Offline deployment of Kubeblocks with Ansible

[bbaassssiiee]

Hi,

Since offline deployment with a private Helm OCI registry is possible, but a bit tedious, I will share my results after getting excellent help in this forum discussion.

Ansible role

I created an ansible-role on GitHub and published it on Galaxy

The variable desired_state can be used in testing with values present and absent, to install or uninstall kubeblocks. The defaults/main.yml has a minimal set of addons, which can be overridden in your group_vars.

Installing the role

ansible-galaxy install bbaassssiiee.kubeblocks

Example playbook

- name: Manage KubeBlocks
  hosts: localhost
  become: false
  connection: local
  vars:
    # Semaphore does not pass $HOME so K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG needs to be set.
    k8s_auth_kubeconfig: /home/semaphore/.kube/config

  pre_tasks:
    - name: desired_state
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        msg: "{{ desired_state }}"

  tasks:
    - name: Configure KubeBlocks
      ansible.builtin.include_role:
        name: bbaassssiiee.kubeblocks
