Deploy the harbor-operator helm chart on Kubernetes

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the `harbor-operator` Helm chart on Kubernetes using Pulumi, you will need to use the `Chart` resource from the Pulumi Kubernetes provider. The `Chart` resource allows you to deploy a Helm chart into your Kubernetes cluster.

Below is a program in TypeScript that demonstrates how to deploy the `harbor-operator` Helm chart. This program assumes that you already have a Kubernetes cluster configured and that Pulumi is set up with access to it.

First, you'll need to import the necessary Pulumi and Kubernetes packages. Then, create a new Helm `Chart` resource specifying the chart name, version (if desired), and any additional configurations that are required for the chart. For this example, we will assume the `harbor-operator` chart is available in the default Helm repositories.

Here's the Pulumi program for deploying the `harbor-operator` Helm chart:

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

// Create an instance of the helm.v3.Chart class to deploy the harbor-operator helm chart.
const harborOperatorChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("harbor-operator", {
    chart: "harbor-operator",
    // You can specify the version of the chart you want to deploy. 
    // If you omit the version, the latest version will be deployed.
    version: "1.0.0",  // Replace with the desired chart version
    // Define the namespace where the harbor-operator will be deployed.
    // Make sure this namespace exists in your cluster.
    namespace: "harbor-operator-namespace", // Replace with the namespace of your choice
    // Include values to configure the harbor-operator.
    // Values correspond to the values.yaml file used in Helm charts.
    values: {
        // Add your configuration for harbor-operator here.
        // This is an example configuration, adjust it as needed for your setup.
        image: {
            repository: "goharbor/harbor-operator",
            tag: "latest"
        },
        // If the harbor-operator requires additional configurations, add them here.
    },
    // Optional: If you need to override Helm fetch options, you can specify them here.
    fetchOpts: {
        // For instance, if the chart is in a private repository, you need to specify its URL:
        // repo: "https://my-private-repo.com/charts"
    },
});

// Output the harbor-operator deployment status
export const harborOperatorStatus = harborOperatorChart.status;
```

In the program above, replace the placeholder values with the actual values relevant to your deployment. Specifically, you may need to set the `version` with the exact version of the `harbor-operator` helm chart to deploy, specify the `namespace` where it should be installed, and provide the necessary `values` that are specific to your deployment.

The `Chart` resource will automatically convert your Helm chart into the equivalent Kubernetes API objects, and Pulumi will apply these to your cluster.

This program can be run with the Pulumi CLI. Once you've placed the code into a file, such as `index.ts`, simply navigate to the directory containing your `index.ts` file and run the following Pulumi command to preview and deploy the chart to your Kubernetes cluster:

```sh
pulumi up
```

The `pulumi up` command will display a preview of the resources that will be created and prompt you for confirmation before making any changes to your cluster. Once confirmed, it will deploy the `harbor-operator` Helm chart to your Kubernetes cluster.

Remember that Helm charts can be highly configurable, and you might need to provide additional values to properly configure `harbor-operator` for your specific needs. For more information on the available configuration options, you can check the chart's official documentation or values file.
