kstack

A Helm chart for kstack on Kubernetes

Introduction

This chart serves as an umbrella to the next charts:

Confluent

Helm charts that deploy components of the Confluent Platform (open source and community).

• Zookeeper
• Kafka
• Schema Registry
• Kafka Connect
• Kafka REST
• ksqldb

Other Kafka Tools

• Kafrdop
• Schema Registry UI
• kafka Connect UI

Developing Environment

• Docker Desktop for Mac 3.5.2
  • Kubernetes v1.21.2
• Helm v3.6.3
• Confluent Platform 6.2.0
  • Zookeeper 3.5.9
  • Kafka 2.8

Installing the Chart

Add the chart repository, if not done before:

helm repo add rhcharts https://ricardo-aires.github.io/helm-charts/

Run the installer with the default configuration.

helm install ktool rhcharts/kstack

One can run the:

• helm list command to list releases installed
• helm status to display the status of the named release
• helm test to run tests for a release

To uninstall the ktool deployment run:

helm uninstall ktool

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

Parameters

You can specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

helm install ktool -f my-values.yaml rhcharts/kstack

A default values.yaml is available and should be checked for more advanced usage. Example:

kafka:
  enabled: true
  heapOpts: -Xmx2048m -Xms2048m
  data:
    storageSize: 20Gi
  zookeeper:
    enabled: true
    replicaCount: 5
