Deploy the sonarqube-scanner helm chart on Rancher

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To deploy the SonarQube Scanner Helm chart on Rancher using Pulumi, you'll need to interact with Rancher's Kubernetes management features. We'll assume you have a Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster available and have set up your kubeconfig accordingly to interact with that cluster. SonarQube Scanner is not typically a standalone Helm chart, but rather a part of the SonarQube Helm chart, which deploys the SonarQube server and auxiliary services. Make sure the SonarQube Helm chart contains the scanner as part of its deployment, or that you have the correct Helm chart for the SonarQube Scanner.

For this task, we will use the Pulumi Rancher 2 provider to manage Kubernetes resources. Here are the steps:

1. Import the `rancher2` package into your Pulumi program.
2. Use the `rancher2:app/v2:App` resource to deploy a Helm chart to your cluster.
3. Provide the details for your Helm chart, including the name of the chart (`sonarqube`), the version, and any necessary values that need to be overridden.

Below you'll find a program that demonstrates how to perform these steps in Pulumi with TypeScript. This program doesn't have any actual "SonarQube Scanner" Helm chart because it typically doesn't exist separately from the main SonarQube Helm chart. If you have a custom Helm chart for SonarQube Scanner, you can use its name and repository URL instead.

Be sure that you are logged in to your Pulumi account and have the necessary cloud credentials set up before running this code.

```typescript
import * as rancher2 from "@pulumi/rancher2";

// Define configuration options
const projectName = "your-rancher-project-name";
const namespaceName = "sonarqube-scanner-namespace";
const helmChartName = "sonarqube";
const helmChartVersion = "x.x.x"; // replace with the specific chart version
const rancherClusterId = "your-rancher-cluster-id"; // replace with your cluster ID

// Create a new Rancher2 project
const project = new rancher2.Project(projectName, {
    clusterId: rancherClusterId,
    name: projectName,
});

// Create a namespace in the project
const namespace = new rancher2.Namespace(namespaceName, {
    projectId: project.id,
    name: namespaceName,
});

// Deploy the SonarQube Helm chart to the cluster within the created namespace
const sonarqubeChart = new rancher2.AppV2("sonar-scanner-app", {
    namespaceId: namespace.id,
    projectId: project.id,
    repoName: "helm", // This would be the name of the Helm repository
    chartName: helmChartName,
    chartVersion: helmChartVersion,
    values: `# Here we would insert any necessary or custom values for the chart, formatted as a multi-line string`,
}, { dependsOn: [namespace] });

// Export the name of the chart app, which can be used to check deployment status
export const sonarqubeChartName = sonarqubeChart.name;
```

Replace `"x.x.x"` with the version of the SonarQube Helm chart that you intend to use. Also, make sure to input the correct Rancher project name, namespace, and cluster ID for your specific setup.

This is a very generic explanation without knowing the specifics of the Helm chart you're deploying. The `values` property within the `rancher2.AppV2` allows you to customize your SonarQube installation by providing custom values as you would via helm's `values.yaml` file.

Please adjust the provided values according to your Helm chart's requirements. You usually obtain these from the chart's documentation or its `values.yaml` file contained in the chart itself.
