☸️🐳 Verdaccio Helm chart repository

Verdaccio

Verdaccio is a lightweight private NPM proxy registry.

TL;DR;

$ helm repo add verdaccio https://charts.verdaccio.org
$ helm repo update
$ helm install verdaccio/verdaccio

⚠️ If you are using stable/verdaccio chart, be aware is deprecated, forward all new PR and or issues to this repository.

If you need support for Helm v2, please use <=v0.19.0, be aware we do not support Helm v2 anymore.

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a Verdaccio deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.7+ with Beta APIs enabled
• PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

Installing the Chart

Add repository

helm repo add verdaccio https://charts.verdaccio.org

Install Verdaccio chart

In this example we use npm as release name:

# Helm v3+
helm install npm verdaccio/verdaccio

Deploy a specific version

# Helm v3+
helm install npm --set image.tag=4.6.2 verdaccio/verdaccio

Upgrading Verdaccio

helm upgrade npm verdaccio/verdaccio

The command deploys Verdaccio 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 npm deployment:

# Helm v3+
helm uninstall npm

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

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

Parameter	Description	Default
affinity	Affinity for pod assignment	{}
existingConfigMap	Name of custom ConfigMap to use	false
image.pullPolicy	Image pull policy	IfNotPresent
image.pullSecrets	Image pull secrets	[]
image.repository	Verdaccio container image repository	verdaccio/verdaccio
image.tag	Verdaccio container image tag	4.12.0
nodeSelector	Node labels for pod assignment	{}
tolerations	List of node taints to tolerate	[]
persistence.accessMode	PVC Access Mode for Verdaccio volume	ReadWriteOnce
persistence.enabled	Enable persistence using PVC	true
persistence.existingClaim	Use existing PVC	nil
persistence.mounts	Additional mounts	nil
persistence.size	PVC Storage Request for Verdaccio volume	8Gi
persistence.storageClass	PVC Storage Class for Verdaccio volume	nil
persistence.selector	Selector to match an existing Persistent Volume	{} (evaluated as a template)
persistence.volumes	Additional volumes	nil
podLabels	Additional pod labels	{} (evaluated as a template)
podAnnotations	Annotations to add to each pod	{}
priorityClass.enabled	Enable specifying pod priorityClassName	false
priorityClass.name	PriorityClassName to be specified in pod spec	""
replicaCount	Desired number of pods	1
resources	CPU/Memory resource requests/limits	{}
service.annotations	Annotations to add to service	none
service.clusterIP	IP address to assign to service	""
service.externalIPs	Service external IP addresses	[]
service.loadBalancerIP	IP address to assign to load balancer (if supported)	""
service.loadBalancerSourceRanges	List of IP CIDRs allowed access to load balancer (if supported)	[]
service.port	Service port to expose	4873
service.nodePort	Service port to expose	none
service.type	Type of service to create	ClusterIP
serviceAccount.create	Create service account	false
serviceAccount.name	Service account Name	none
extraEnvVars	Define environment variables to be passed to the container	{}

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

# Helm v3+
$ helm install my-release \
  --set service.type=LoadBalancer \
    verdaccio/verdaccio

The above command sets the service type LoadBalancer.

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

# Helm v3+
$ helm install npm -f values.yaml verdaccio/verdaccio

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml

Custom ConfigMap

When creating a new chart with this chart as a dependency, CustomConfigMap can be used to override the default config.yaml provided. It also allows for providing additional configuration files that will be copied into /verdaccio/conf. In the parent chart's values.yaml, set the value to true and provide the file templates/config.yaml for your use case.

Persistence

The Verdaccio image stores persistence under /verdaccio/storage path of the container. A dynamically managed Persistent Volume Claim is used to keep the data across deployments, by default. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube. Alternatively, a previously configured Persistent Volume Claim can be used.

It is possible to mount several volumes using Persistence.volumes and Persistence.mounts parameters.

Existing PersistentVolumeClaim

1. Create the PersistentVolume
2. Create the PersistentVolumeClaim
3. Install the chart

# Helm v3+
$ helm install npm \
    --set persistence.existingClaim=PVC_NAME \
    verdaccio/verdaccio
