balloon Helm Chart
Prerequisites Details
- Kubernetes 1.9+
- PV support on the underlying infrastructure
Chart Details
This chart implements balloon with all necessary and optional features as sub charts. This charts includes the following sub charts:
- balloon server
- balloon server proxy
- balloon web ui
- balloon jobs
- browserless-chrome
The following sub charts get installed as dependencies from helm stable if enabled (which is the default):
- MongoDB replicaSet
- Elasticsearch
- ClamAV
- Collabora Code (Collab)
- Collabora Code (Document conversions)
balloon sub charts do not require persistent volumes however the balloon server is dependent on MongoDB and therefore a pv infrastructure is required which also applies to the optional elasticsearch integration.
Installing the Chart
To install the chart with the release name my-release:
helm repo add balloon-stable https://gyselroth.github.io/balloon-helm/stable
helm install balloon-stable/balloon --name my-release --namespace mynamespace
Example deployment with ingress/tls enabled and 200GB MongoDB/Elasticsearch storage:
helm install balloon-stable/balloon --name my-release --namespace mynamespace <br/>
--set balloon-proxy.ingress.enabled=true <br/>
--set balloon-web.ingress.enabled=true <br/>
--set balloon-proxy.ingress.host=balloon.local <br/>
--set balloon-web.ingress.host=balloon.local <br/>
--set balloon-web.ingress.tls[0].secretName=tls-balloon.local <br/>
--set balloon-proxy.ingress.tls[0].secretName=tls-balloon.local <br/>
--set balloon.url=https://balloon.local <br/>
--set mongodb.persistentVolume.size=200Gi <br/>
--set elasticsearch.data.persistence.size=75Gi <br/>
--set elasticsearch.data.replicas=3
The balloon should now be installed and available. You may authenticate using the default admin user:
Username: admin
Password: admin
