# Wordpress Helm Chart

A minimal Go Pulumi program

- Source on GitHub: https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/kubernetes-go-helm-wordpress

## Get started with this example

This example lives in the [pulumi/examples](https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/kubernetes-go-helm-wordpress) repo. Pull down just this directory to follow along:

```bash
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set kubernetes-go-helm-wordpress
cd pulumi-examples/kubernetes-go-helm-wordpress
```

Uses the Helm API of `pulumi-kubernetes` to deploy `v9.6.0` of the Wordpress Helm Chart to a
Kubernetes cluster. Pulumi will expand the Helm Chart and submit the expanded YAML to the cluster.

## Running the App

If you haven't already, follow the steps in [Pulumi Installation and
Setup](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/get-started/install/) and [Configuring Pulumi
Kubernetes](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/cloud-providers/kubernetes/setup/) to get set up with
Pulumi and Kubernetes.

Now, install dependencies:

```sh
go mod download
```

Create a new stack:

```sh
$ pulumi stack init
Enter a stack name: wordpress-dev
```

Preview the deployment of the application and the perform the deployment:

```sh
pulumi up
Previewing update (wordpress-dev)

```

We can see here in the `---outputs:---` section that Wordpress was allocated a public IP, in this
case `35.193.210.254`. It is exported with a stack output variable, `frontendIp`. We can use `curl`
and `grep` to retrieve the `<title>` of the site the proxy points at.

```sh
$ curl -sL $(pulumi stack output frontendIp):80 | grep "<title>"
<title>User&#039;s Blog! &#8211; Just another WordPress site</title>
```

You can also navigate to the site in a web browser.

When you're done, you can remove these resources with `pulumi destroy`:

```sh
pulumi destroy --skip-preview
