Publish a helm chart for Kubernetes installation

[sagikazarmark]

Are you planning to publish a helm chart for Tusd?

I'd be happy to create one for the project.

For a fully functioning helm chart you would also need a chart repository. If you are up for running one for yourself, then ChartMuseum is the official repository implementation. Otherwise I would humbly suggest using a hosted service published by Banzai Cloud (the company I work for): https://charts.banzaicloud.io/

As a last resort, I can offer hosting the chart in our chart repository: https://github.com/banzaicloud/banzai-charts

We have several third party projects hosting their charts there (like Cadence and Pomerium). (That would also have the advantage of appearing on Helm Hub)

One last concern regarding helm charts is releasing them. Helm charts are usually versioned independently from the main application. That means you either create a separate repo for charts and version them there or introduce a versioning schema, like chart/tusd/0.1.0 (and handle tags conditionally in CI).

Let me know what works for you.

To be frank, I have never used Helm before and it's the first time I have heard of Helm Charts, so I am not sure what benefits they provide or what makes it actually different than the Docker image.

However, since our core teams is not very experienced using these technologies, I don't think it's a great idea that we host it ourselves, but instead let the community fill in that gap. We would appreciate it a lot if you could take care of that, as you mentioned :)

Helm Chart is basically a "package" for Kubernetes manifests. It's not a container image, rather the deployment "scripts" to run that image in Kubernetes.

At it's core a Helm Chart is a set of templates and default values which you. can change to generate different Kubernetes manifests.

I'll come up with something then and post updates here.

Sure, looking forward to hearing from you 👍

@sagikazarmark are you still writing the answer or you simply forgot about this open issue? ;)

[sagikazarmark]

Yeah, I totally forgot about it. 😄 I can probably come up with something during the weekend if you need a chart.

[renepardon]

If you have something already that would be nice. Otherwise I’ll just create one by myself with helm create command.

@renepardon Here is an initial version: https://github.com/sagikazarmark/helm-charts/tree/master/charts/tusd

I'll make some changes around configuration to make it more safe, but it's a start: https://github.com/sagikazarmark/helm-charts/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Acharts%2Ftusd

@sagikazarmark looks a bit better than the default output of helm create 👍🏼

[sagikazarmark]

I think this is basically done. There is room for improvement, but the chart is functional and allows turning all the knobs of tusd.

Feel free to open issues: https://github.com/sagikazarmark/helm-charts/issues

@Acconut let me know if you want me to send a PR to the documentation linking this chart.
