Host Sysreptor on Kubernetes?

[ahmedzak97]

I was wondering if you have a guide to deploy SysReptor on kubernetes(GKE cluster ) , if you have manifest files or a ready helm chart , that would be really useful, and expose if via k8s ingress or loadbalancer

Hi,
This is possible. We, however, don't officially support it and haven't made such a setup.
There are some customers who did this. @mlec1 agreed to provide you some information about their setup.

Hi, we host it on kubernetes:
We have a staging env with the community edition:

staging.txt
Our secrets contain the following keys:

secret-staging.txt

For the prod, we have the pro version. The only difference, we have the language tool as deployment too.

prod.txt

Our secret contains the following keys:
secret-prod.txt

We use an Ingress to access the services. We have currently Traefik as Ingress Controller, but you can the one of your choice. We will switch to Gateways a bit later when InGate is getting more popular and mature.

The database is based on the Zalando Operator: https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator
We have planned to switch to the Cloud Native Postgres Operator later.

When I have time, I want to create a helm chart from scratch based on our current Manifest files. But didn't have time so far.

Hi @ahmedzak97,

I noticed that recently on our sysreptor instance, the periodic tasks were not triggered.
I opened the ticket #531 and it turns out, we were missing a readinessProbe in our manifest to trigger the periodic tasks:

I tried to adapt the healthcheck from the docker compose file

sysreptor/deploy/sysreptor/docker-compose.yml

Line 64 in 8e93486

healthcheck:

Which gives me that

          readinessProbe:
            exec:
              command:
                - curl
                - '-f'
                - http://localhost:8000/api/public/utils/healthcheck/
            initialDelaySeconds: 10
            periodSeconds: 30
            timeoutSeconds: 30
            failureThreshold: 5

Just wanted to let you know in case you don't have it either.
