Deploy the vehicle-dashboard helm chart on Rancher
TypeScriptTo deploy a Helm chart on Rancher using Pulumi, you will need to interact with Rancher's Kubernetes management capabilities. The code below will guide you through setting up a Rancher 2 Kubernetes cluster and deploying a Helm chart to it.
First, ensure you have installed the Pulumi CLI and have authenticated with your Rancher installation. You will also need to ensure that you have the Rancher 2 provider configured within your Pulumi program.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of what the Pulumi program will do:
- Set up a new Rancher 2 Kubernetes cluster or reference an existing one.
- Deploy the
vehicle-dashboard
Helm chart to the specified cluster.
Before you run the Pulumi program, you must have the
vehicle-dashboard
chart available in a repository that the Rancher cluster can access.The following TypeScript program accomplishes this:
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as rancher2 from "@pulumi/rancher2"; import * as kubernetes from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Create a new Rancher 2 cluster or use an existing one. const cluster = new rancher2.Cluster("vehicle-dashboard-cluster", { // Provide the necessary properties for your cluster here // e.g., rancher2KubernetesEngineConfig, name, description, etc. }); // Once your cluster is set up, configure Pulumi to use the cluster's kubeconfig. const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig.apply(JSON.stringify); const provider = new kubernetes.Provider("vehicle-dashboard-provider", { kubeconfig: kubeconfig, }); // Deploy the 'vehicle-dashboard' Helm chart to the cluster. const vehicleDashboardChart = new kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart("vehicle-dashboard", { chart: "vehicle-dashboard", // Assuming the Helm chart is hosted in a repository, provide repository URL // You would also specify the namespace and possibly other options as appropriate. fetchOpts: { repo: "http://charts.example.com/", }, }, { provider: provider }); // Export the base URL of the 'vehicle-dashboard' service. export const vehicleDashboardUrl = vehicleDashboardChart.getResourceProperty( "v1/Service", "vehicle-dashboard", "status" ).apply(status => status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip || status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname);
In the above program:
- Replace the placeholders in the
Cluster
object with the actual configuration that matches your Rancher setup. - The kubeconfig of the cluster is used to create a Kubernetes provider. The Rancher 2 cluster must be completely ready and kubeconfig should be accessible.
- The
Chart
resource from the@pulumi/kubernetes
package is used to deploy the 'vehicle-dashboard' Helm chart, specifying the chart name and repository URL. - After creating the service for the vehicle-dashboard, we're exporting a publicly accessible URL.
Please modify the chart properties and cluster configuration according to your 'vehicle-dashboard' Helm chart specifications and your Rancher cluster details. Make sure to use the correct repository where your 'vehicle-dashboard' Helm chart is stored.
After writing the above program, save it to a file, say
index.ts
. To deploy this program:- Navigate to the directory containing your
index.ts
file in the terminal. - Run
pulumi up
and Pulumi will execute the code to set up your Rancher cluster and deploy the 'vehicle-dashboard' Helm chart to it.
Please replace placeholders and provide actual values that match your configuration before running the program.
