Governify Helm Charts

Installation

Governify Kubernetes implementation consists in a set of services embedded in Helm charts, which are used by infrastructure charts as dependencies in order to deploy each system with custom configuration.

Production

1. Create Namespace

$    kubectl create namespace <namespace>

2. Install Contour

$    kubectl apply -f https://projectcontour.io/quickstart/contour.yaml

3. Wait a few minutes and get the Load Balancer IP Address

$    (kubectl get -n projectcontour service envoy -o json) | jq -r '.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip'

4. Install CertManager

$    kubectl apply -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.1.0/cert-manager.yaml

5. Create a values.yaml file with the following content

    global:
        node_env: production
        gov_infrastructure: <assets_call_to_infrastructure.yaml>
        services_prefix: .<infrastructure-prefix>
        dns_suffix: .<your-DNS-zone>
        login_user: <username>
        login_password: <password>
    
    assets_manager:
        assets_repository: <repository_url>
        assets_repository_branch: <branch>
        private_key: test-key

6. Install charts

$    helm repo add governify https://governify.github.io/helm-charts
$    helm repo update
$    helm install -f values.yaml <release_name> governify/<chart_name>

Development - local

1. Create Namespace

$    kubectl create namespace <namespace>

2. Configure kubernetes for assigning NodePorts in range (3000-9000) by adding --service-node-port-range=3000-6000 to the kubernetes kube-apiserver config file. If using docker-desktop check this page.

3. Create a values.yaml file with the following content

    global:
        node_env: development
        gov_infrastructure: <assets_call_to_infrastructure-local.yaml>
        login_user: <username>
        login_password: <password>

    assets-manager:
        gov_infrastructure: <local_path_to_infrastructure-local.yaml>
        assets_repository: <repository_url> (defaults to current assets repository inside github governify organization)
        assets_repository_branch: <branch> (default: main)

4. Install charts

$    helm repo add governify https://governify.github.io/helm-charts
$    helm repo update
$    helm install -f values.yaml <release_name> governify/<chart_name>
