Deploy the Passbolt-Ha Helm Chart on TypeScriptogle Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

Introduction

In this guide, we will deploy the Passbolt High Availability (HA) Helm chart on a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster using Pulumi with TypeScript. Passbolt is an open-source password manager designed for team collaboration. The HA setup ensures that the application remains available and resilient to failures.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Set Up GKE Cluster

1. Create a new Pulumi project: Initialize a new Pulumi project if you don’t have one already.
2. Configure GCP provider: Ensure that you have the GCP provider configured with the necessary credentials.
3. Create GKE cluster: Define and create a GKE cluster in your Pulumi program.

Step 2: Deploy Passbolt HA Helm Chart

1. Add Helm Chart repository: Ensure that the Helm chart repository for Passbolt is added.
2. Deploy Helm Chart: Use the @pulumi/kubernetes package to deploy the Passbolt HA Helm chart to the GKE cluster.

Step 3: Verify Deployment

1. Check resources: Verify that the Kubernetes resources have been created successfully.
2. Access Passbolt: Obtain the external IP address of the Passbolt service and access the application.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you have successfully deployed the Passbolt HA Helm chart on a GKE cluster using Pulumi with TypeScript. This setup ensures high availability and resilience for your Passbolt deployment.

Full Code Example

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as gcp from "@pulumi/gcp";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Create a GKE cluster
const cluster = new gcp.container.Cluster("gke-cluster", {
    initialNodeCount: 3,
    minMasterVersion: "latest",
    nodeVersion: "latest",
    nodeConfig: {
        machineType: "n1-standard-1",
        oauthScopes: [
            "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform",
        ],
    },
});

// Export the Kubeconfig
export const kubeconfig = pulumi.secret(cluster.endpoint.apply(endpoint =>
    \`apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: \${cluster.masterAuth.clusterCaCertificate}
    server: https://\${endpoint}
  name: gke-cluster
contexts:
- context:
    cluster: gke-cluster
    user: gke-cluster
  name: gke-cluster
current-context: gke-cluster
kind: Config
preferences: {}
users:
- name: gke-cluster
  user:
    auth-provider:
      config:
        cmd-args: config config-helper --format=json
        cmd-path: gcloud
      name: gcp
\`));

// Create a Kubernetes provider instance using the cluster's kubeconfig
const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider("k8sProvider", {
    kubeconfig: kubeconfig,
});

// Deploy the Passbolt HA Helm chart
const passbolt = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart("passbolt-ha", {
    chart: "passbolt",
    version: "1.0.0", // Specify the version of the Passbolt Helm chart
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: "https://charts.passbolt.com",
    },
    values: {
        // Specify any custom values for the Passbolt Helm chart here
    },
}, { provider: k8sProvider });

// Export the external IP address of the Passbolt service
export const passboltServiceIP = passbolt.getResource("v1/Service", "passbolt-ha-passbolt").status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip;
