Flatpress Helm Chart

This Helm chart deploys the Flatpress web application in Kubernetes.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.16+
• Helm 3.0+

Installing the Chart

To install the chart from a Helm repository, add the repository to your Helm installation:

helm repo add flatpress https://inputobject2.github.io/flatpress-docker

Then, to install the chart with the release name flatpress, use the following command:

helm install flatpress flatpress/flatpress

This will create a Deployment and a Service to expose the Flatpress application, as well as a PersistentVolumeClaim to persist the fp-content data.

Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the Flatpress chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
deployment.name	Deployment name	flatpress
deployment.replicas	Number of replicas	3
deployment.annotations	Deployment annotations	{}
deployment.labels	Deployment labels	{ app: flatpress }
deployment.podAnnotations	Pod annotations	{}
deployment.tolerations	Pod tolerations	[]
deployment.image	Docker image for the Flatpress application	example/flatpress:latest
ingress.enabled	Enable Ingress resource	false
ingress.hostname	Hostname for the Ingress resource	flatpress.example.com
ingress.annotations	Ingress annotations	{}
persistence.enabled	Enable persistente volume claime	false

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example, to specify the number of replicas and the hostname for the Ingress resource:

helm install flatpress flatpress/flatpress --set deployment.replicas=5,ingress.hostname=flatpress.mydomain.com

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example:

helm install flatpress flatpress/flatpress -f values.yaml

Docker Image

The Docker image for the Flatpress application is built from the Dockerfile included in this repository. The image is built in multiple stages to minimize the size of the final image.

To build the image, run the following command from the root of the repository:

docker build -t example/flatpress:latest .

This will build the Docker image and tag it as example/flatpress:latest.

Upgrading

To upgrade the chart, use the helm upgrade command:

helm upgrade flatpress flatpress/flatpress

Uninstalling

To uninstall the chart, use the helm uninstall command:

helm uninstall flatpress

This will delete the Deployment, Service, and PersistentVolumeClaim resources created by the chart. It will not delete the Docker image or the data in the fp-content volume.
