This repository contains the Helm chart as well as detailed instructions for deploying the Switchboard Kubernetes operator. Please read through the main repository's README to understand how Switchboard works.
Since Switchboard processes Traefik CRDs, you must make sure that your Kubernetes cluster has all Traefik v2 CRDs installed.
Depending on the integrations that you want to enable, you further need to have the following components installed:
- cert-manager integration: Requires cert-manager and its CRDs to be
installed. Can optionally be done by setting
cert-manager.install = true
in this chart. - external-dns integration: Requires
external-dns along with its
DNSEndpoint
CRD installed. Can optionally be done by settingexternal-dns.install = true
in this chart.
Switchboard can be installed with Helm version >= 3.7.0
. For Helm version < 3.8.0
, you need to
set HELM_EXPERIMENTAL_OCI=1
. Then you can install the chart directly with the following command:
helm install switchboard oci://ghcr.io/borchero/charts/switchboard
By default, this installs Switchboard with no integrations enabled, i.e. it will not create any
resources. Integrations can be enabled by setting integrations.<name>.enabled
to true
. Consult
the configuration options to check which integrations you want to enable.
Note: You can check your Helm version via helm version
.
The following lists all values that may be set when installing this chart (see
values.yaml
for a more structured overview):
Key | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
cert-manager.install | bool | false |
Whether the cert-manager chart should be installed. See: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/cert-manager/cert-manager |
certificateIssuer.create | bool | false |
Whether an ACME certificate issuer should be created for use with cert-manager. |
certificateIssuer.email | string | nil |
|
certificateIssuer.solvers | list | [] |
The solvers to use for verifying that the domain is owned in the ACME challenge. See: https://cert-manager.io/docs/configuration/acme/ |
external-dns.install | bool | false |
Whether the external-dns chart should be installed. If installed manually, make sure to add the crd item to the sources. See: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/external-dns/external-dns |
image.name | string | "ghcr.io/borchero/switchboard" |
The switchboard image to use. |
image.tag | string | "0.3.0" |
The switchboard image tag to use. |
integrations.certManager.enabled | bool | false |
Whether the cert-manager integration should be enabled. If enabled, Certificate resources are created by Switchboard. Setting this to true requires specifying an issuer via integrations.certManager.issuer or letting the chart create its own issuer by setting certificateIssuer.create = true and specifying additional properties for the certificate issuer. |
integrations.certManager.issuer.kind | string | nil |
The kind of certificate issuer to use for obtaining TLS certificates. |
integrations.certManager.issuer.name | string | nil |
The name of the certificate issuer to use for obtaining TLS certificates. |
integrations.externalDNS.enabled | bool | false |
Whether the external-dns integration should be enabled. If enabled DNSEndpoint resources are created by Switchboard. Setting this to true requires specifying the target via integrations.externalDNS.target . |
integrations.externalDNS.targetIPs | list | [] |
The static IP addresses that created DNS records should point to. Must not be provided if the target service is set. |
integrations.externalDNS.targetService.name | string | nil |
The name of the (Traefik) service whose IP address should be used for DNS records. |
integrations.externalDNS.targetService.namespace | string | nil |
The namespace of the (Traefik) service whose IP address should be used for DNS records. |
metrics.enabled | bool | true |
Whether the metrics endpoint should be enabled. |
metrics.port | int | 9090 |
The port on which Prometheus metrics can be scraped on path /metrics . |
podAnnotations | object | {} |
Annotations to set on the switchboard pod. |
podMonitor.create | bool | false |
Whether a PodMonitor should be created which can be used to scrape the metrics endpoint. Ignored if metrics.enabled is set to false |
podMonitor.namespace | string | nil |
The namespace where the monitor should be created in. Defaults to the release namespace. |
replicas | int | 1 |
The number of manager replicas to use. |
resources | object | {} |
The resources to use for the operator. |
selector.ingressClass | string | nil |
When set, Switchboard only processes ingress routes with the kubernetes.io/ingress.class annotation set to this value. |
