Deploy the suitecrm helm chart on Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the SuiteCRM Helm Chart on Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service, we will follow these steps:

1. Create a Kubernetes cluster in Digital Ocean.
2. Deploy the Helm chart for SuiteCRM onto the Kubernetes cluster.

Here's how you would accomplish this using Pulumi and TypeScript:

Firstly, make sure you have set up Pulumi and the Digital Ocean provider. You’ll need to have your Digital Ocean access token ready.

Then, we will begin by creating a new Kubernetes cluster on Digital Ocean using the `digitalocean.KubernetesCluster` resource. After the cluster is created, we will deploy the SuiteCRM Helm Chart using the `kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart` resource from the Kubernetes provider.

Here's the TypeScript program that performs this deployment:

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

// Step 1: Create a new Kubernetes cluster in Digital Ocean
const cluster = new digitalocean.KubernetesCluster("suitecrm-cluster", {
    region: "nyc1", // Choose the region that is closest to your users
    version: "1.21.5-do.0", // Kubernetes version
    nodePool: {
        name: "worker-pool",
        size: "s-2vcpu-2gb", // Choose the size of the droplet
        nodeCount: 2, // Number of nodes in the node pool
    },
});

// Step 2: Setup the Kubernetes provider to connect to the DigitalOcean cluster
const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("do-k8s", {
    kubeconfig: cluster.kubeConfigs[0].rawConfig,
});

// Step 3: Deploy the SuiteCRM Helm chart
const suitecrmChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("suitecrm", {
    chart: "suitecrm",
    version: "10.3.3", // Replace with the desired version of the SuiteCRM chart
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami", // The repository where the SuiteCRM chart is located
    },
}, { provider: k8sProvider });

// Export the public IP of the Kubernetes cluster
export const kubeClusterEndpoint = cluster.endpoint;

// Export the Kubernetes cluster name
export const kubeClusterName = cluster.name;
```

### What's happening in this program:

- We import the necessary Pulumi packages.
- We create a Kubernetes cluster using the `digitalocean.KubernetesCluster` resource with a specified region (e.g., "nyc1"), version, and droplet size for the worker pool.
- We initialize the `k8s.Provider` with the kubeconfig from the created cluster, which allows us to communicate with our Kubernetes cluster.
- We deploy SuiteCRM using the Helm chart published by Bitnami, specifying the chart name and version. The chart is fetched from Bitnami's Helm chart repository.

You can run this program using the Pulumi CLI with the following commands:

- `pulumi up` to preview and deploy the changes.
- Since we have exported the endpoint and cluster name, you can see them in the output of the `pulumi up` command.

Please ensure you have installed the Pulumi CLI and set up your Digital Ocean token as per instructions on Pulumi’s documentation. Then you can run the above TypeScript code with Pulumi to create the Kubernetes cluster and deploy SuiteCRM on it.
