Warehouse13 Helm Chart

Enterprise Test Artifact Storage - Kubernetes deployment via Helm

Overview

This Helm chart deploys the complete Warehouse13 stack on Kubernetes:

• PostgreSQL 15 - Metadata database
• MinIO - S3-compatible object storage
• FastAPI Backend - REST API server
• Angular Frontend - Web UI (nginx-served)

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.19+
• Helm 3.0+
• PV provisioner support (for persistent storage)

Installation

Quick Start

# Add the Warehouse13 chart repository (if published)
helm repo add warehouse13 https://charts.warehouse13.example.com
helm repo update

# Install with default values
helm install my-warehouse13 warehouse13/warehouse13

# Or install from local chart
helm install my-warehouse13 ./helm/warehouse13

Custom Installation

# Install with custom values
helm install my-warehouse13 ./helm/warehouse13 \
  --set postgres.persistence.size=20Gi \
  --set minio.persistence.size=100Gi \
  --set api.replicas=3

# Install in a specific namespace
helm install my-warehouse13 ./helm/warehouse13 \
  --namespace warehouse13 \
  --create-namespace

Configuration

Configurable Images

All component images can be customized via values.yaml or command-line flags:

postgres:
  image:
    repository: postgres
    tag: 15-alpine
    pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

minio:
  image:
    repository: minio/minio
    tag: latest
    pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

api:
  image:
    repository: warehouse13/api
    tag: latest
    pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

frontend:
  image:
    repository: warehouse13/frontend
    tag: latest
    pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

Example: Using custom image registry

Accessing the Application

Port Forwarding (Development)

# Access frontend
kubectl port-forward svc/warehouse13-frontend 4200:80

# Access API
kubectl port-forward svc/warehouse13-api 8000:8000

# Access MinIO console
kubectl port-forward svc/warehouse13-minio 9001:9001

# Then visit:
# - Frontend: http://localhost:4200
# - API: http://localhost:8000
# - MinIO Console: http://localhost:9001

Via Ingress (Production)

If ingress is enabled:

https://warehouse13.example.com

Upgrading

# Upgrade with new values
helm upgrade my-warehouse13 ./helm/warehouse13 \
  --set api.image.tag=v2.0.0 \
  --set frontend.image.tag=v2.0.0

# Upgrade with values file
helm upgrade my-warehouse13 ./helm/warehouse13 -f values-production.yaml

# Upgrade and wait for completion
helm upgrade my-warehouse13 ./helm/warehouse13 --wait --timeout 10m

Uninstalling

# Uninstall the release
helm uninstall my-warehouse13

# Note: PVCs are not deleted automatically. To delete them:
kubectl delete pvc -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=my-warehouse13

Backup and Restore

PostgreSQL Backup

# Create backup
kubectl exec -it warehouse13-postgres-0 -- pg_dump -U user datalake > backup.sql

# Restore
kubectl exec -i warehouse13-postgres-0 -- psql -U user datalake < backup.sql

MinIO Backup

# Install mc (MinIO Client)
# Configure mc alias
mc alias set w13 http://localhost:9001 minioadmin minioadmin

# Mirror bucket
mc mirror w13/artifacts ./backup/artifacts

# Restore
mc mirror ./backup/artifacts w13/artifacts

Troubleshooting

Check Pod Status

kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=warehouse13

View Logs

# API logs
kubectl logs -l app.kubernetes.io/component=api -f

# Frontend logs
kubectl logs -l app.kubernetes.io/component=frontend -f

# PostgreSQL logs
kubectl logs warehouse13-postgres-0 -f

# MinIO logs
kubectl logs warehouse13-minio-0 -f

Check Services

kubectl get svc -l app.kubernetes.io/name=warehouse13

Common Issues

Pods stuck in Pending

• Check PVC status: kubectl get pvc
• Verify storage class exists: kubectl get storageclass
• Check node resources: kubectl describe nodes

Database connection errors

• Verify postgres pod is running: kubectl get pod warehouse13-postgres-0
• Check database logs: kubectl logs warehouse13-postgres-0
• Verify secret exists: kubectl get secret warehouse13-secrets

Frontend cannot reach API

• Check ingress configuration: kubectl describe ingress warehouse13-ingress
• Verify API service: kubectl get svc warehouse13-api
• Check API pod health: kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/component=api

Security Considerations

Secrets Management

Default credentials are for development only! In production:

1. Use external secrets management:

   # Use sealed-secrets, external-secrets, or similar
   postgres:
     auth:
       username: "{{ .Values.externalSecrets.postgresUser }}"
       password: "{{ .Values.externalSecrets.postgresPassword }}"
   

2. Or create secrets manually:

   kubectl create secret generic warehouse13-secrets \
     --from-literal=postgres-username=secure-user \
     --from-literal=postgres-password=secure-password \
     --from-literal=minio-root-user=secure-minio-user \
     --from-literal=minio-root-password=secure-minio-password
   
   # Then install without default secrets
   helm install my-warehouse13 ./helm/warehouse13 --set createSecrets=false
   

3. Enable TLS:

   ingress:
     enabled: true
     annotations:
       cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "letsencrypt-prod"
     tls:
       - secretName: warehouse13-tls
         hosts:
           - warehouse13.example.com
