
3. The Pulumi CLI installed and logged in.
4. The Helm CLI installed (if you need to pull chart details manually, though not strictly necessary for Pulumi to work).

Here's the Pulumi program with explanations:

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

// Create a Kubernetes namespace for the OneDev deployment (optional).
const ns = new k8s.core.v1.Namespace("onedev-namespace", {
    metadata: {
        // You can add annotations or labels here if needed.
        name: "onedev"
    }
});

// Deploy the OneDev Helm chart into the created namespace.
const onedevChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("onedev", {
    chart: "onedev", // This is the name of the chart in your chosen repository.
    version: "1.0.0", // Specify the version of the chart you want to deploy. Replace with the desired version.
    namespace: ns.metadata.name, // Deploy the chart in the created "onedev" namespace.
    repo: "https://helm.onedev.io/", // The URL of the Helm repository where the OneDev chart is hosted.
    // If you have a values.yaml file or an object with values, you can specify them here.
    // values: { /* Your custom configuration values here */ },
}, { provider: /* Your Kubernetes provider configuration here if you have one. */ });

// Export the namespace name and chart status.
export const namespaceName = ns.metadata.name;
export const onedevChartStatus = onedevChart.status;
```

In the above Pulumi program:

- We import the Pulumi Kubernetes SDK to interact with Kubernetes resources.
- We create a new Kubernetes namespace called `onedev` to separate the OneDev deployment from other services in the cluster.
- We deploy the OneDev Helm chart using the `Chart` resource, specifying the chart name, version, and repository URL. The chart is deployed into the `onedev` namespace.
- We export the namespace name and the status of the Helm chart deployment to easily access this information from the Pulumi CLI.

To actually apply this configuration to your Kubernetes cluster, save the code to a file (e.g., `index.ts`), set up a new Pulumi project and stack by following the instructions from the [Pulumi documentation](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/project/), and run `pulumi up` from your terminal. This will prompt Pulumi to preview and then perform the deployment.

Be sure to replace the `version` with the specific version of OneDev you wish to deploy and the `repo` with the actual repository if it's different from the given example. If you need to provide additional configuration values, you can do so through the `values` property of the `Chart` resource.

If you need to specify custom credentials or other configuration for your Kubernetes provider, you can pass a `provider` argument to the `Chart` resource. The Kubernetes provider in Pulumi can automatically use the current context from your kubeconfig file if available.
