Drupal
Drupal is one of the most versatile open source content management systems on the market.
TL;DR;
$ helm install drupal-x.x.x.tgz
Introduction
This chart bootstraps a Drupal deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.
It also packages the Bitnami MariaDB chart which is required for bootstrapping a MariaDB deployment for the database requirements of the Drupal application.
Prerequisites
- Kubernetes 1.3+ with Alpha APIs enabled
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
Get this chart
Download the latest release of the chart from the releases page.
Alternatively, clone the repo if you wish to use the development snapshot:
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/charts.git
Installing the Chart
To install the chart with the release name my-release:
$ helm install --name my-release drupal-x.x.x.tgz
Replace the x.x.x placeholder with the chart release version.
The command deploys Drupal on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.
Tip
: List all releases using
helm list
Uninstalling the Chart
To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:
$ helm delete my-release
The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
Configuration
The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the Drupal chart and their default values.
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
image |
Drupal image | bitnami/drupal:{VERSION} |
imagePullPolicy |
Image pull policy | Always if image tag is latest, else IfNotPresent |
drupalUsername |
User of the application | user |
drupalPassword |
Application password | bitnami |
drupalEmail |
Admin email | user@example.com |
mariadb.mariadbRootPassword |
MariaDB admin password | nil |
serviceType |
Kubernetes Service type | LoadBalancer |
persistence.enabled |
Enable persistence using PVC | true |
persistence.apache.storageClass |
PVC Storage Class for Apache volume | generic |
persistence.apache.accessMode |
PVC Access Mode for Apache volume | ReadWriteOnce |
persistence.apache.size |
PVC Storage Request for Apache volume | 1Gi |
persistence.drupal.storageClass |
PVC Storage Class for Drupal volume | generic |
persistence.drupal.accessMode |
PVC Access Mode for Drupal volume | ReadWriteOnce |
persistence.drupal.size |
PVC Storage Request for Drupal volume | 8Gi |
The above parameters map to the env variables defined in bitnami/drupal. For more information please refer to the bitnami/drupal image documentation.
Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,
$ helm install --name my-release \
--set drupalUsername=admin,drupalPassword=password,mariadb.mariadbRootPassword=secretpassword \
drupal-x.x.x.tgz
The above command sets the Drupal administrator account username and password to admin and password respectively. Additionally it sets the MariaDB root user password to secretpassword.
Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml drupal-x.x.x.tgz
Tip
: You can use the default values.yaml
Persistence
The Bitnami Drupal image stores the Drupal data and configurations at the /bitnami/drupal and /bitnami/apache paths of the container.
Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube. See the Configuration section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.
