Deploy the saleor-helm helm chart on Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service
TypeScriptTo deploy the Saleor Helm chart on DigitalOcean Kubernetes Service (DOKS), we will follow the steps below:
- Set up a DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster: We'll first create a DOKS cluster where our Saleor application will live.
- Deploy the Helm Chart: Once we have our Kubernetes cluster, we will deploy the Saleor Helm chart into the cluster.
Prerequisites
Before you run the Pulumi program make sure you have the following:
- Pulumi CLI installed.
- DigitalOcean API token configured with Pulumi using the command
pulumi config set digitalocean:token YOUR_TOKEN_HERE --secret
. - Helm CLI installed to fetch charts.
- kubectl CLI installed to interact with Kubernetes.
Pulumi Program
Below is a TypeScript Pulumi program that illustrates how to create a Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean and then deploy the Saleor Helm chart into that cluster. Make sure to replace placeholders like
<Your Saleor Helm Chart Version>
with actual values.import * as digitalocean from "@pulumi/digitalocean"; import * as kubernetes from "@pulumi/kubernetes"; // Step 1: Create a DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster const cluster = new digitalocean.KubernetesCluster("do-cluster", { region: "nyc1", version: "1.21.5-do.0", nodePool: { size: "s-2vcpu-2gb", nodeCount: 2, }, }); // Export the Kubernetes config to access the cluster using `kubectl`. export const kubeConfig = cluster.kubeConfigs[0].rawConfig; // Step 2: Deploy Saleor Helm Chart to the DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster const saleorChart = new kubernetes.helm.v3.Chart("saleor-helm-chart", { namespace: "default", chart: "saleor", version: "<Your Saleor Helm Chart Version>", fetchOpts: { repo: "https://charts.saleor.com/", }, }, { provider: new kubernetes.Provider("k8s-provider", { kubeconfig: kubeConfig }) }); // Export the Helm chart resources. export const saleorChartResources = saleorChart.resources;
Explanation
Here's what each part of the program does:
-
DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster: We create a Kubernetes cluster named
do-cluster
on DigitalOcean. We specify the region asnyc1
, set the Kubernetes version, and define a node pool with specific CPU and memory configurations. -
Exporting
kubeConfig
: We export the raw Kubernetes config to connect to the cluster. This config can be used bykubectl
or any Kubernetes client to interact with the cluster. -
Saleor Helm Chart: We define a Helm chart resource. This will tell Pulumi to deploy the
saleor
Helm chart with the specified version. ThefetchOpts
property includes the repository URL where the chart is located. -
Helm Provider with
kubeconfig
: We create a Kubernetes provider to interact with the cluster. We pass thekubeconfig
we exported from our DigitalOcean cluster. -
Exporting Saleor Chart Resources: We export the resources defined by the Saleor Helm chart so you can see the details of the Kubernetes resources that were created.
Using the Program
To use this program, save it as
index.ts
in a Pulumi project directory. Then, runpulumi up
to create the cluster and deploy Saleor. After the deployment, Pulumi will output the resources that were created. You can usekubectl
with the exportedkubeConfig
to manage your Kubernetes cluster and applications.Remember to replace placeholders in the code with the correct values, such as the version of the Saleor Helm chart.
