WordPress Helm Chart in TypeScript

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

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

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.

$ 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:

pulumi destroy --skip-preview
