Deploy the bytesafe-ce helm chart on Rancher
TypeScriptTo deploy the
bytesafe-ce
Helm chart on a Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster, you'll need to follow certain steps. Firstly, ensure you have a Kubernetes cluster managed by Rancher and that you have access to it.We will be using Pulumi with the
rancher2
provider to manage the Kubernetes resources within Rancher, and for deploying Helm charts, Pulumi provides a package called@pulumi/kubernetes
which allows you to interact with Kubernetes resources, including Helm charts.Below is a TypeScript program that shows you how to deploy a Helm chart to a Kubernetes cluster managed by Rancher:
- Import the necessary Pulumi libraries.
- Create or select a Rancher cluster object.
- Use the
Helm.v3.Chart
class from@pulumi/kubernetes
to deploy thebytesafe-ce
Helm chart.
I will add comments throughout the code to explain what each part of the program is doing.
import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; import * as k8s from '@pulumi/kubernetes'; import * as rancher2 from '@pulumi/rancher2'; // Step 1: Set up a Rancher cluster object // You'll need to specify your Rancher cluster details. Replace the placeholders with your actual cluster information. const cluster = new rancher2.Cluster("<cluster-name>", { // Specify cluster configuration details here // For example: name: "<cluster-name>", // Other cluster-specific configurations go here... }); // Step 2: Deploy the bytesafe-ce Helm chart const chart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("bytesafe-ce-chart", { // Specify the chart repository and name chart: "bytesafe-ce", version: "<chart-version>", // specify the chart version fetchOpts: { repo: "https://helm.bytesafe.dev", }, // Specify the namespace where the chart should be deployed // If the namespace doesn't exist, it will be created namespace: "default", // Values for the chart can be specified within `values` as an object. // Below is an example where you may customize chart parameters. values: { // Customize your chart values here }, }, { provider: cluster }); // Deploy the Helm chart on the specified Rancher cluster // Export the URL or any other output you might need export const chartName = chart.metadata.name;
Some important things to note:
- Make sure to replace the
<cluster-name>
and<chart-version>
placeholders with actual values that correspond to your Rancher setup and the version of the Bytesafe CE chart you want to use. - The Helm chart repository URL
https://helm.bytesafe.dev
is used in this example for fetching the Bytesafe CE Helm chart. - The
values
section in the Helm chart definition allows you to supply any configuration parameters that are specific to thebytesafe-ce
Helm chart. In a real-world scenario, always check the chart's documentation for available configuration options. - The output
chartName
exports the name of the Helm deployment. You can export and track other useful information as needed.
To execute this program:
- Save the code to a file named
index.ts
. - Run
pulumi stack init
to create a new stack for your project if you haven't already. - Run
pulumi up
to preview and deploy the changes.
Remember to have Pulumi and the corresponding cloud provider CLI configured on your machine to authenticate with Rancher.
