Fn Project Helm Chart

The Fn project is an open source, container native, and cloud agnostic serverless platform. It’s easy to use, supports every programming language, and is extensible and performant.

Introduction

This chart deploys a fully functioning instance of the Fn platform on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Prerequisites

PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure (for persistent data, see below )
Install Helm
Initialize Helm by installing Tiller, the server portion of Helm, to your Kubernetes cluster

helm init

Installing the Chart

Clone the fn-helm repo:

git clone git@github.com:fnproject/fn-helm.git && cd fn-helm

Install chart dependencies from requirements.yaml:

helm dep build fn

Grant the following Docker EE permissions by using this guide:

Namespace	Service Account	Role	Resource Set
default	default	Restricted Control	kubernetesnamespaces
kube-system	default	Full Control	kubernetesnamespaces

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

helm install --name my-release fn

Note: if you do not pass the --name flag, a release name will be auto-generated. You can view releases by running helm list (or helm ls, for short).

Uninstalling the Fn Helm Chart

Assuming your release is named my-release:

helm delete --purge my-release

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

Configuration

Key	Description	Default
`fn.service.type`	ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer	`LoadBalancer`
`fn.service.port`	Fn service port	`80`
`fn.service.annotations`	Fn Service annotations	`{}`
`fnserver.resources`	Per-node resource requests, see Kubernetes Pod Resources	`{}`
`fnserver.nodeSelector`	Fn node selectors, see Kubernetes Assigning Pods to Nodes	`{}`
`fnserver.tolerations`	Node taint tolerations, see Kubernetes Taints and Tolerations	`{}`
`flow.service.type`	ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer	`ClusterIP`
`flow.service.port`	Flow Service port	`80`
`flow.service.annotations`	Flow Service annotations	`{}`
`ui.enabled`	Enable UI components	`true`
`ui.service.flowuiPort`	Fn Flow UI port for ui service	`3000`
`ui.service.fnuiPort`	Fn UI port for ui service	`4000`
`ui.service.type`	UI Service type	`LoadBalancer`
`rbac.enabled`	Whether to enable RBAC with a specific cluster role and binding for Fn	`false`
`mysql.*`	See the MySQL chart docs
`redis.*`	See the Redis chart docs

Configuring Database Persistence

Fn persists application data in MySQL. This is configured using the MySQL Helm Chart.

By default this uses container storage. To configure a persistent volume, set mysql.* values in the chart values to that which corresponds to your storage requirements.

e.g. to use an existing persistent volume claim for MySQL storage:

helm install --name testfn --set mysql.persistence.enabled=true,mysql.persistence.existingClaim=tc-fn-mysql fn
