About

This helm chart spins up a weechat container with a running relay and persistent disk.

Requirements

• minikube (for dev/testing)
• kubectl

Testing

1. Start Minikube Ingress and Helm

   minikube start
   minikube addons enable ingress
   helm init
   

2. Install Helm dependencies and chart

   helm install -n weechat .
   

3. Monitor progress of weechat initialization

   kubectl -n weechat logs \
     -f $(kubectl -n weechat get pods -l app=weechat -o name)
   

4. Add local DNS entry for minikube

   echo "$(minikube ip) weechat.local" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
   

5. Connect with ssh

   helm install \
     --tls \
     --name nginx-ingress \
     --namespace kube-system \
     stable/nginx-ingress \
     --set rbac.create=true \
     --set tcp.22="default/weechat:22"
