Deploying Global View on Virtana Platform

Run the following command in your terminal:

helm upgrade --install controlplane-crds virtana-repo/virtana-global-view \
  --namespace controlplane --create-namespace \
  --set tags.crds=true -f global-view-values.yaml \
  --version <LATEST_VERSION>

Create a file named virtana-cp-crds.yaml and apply it to your Argo CD controller. Ensure you set the tags.crds parameter to true.

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: virtana-cp-crds
  namespace: argocd
  finalizers:
  - resources-finalizer.argocd.argoproj.io
spec:
  destination:
    server: "https://kubernetes.default.svc"
    namespace: controlplane
  source:
    chart: virtana-global-view
    repoURL: "https://virtana.gitlab.io/helm-charts/"
    targetRevision: <LATEST_VERSION>
    helm:
      releaseName: controlplane-crds
      parameters:
        - name: "tags.crds"
          value: "true"      
      values: |
        <contents of global-view-values.yaml>
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true
    syncOptions:
    - CreateNamespace=true

Define a helm_release resource in your Terraform configuration (for example, virtana-cp-crds.tf). Set the tags.crds value to true.

resource "helm_release" "cp-crds" {
  create_namespace = true
  chart            = "virtana-global-view"
  name             = "controlplane-crds"
  namespace        = "controlplane"
  repository       = "https://virtana.gitlab.io/helm-charts"
  version          = var.helm_version
  timeout          = 1200
  wait             = true

  set {
    name  = "tags.crds"
    value = "true"
  }
}

Run the following command in your terminal:

helm upgrade --install controlplane-infra virtana-repo/virtana-global-view \
  --namespace controlplane --create-namespace \
  --set tags.infra=true -f global-view-values.yaml \
  --version <LATEST_VERSION>

Once the command completes, verify that all infrastructure pods are in a Running and Ready state before proceeding:

watch kubectl get pods -n controlplane

Create a file named virtana-cp-infra.yaml. In the values section, include the full contents of your global-view-values.yaml file and set tags.infra to true.

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: virtana-cp-infra
  namespace: argocd
  finalizers:
  - resources-finalizer.argocd.argoproj.io
spec:
  destination:
    server: "https://kubernetes.default.svc"
    namespace: controlplane
  source:
    chart: virtana-global-view
    repoURL: "https://virtana.gitlab.io/helm-charts/"
    targetRevision: <LATEST_VERSION> # Provide latest version
    helm:
      releaseName: controlplane-infra
      parameters:
        - name: "tags.infra"
          value: "true"
      values: |
        <contents of global-view-values.yaml>
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true
    syncOptions:
    - CreateNamespace=true

In your virtana-cp-infra.tf file, use a templatefile function to pass your environment variables (like passwords and hostnames) into the Helm release.

resource "helm_release" "cp-infra" {
  create_namespace = true
  chart            = "virtana-global-view"
  name             = "controlplane-infra"
  namespace        = "controlplane"
  repository       = "https://virtana.gitlab.io/helm-charts"
  version          = var.helm_version
  timeout          = 1200
  wait             = true
  values = [
    templatefile("${path.module}/../values/controlplane-values.yaml", {
      storage_class             = var.storageclass
      docker_password           = var.docker_password
      docker_username           = var.docker_username
      keycloak_hostname         = var.keycloak_hostname
      keycloak_password         = var.keycloak_password
      keycloak_username         = var.keycloak_username
      global_view_hostname      = var.global_view_hostname
      tenant_name               = var.tenant_name
      user_first_name           = var.user_first_name
      user_last_name            = var.user_last_name
      user_email                = var.user_email
      smtp_from_mail            = var.smtp_from_mail
      smtp_password             = var.smtp_password
      smtp_port                 = var.smtp_port
      smtp_server               = var.smtp_server
      smtp_to_mail              = var.smtp_to_mail
      smtp_username             = var.smtp_username
      growthbook_hostname       = var.growthbook_hostname
      growthbook_api_hostname   = var.growthbook_api_hostname
    })
  ]

  set {
    name  = "tags.infra"
    value = "true"
  }
}

Run the following command in your terminal:

helm upgrade --install controlplane-service virtana-repo/virtana-global-view \
  --namespace controlplane --create-namespace \
  --set tags.service=true -f global-view-values.yaml \
  --version <LATEST_VERSION>

Create a file named virtana-cp-service.yaml. Similar to the infra step, include your values file and set the tags.service parameter to true.

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: virtana-cp-service
  namespace: argocd
  finalizers:
  - resources-finalizer.argocd.argoproj.io
spec:
  destination:
    server: "https://kubernetes.default.svc"
    namespace: controlplane
  source:
    chart: virtana-global-view
    repoURL: "https://virtana.gitlab.io/helm-charts/"
    targetRevision: <LATEST_VERSION> # Provide latest version
    helm:
      releaseName: controlplane-service
      parameters:
        - name: "tags.service"
          value: "true"
      values: |
        <contents of global-view-values.yaml>
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true
    syncOptions:
    - CreateNamespace=true

Configure the virtana-cp-service.tf resource. Ensure all SMTP and Keycloak variables are correctly mapped so that the services can communicate and send notifications.

  create_namespace = true
  chart            = "virtana-global-view"
  name             = "controlplane-service"
  namespace        = "controlplane"
  repository       = "https://virtana.gitlab.io/helm-charts"
  version          = var.helm_version
  timeout          = 1200
  wait             = true
  values = [
    templatefile("${path.module}/../values/controlplane-values.yaml", {
      storage_class             = var.storageclass
      docker_password           = var.docker_password
      docker_username           = var.docker_username
      keycloak_hostname         = var.keycloak_hostname
      keycloak_password         = var.keycloak_password
      keycloak_username         = var.keycloak_username

      user_first_name           = var.user_first_name
      user_last_name            = var.user_last_name
      user_email                = var.user_email
      smtp_from_mail            = var.smtp_from_mail
      smtp_password             = var.smtp_password
      smtp_port                 = var.smtp_port
      smtp_server               = var.smtp_server
      smtp_to_mail              = var.smtp_to_mail

    value = "true"
  }
