Kubernetes Helm Chart

This page explains the steps required to setup Parseable (in S3 or Local mode) on Kubernetes via Helm.

Prerequisites

• kubectl and helm installed and configured to point to relevant Kubernetes clusters.

Setup Parseable with Local Storage

Create configuration secret

Create a secret file with the configuration for Parseable.

Copycat << EOF > parseable-env-secret
addr=0.0.0.0:8000
staging.dir=./staging
fs.dir=./data
username=admin
password=admin
EOF

Then create the secret in Kubernetes.

Copykubectl create ns parseable
kubectl create secret generic parseable-env-secret --from-env-file=parseable-env-secret -n parseable

Install Parseable

Copyhelm repo add parseable https://charts.parseable.com
helm install parseable parseable/parseable -n parseable --set "parseable.local=true"
kubectl port-forward svc/parseable 8000:80 -n parseable

You should now be able to point your browser to http://localhost:8000 and see the Parseable login page. You can login with the values set in the username and password fields in the parseable-env-secret file above.

Setup Parseable with S3 Storage

Setup object store

This step is required only if you want to setup MinIO as the backend for Parseable. Please skip this step if you have another object store, like S3, already available.

Copyhelm repo add minio https://charts.min.io/
helm install --namespace minio --create-namespace --set "buckets[0].name=parseable,buckets[0].policy=none,buckets[0].purge=false,rootUser=minioadmin,rootPassword=minioadmin,replicas=1,persistence.enabled=false,resources.requests.memory=128Mi,mode=standalone" minio minio/minio
kubectl port-forward svc/minio-console -n minio 9001:9001

You can now access the MinIO console on http://localhost:9001. You should see a bucket called parseable created.

Create configuration secret

Create a secret file with the configuration for Parseable. Note that the values set below are based on the MinIO installation above. If you are using a different object store, please update the values accordingly.

Copycat << EOF > parseable-env-secret
s3.url=http://minio.minio.svc.cluster.local:9000
s3.access.key=minioadmin
s3.secret.key=minioadmin
s3.region=us-east-1
s3.bucket=parseable
addr=0.0.0.0:8000
staging.dir=./staging
fs.dir=./data
username=admin
password=admin
EOF

Then create the secret in Kubernetes.

Copykubectl create ns parseable
kubectl create secret generic parseable-env-secret --from-env-file=parseable-env-secret -n parseable

Install Parseable

Copyhelm repo add parseable https://charts.parseable.com
helm install parseable parseable/parseable -n parseable
kubectl port-forward svc/parseable 8000:80 -n parseable

You should now be able to point your browser to http://localhost:8000 and see the Parseable login page. You can login with the values set in username and password fieldx in the parseable-env-secret file above.
