User Management System - Helm Chart

Kubernetes Helm Chart for deploying the User Management System.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.19+
• Helm 3.2.0+
• ingress-nginx controller (for Ingress)
• cert-manager (for TLS, optional)

Installation

# Add the repository
helm repo add user-management https://charts.example.com
helm repo update

# Install the chart
helm install user-management user-management/user-management \
  --set config.jwtSecret="your-secret-key" \
  --set config.adminEmail="admin@example.com"

Using with Custom Values

# Create a values file
cat > values.yaml << EOF
replicaCount: 2

config:
  jwtSecret: "your-production-secret-key"
  adminEmail: "admin@example.com"
  logLevel: "warn"

ingress:
  enabled: true
  hosts:
    - host: ums.example.com
      paths:
        - path: /
  tls:
    - secretName: ums-tls
      hosts:
        - ums.example.com

resources:
  limits:
    cpu: 1000m
    memory: 1Gi
EOF

# Install with custom values
helm install user-management user-management/user-management -f values.yaml

Production Best Practices

1. Use TLS

helm install user-management user-management/user-management \
  --set config.jwtSecret="$(openssl rand -base64 32)" \
  --set ingress.enabled=true \
  --set ingress.tls[0].secretName=ums-tls \
  --set ingress.tls[0].hosts[0]=ums.example.com

2. Set Resource Limits

helm install user-management user-management/user-management \
  --set resources.limits.cpu="1000m" \
  --set resources.limits.memory="1Gi" \
  --set resources.requests.cpu="250m" \
  --set resources.requests.memory="512Mi"

3. Enable Autoscaling

helm install user-management user-management/user-management \
  --set autoscaling.enabled=true \
  --set autoscaling.minReplicas=2 \
  --set autoscaling.maxReplicas=10 \
  --set autoscaling.targetCPUUtilizationPercentage=70

4. Use a Strong JWT Secret

# Generate a secure random secret
JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '\n')

helm install user-management user-management/user-management \
  --set config.jwtSecret="$JWT_SECRET"

Upgrading

# Upgrade to a new version
helm upgrade user-management user-management/user-management

# Upgrade with new values
helm upgrade user-management user-management/user-management \
  --set config.logLevel="debug"

Uninstall

helm uninstall user-management

# Note: PVC data persists by default. To delete all data:
kubectl delete pvc -l app.kubernetes.io/name=user-management

Troubleshooting

Pod not starting

# Check pod status
kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=user-management

# View pod logs
kubectl logs -l app.kubernetes.io/name=user-management

# Describe pod for events
kubectl describe pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=user-management

Ingress not working

# Check ingress controller
kubectl get pods -n ingress-nginx

# Check ingress resource
kubectl get ingress -l app.kubernetes.io/name=user-management

# Check certificate
kubectl get certificate -l app.kubernetes.io/name=user-management
