1. Deploy the nuxt2-spa helm chart on Rancher

    TypeScript

    To deploy a Helm chart on Rancher, you would typically follow these general steps:

    1. Set up your Rancher environment where you'll be deploying the chart. This includes creating or configuring a Kubernetes cluster managed by Rancher, setting up access controls, and getting the kubectl CLI configured to interact with your cluster.

    2. Locate or prepare your Helm chart. For the nuxt2-spa, you might find a pre-existing chart or create your own. Helm charts are packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources.

    3. Install the Helm chart using either the Rancher UI or the helm CLI tool which must be configured to interact with the Rancher-managed cluster.

    With Pulumi, you can automate the deployment process with infrastructure as code. The TypeScript program below represents a basic way to deploy a Helm chart to a Kubernetes cluster managed by Rancher. Note that it assumes:

    • You have access to a Rancher-managed Kubernetes cluster.
    • You have the Helm chart for nuxt2-spa available.
    • Pulumi and the necessary provider packages are installed and configured.

    I'll demonstrate using an example Helm chart called nuxt2-spa. Please replace the placeholders with actual values from your Helm chart and Rancher setup.

    import * as rancher2 from "@pulumi/rancher2"; import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; // Initialize a Rancher2 provider instance using the environment variables for access. const rancher2Provider = new rancher2.Provider("rancher2", { apiUrl: "https://your-rancher-api-url.com/v3", accessKey: "your-access-key", secretKey: "your-secret-key" }); // Refer to an existing Rancher2 cluster where you want to deploy your Helm chart. const cluster = rancher2.Cluster.get("existing-cluster", "cluster-id"); // Set up the Kubernetes provider to deploy the Helm chart. // This provider uses the kubeconfig from the referenced Rancher2 cluster. const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("kube-provider", { kubeconfig: cluster.kubeConfig }); // Deploy the nuxt2-spa Helm chart to the Rancher-managed cluster. const nuxt2Chart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("nuxt2-spa-chart", { chart: "nuxt2-spa", version: "your-chart-version", // specify the chart version namespace: "default", // specify the namespace if not default // Values to configure the Nuxt2 SPA. Replace these with your actual values. values: { key: "value", // other values required by the chart }, }, { provider: k8sProvider }); // Export the URL of the deployed application. // Replace `service` with the actual service of your Nuxt application. export const appUrl = nuxt2Chart.getResourceProperty("v1/Service", "nuxt2-service", "status") .apply(status => `http://${status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}`);

    Explanation:

    • Rancher2 Provider: Sets up a Pulumi provider for Rancher2 resources. Requires API URL and credentials that can be provided as environment variables or directly through the program for simplicity.

    • Cluster Reference: Uses the Pulumi @pulumi/rancher2 module to refer to an existing cluster. Replace "cluster-id" with your actual Rancher2 cluster ID.

    • Kubernetes Provider: Sets up a Pulumi provider for deploying resources to the Kubernetes cluster managed by Rancher (retrieved through kubeConfig of the cluster resource).

    • Helm Chart Deployment: This component deploys the nuxt2-spa Helm chart using Pulumi's @pulumi/kubernetes module. Replace the chart, version, namespace, and values with suitable values for your chart.

    • Exporting the Application URL: After deploying the chart, this exports the external IP assigned to your nuxt2-spa service so you can access it. Adjust "nuxt2-service" to match the name of your service.

    Please replace placeholder values with actual values required for your setup. The chart name, version, namespace, and values should match what's needed for the nuxt2-spa Helm chart.

    This program is a starting point, and depending on the complexities of your Rancher environment and the nuxt2-spa Helm chart, you might need to customize the configuration further.
