Deploy the mysql-exporter helm chart on Rancher
TypeScriptTo deploy the
mysql-exporter
Helm chart on Rancher using Pulumi, you'll need to perform the following steps:- Set up the Pulumi project and stack.
- Install the dependencies, such as Pulumi Rancher2 and Helm providers.
- Configure the Rancher2 provider to communicate with your Rancher instance.
- Retrieve the cluster where you wish to deploy the Helm chart.
- Use the Helm provider to deploy the
mysql-exporter
chart onto the cluster managed by Rancher.
Below is an example of a Pulumi program written in TypeScript that demonstrates how to deploy the
mysql-exporter
Helm chart on Rancher:import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as rancher2 from "@pulumi/rancher2"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Step 1: Initialize the Pulumi project and stack by creating a new project and stack // Step 2: Configuring the Rancher2 provider const rancher2Provider = new rancher2.Provider("rancherProvider", { // Provide the necessary credentials and endpoint to connect to your Rancher server apiToken: "your-rancher-api-token", apiUrl: "https://your-rancher-instance/v3", }); // Step 3: Retrieving a cluster in Rancher const cluster = rancher2.getCluster({ name: "your-cluster-name", }, { provider: rancher2Provider }); // Step 4: Deploying the `mysql-exporter` Helm chart using the Helm provider // Assume that you have configured a KubernetesProvider here using the kubeconfig // for the cluster retrieved in the previous step const helmProvider = new k8s.Provider("helmProvider", { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeConfig, // Use the kubeconfig from the obtained cluster }); // Use the cluster.kubeConfig in the Helm chart deployment provider option const mysqlExporterChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart( "mysql-exporter", { chart: "mysql-exporter", version: "1.0.0", // replace with the version you want to deploy fetchOpts:{ repo: "http://helm-repository-url/", // replace with the URL of your Helm chart repository }, }, { provider: helmProvider } ); // Export the URL for the mysql-exporter service (if applicable) export const mysqlExporterServiceUrl = pulumi.interpolate`http://${cluster.clusterDomain}:${ mysqlExporterChart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "mysql-exporter-service", "spec").apply(spec => spec.ports[0].port)}/metrics`;
This program initializes the Pulumi stack, sets up the Rancher2 and Kubernetes (Helm) providers, retrieves the desired Rancher cluster, and deploys the
mysql-exporter
Helm chart to that cluster.Here's a step-by-step explanation:
- We begin by initializing the Rancher2 provider with the necessary API token and endpoint to connect to our Rancher server.
- Next, we retrieve the details of the cluster we wish to deploy the chart to. This example assumes you have a specific cluster in mind named
"your-cluster-name"
. - The
rancher2.getCluster
function is used to fetch the kubeConfig for that cluster. - We then create an instance of the Kubernetes (Helm) provider using the kubeConfig from our Rancher-managed cluster.
- Using this Helm provider, we define a Pulumi Helm Chart resource that deploys the
mysql-exporter
chart from the specified repository. - Finally, we export the URL at which the
mysql-exporter
metrics service can be accessed, if applicable.
Before running this program, replace placeholder values such as
your-rancher-api-token
,https://your-rancher-instance/v3
,your-cluster-name
,1.0.0
, andhttp://helm-repository-url/
with the actual values corresponding to your environment.Once this program is run with
pulumi up
, themysql-exporter
Helm chart will be deployed on the specified cluster within your Rancher instance.
