Passbolt Helm chart

Passbolt is an open source, security first password manager with strong focus on collaboration.

TL;DR

The following commands are not recommended for production deployments as they will use default passwords for internal databases:

helm repo add my-repo https://download.passbolt.com/charts/passbolt
helm install my-release my-repo/passbolt

In case you prefer to use postgresql intead of mariadb, a sample config is provided in the examples directory:

helm repo add my-repo https://download.passbolt.com/charts/passbolt
helm install my-release my-repo/passbolt -f examples/postgresql.yaml

Production workloads should change the fields with values 'CHANGEME' on values.yaml and deploy the chart as follows:

helm repo add my-repo https://download.passbolt.com/charts/passbolt
helm install my-release my-repo/passbolt -f values.yaml

Or using --set flags to modify certain chart options:

helm repo add my-repo https://download.passbolt.com/charts/passbolt
helm install my-release my-repo/passbolt \
  --set redis.auth.password=my_redis_password \
  --set passboltEnv.secret.CACHE_CAKE_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=my_redis_password \
  --set mariadb.auth.password=my_mariadb_password \
  --set passboltEnv.secret.DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=my_mariadb_password

Introduction

This chart deploys passbolt on kubernetes using the Helm package manager.

Passbolt comes in three editions:

• Community edition
• Professional edition
• Cloud edition

This chart supports the deployment of Community edition and Professional edition.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.19+ or 1.23+ if you want to use hpa
• Helm 3.x
• Passbolt docker >= 3.12.2-1

Installing the chart

Installing the chart under the name my-release:

helm install my-release my-repo

The above command deploys passbolt with default settings on your kubernetes cluster. Check the configuration section to check which parameters you can fine tune.

Creating first user

Once the chart is deployed, you can create your first user by running the following command:

kubectl exec -it <passbolt-pod-name> -- su -c "bin/cake passbolt register_user -u <email> -f <firstname> -l <lastname> -r admin" -s /bin/bash www-data

Uninstalling the chart

To uninstall/delete the chart from your cluster:

helm delete my-release

The above command deletes all the kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Updating REAME.md

We rely on the helm-docs helm plugin and mdformat with mdformat-tables to generate and format the README.md on each release
