Zipline {{ .Chart.AppVersion }} — release {{ .Release.Name }} in namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }}.
{{- if .Values.ingress.enabled }}
ACCESS
https://{{ .Values.ingress.domain }}
The certificate is requested by cert-manager through the "{{ .Values.ingress.clusterIssuer }}"
cluster issuer. Until it has been issued the browser shows a warning; follow it with
kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} get certificate tls-{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-ingress
{{- else }}
ACCESS — NO INGRESS
ingress.enabled is false, so this release has no Ingress and no certificate;
ingress.clusterIssuer is not needed. ingress.domain still is: it is also
CORE_DEFAULT_DOMAIN, the host Zipline puts into every share link it hands
out. Reach the instance inside the cluster with
kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} port-forward svc/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-service 8080:80
and open http://localhost:8080 — but every link the app generates will still
point at https://{{ .Values.ingress.domain }}/, which nothing in this release serves.
{{- end }}
{{ if eq $replicas "0" }}
SCALED TO ZERO
{{ if .Values.scaleDown }}scaleDown: true{{ else }}zipline.replicas: 0{{ end }} — the StatefulSet runs with replicas: 0, so the endpoint
above does not answer until you set it back and upgrade again. The uploads
PVC, both Secrets and the Service{{ if .Values.ingress.enabled }} and Ingress stay in place, so no data is
lost and the certificate is not re-issued.{{ else }} stay in place, so no data is lost.{{ end }}
{{ end }}
THE FIRST VISITOR CHOOSES THE ADMINISTRATOR
Against an empty database Zipline has no users, and it sends every visitor
to its setup page to name the super administrator and its password; the
endpoint behind that page refuses to run a second time once an account
exists. Whoever reaches the URL first therefore owns this instance. Do the
setup right after the first rollout, not the next morning. Against a
database that already carries a Zipline schema the step is skipped and the
normal login appears.
SECRETS — WHAT THE TWO 1PASSWORD ITEMS MUST CONTAIN
The operator copies an item's FIELDS into the Kubernetes Secret, one key per
field name, and this chart reads exactly one key from each. The field names
therefore have to match to the letter:
secrets.databaseSecretRef → {{ .Values.secrets.databaseSecretRef }}
field "connection-url" → DATABASE_URL, a full PostgreSQL URL such as
postgresql://zipline:password@postgres.example.com:5432/zipline
The chart deploys no database — that server has to exist already and be
reachable from this namespace.
secrets.ziplineSecretRef → {{ .Values.secrets.ziplineSecretRef }}
field "server-secret" → CORE_SECRET, which signs sessions and tokens.
Generate one with: openssl rand -base64 32
A field spelled differently yields a Secret without that key. The pod then
hangs in CreateContainerConfigError while the Secret itself exists, so it
looks as if the operator had done its job. What it actually delivered:
kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} get secret {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-db-secret -o jsonpath='{.data}'
Pointing a ref at a DIFFERENT item rolls the pod; changing the value INSIDE
the same item does not — Helm never sees that content, so the rendered
StatefulSet is unchanged and nothing restarts:
kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout restart statefulset/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-sfs
Note that a new CORE_SECRET logs every user out.
STARTUP RUNS THE DATABASE MIGRATIONS
Zipline migrates its schema on start, before it serves anything. The startup
probe covers that window{{ if $budget }} ({{ $budget }}){{ end }} and keeps liveness and readiness off
until it is through; if a migration needs longer, the kubelet kills the
container and the next attempt begins the migration again. A migration that
fails looks like CrashLoopBackOff and only the log says why:
kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} logs statefulset/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-sfs
helm rollback returns the chart to the previous app version; the database
does not come back with it, because the schema was migrated in place. Take a
database backup before an app-version upgrade, not after.
WHAT A READY POD PROVES — AND WHAT AN OUTAGE LOOKS LIKE
Readiness and startup use /api/healthcheck, which also checks the database,
so Ready here does mean "server up, database answering". Liveness
deliberately uses "/" instead, so a database outage cannot restart the pod.
Know the resulting picture in advance: during such an outage the container
keeps running and stays quiet, the pod goes NotReady, its endpoint is
dropped{{ if .Values.ingress.enabled }} and the Ingress answers 503{{ end }} — and nothing in the pod's log or
restart count points at the database. Look there first.
TWO DIFFERENT CEILINGS APPLY TO AN UPLOAD
The app-side limit is pinned by the chart at UPLOADER_ADMIN_LIMIT=500mb and
is not exposed as a value.
{{- if .Values.ingress.enabled }}
In front of it the Ingress caps the request body at config.maxUploadFileSize
({{ .Values.config.maxUploadFileSize }}), so that is the ceiling that actually bites: anything larger is
rejected by ingress-nginx with 413 before Zipline sees a byte of it. Raise
config.maxUploadFileSize to move it.
{{- else }}
config.maxUploadFileSize ({{ .Values.config.maxUploadFileSize }}) is rendered nowhere in this release: it exists
only as an ingress-nginx annotation, and the Ingress is switched off.
Whatever proxy you put in front needs its own body-size limit.
{{- end }}
CHUNKS GO THROUGH /tmp, AND /tmp IS ACCOUNTED FOR
The root filesystem is read-only, so /tmp is an emptyDir — and an emptyDir
counts against the container's ephemeral-storage limit ({{ $eph }}).
An upload that pushes it over does not fail as a request: the kubelet evicts
the whole pod, and the reason is on the pod, not in Zipline's log. Where
uploads approach the 500mb the app allows, raise
zipline.resources.requests.ephemeralStorage — the limit follows it through
zipline.resources.limitFactor.
THE UPLOADS VOLUME BELONGS TO THIS RELEASE
uploads, public and themes share one PersistentVolumeClaim,
{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-vc ({{ .Values.config.storage }} from storageClass {{ .Values.config.storageClass }}), each on its own
subPath. It is an ordinary PVC in this release, not a StatefulSet
volumeClaimTemplate: "helm uninstall {{ .Release.Name }}" deletes it, and with a Delete
reclaim policy every uploaded file goes with it. Back the volume up before
uninstalling; a resource-policy annotation added to the live PVC afterwards
does not help, because Helm reads that annotation from the release manifest.
Growing config.storage only takes effect if the StorageClass allows volume
expansion. Shrinking it is refused by Kubernetes and makes the next
helm upgrade fail on the PVC instead of touching the data.
{{- if gt (atoi $replicas) 1 }}
MORE THAN ONE REPLICA WILL NOT COME UP
zipline.replicas is {{ $replicas }}, but every replica mounts the same
ReadWriteOnce claim {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-vc — there is no volumeClaimTemplate and no
per-pod volume. Unless the storage class hands that claim to several nodes,
the additional pods stay stuck before start. This chart is built for one
replica.
{{- end }}
{{- if .Values.zipline.env }}
zipline.env IS APPENDED, NOT MERGED
The entries land after the variables the chart sets itself — DATABASE_URL,
CORE_DEFAULT_DOMAIN, CORE_SECRET and UPLOADER_ADMIN_LIMIT — and are rendered
through tpl, so a value may contain template expressions. Anything sensitive
belongs in valueFrom.secretKeyRef: a plain "value" is stored in the pod spec
and readable by everyone who can read pods in {{ .Release.Namespace }}.
