Pre-requisites

1. Add Helm dependency repositories:

 helm repo add stable https://charts.helm.sh/stable
 helm repo add incubator https://charts.helm.sh/incubator
 helm repo add kiwigrid https://kiwigrid.github.io
 helm repo add kokuwa https://kokuwaio.github.io/helm-charts
 helm repo add elastic https://helm.elastic.co
 helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
 helm repo add codecentric https://codecentric.github.io/helm-charts

Configure remote Mojaloop Helm repo on your Helm Client

1. Add Mojaloop repo

helm repo add mojaloop http://mojaloop.io/helm/repo/

2. Keep your local Mojaloop repo up to date

helm repo update

Deployment

1. Deploy specific chart

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> mojaloop/<chart_name>

e.g. helm --namespace moja install dev mojaloop/centralledger

Alternative directly from remote repo:

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> --repo=http://mojaloop.io/helm/repo <chart_name>

2. Deploy specific chart overriding values

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> mojaloop/<chart_name> -f {custom-values.yaml}

e.g. helm --namespace moja install dev mojaloop/centralledger -f ./values.yaml

Refer to the following default chart config file for values: http://mojaloop.io/helm/<chart_name>/values.yaml

Alternatively one can set specific values via cli arguments based on the config file above:

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> mojaloop/<chart_name> --set foo=bar --set {key.subkey.subsubkey}={value}

3. Deploy specific version for a chart

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> mojaloop/<chart_name> --version {version}

e.g. helm --namespace moja install dev mojaloop/centralledger --version v1.0.0

Refer to the following default chart config file for values: http://mojaloop.io/helm/<chart_name>/values.yaml

4. Deploy Mojaloop components

Warning: This will deploy all core Mojaloop charts.

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> mojaloop/mojaloop

e.g. helm --namespace moja install dev mojaloop/mojaloop

5. Deploy Mojaloop with Bulk-API-Adapter

Warning: This will deploy all core Mojaloop charts. and the Bulk-API-Adapter

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> mojaloop/mojaloop --set mojaloop-bulk.enabled=true --set ml-ttk-test-val-bulk.tests.enabled=true

e.g. helm --namespace moja install dev mojaloop/mojaloop --set mojaloop-bulk.enabled=true --set ml-ttk-test-val-bulk.tests.enabled=true

6. Deploy Mojaloop with Thirdparty components

Refer to thirdparty/README.md for more information on what pre-requisites are required to enable Thirdparty components and how to manually deploy backend dependencies.

Deploying development versions

1. To deploy the latest development version, use the --devel flag:

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> mojaloop/mojaloop --devel

  This is useful if you've had some work merged into master but it has not yet been released.

  The --devel flag can also be supplied to helm search and helm upgrade commands.

  Development versions can be specified in a requirements.yaml file if you're using Mojaloop as a child chart.

Upgrading Deployments from Repo

helm --namespace <namespace> upgrade <release-name> mojaloop/<chart_name>

e.g. helm --namespace moja upgrade dev mojaloop/centralenduserregistry

Deployment from Source for local repo deployments

Update Chart Dependencies for Source for local repo deployments (i.e. from the cloned github repository)

Run the following script sh ./update-charts-dep.sh in the helm root folder.

This script will ensure that all dependencies and child-dependencies are updated correctly. This is temporary until recursive updates is supported in future: helm/helm#2247.

Deployment

1. Deploy specific chart

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> <chart_folder>

e.g. helm --namespace mojaloop install dev ./centralledger

2. Deploy mojaloop componenets

Warning: This will deploy all core Mojaloop charts.

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> mojaloop

e.g. helm --namespace mojaloop install dev ./mojaloop

Upgrading Deployments from Source

• helm --namespace <namespace> upgrade <release-name> <chart_folder>

e.g. helm --namespace mojaloop upgrade dev ./centralenduserregistry

Testing Deployments

Validation

Note: This is currently only supported by Helm v3.

Mojaloop Helm deployments currently include the following tests:

Helm Test	Test Cases	Enabled by default?	Notes
ml-ttk-test-setup.tests	hub/provisioning	Yes	Required as a pre-requisite for all tests.
ml-ttk-test-val-gp	hub/golden_path	Yes	Previously named ml-ttk-test-validation prior to v13.1.0 release.
ml-ttk-test-val-bulk	hub/other_tests/bulk_transfers	No	mojaloop-bulk.enabled=true must be set to deploy the Bulk-API-Adapter components.

1. Ensure Tests are enabled

Ensure the following properties are set in your values file:

• ml-ttk-test-setup.tests.enabled=true
• ml-ttk-test-val-gp.tests.enabled=true
• ml-ttk-test-val-bulk.tests.enabled=true (Note: only applicable if mojaloop-bulk.enabled=true is set)

Or alternatively add --set for each of the above parameters on the install command:

helm install ... --set ml-ttk-test-setup.tests.enabled=true --set ml-ttk-test-val-gp.tests.enabled=true --set ml-ttk-test-val-bulk=true --set ml-ttk-test-val-bulk.tests.enabled=true

2. Run Tests

Run tests: helm test <RELEASE_NAME>

Run tests with logs:

helm test <RELEASE_NAME> --logs

Ingress

1. Add the following to your hosts file and ensure you have installed Ingress Controller on your Kubernetes Cluster:

<ip-of-k8s-node-ingress> ml-api-adapter.local central-ledger.local account-lookup-service.local quoting-service.local central-settlement.local moja-simulator.local

2. Curl Health End-points for ML-API-Adapter

• curl http://ml-api-adapter.local/health

Expected output:

{"status":"OK"}

3. Curl Health End-points for Central Ledger

• curl http://central-ledger.local/health

Expected output:

{"status":"OK"}

Removing Deployments

• helm --namespace <namespace> del <release-name>

e.g. helm --namespace mojaloop del dev

Debugging Charts

1. Execute a dry-run to display all the Kubernetes deployment files

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> <chart_folder> --dry-run

2. Enable debug to display raw configurations that will be injected into Helm templates

• helm --namespace <namespace> install <release_name> <chart_folder> --dry-run --debug

3. Use Helm Linter to check for any issues

• helm lint --strict <chart_folder>

Helper scripts

# lint all parent charts and ensure they conform to Helm's standards
./lint-charts.sh


# Update all charts, and their respective dependencies (requirements).
./update-charts-dep.sh

# Package all charts, and created an index.yaml in ./repo directory
./package.sh
