Common: The Helm Helper Chart

This chart was originally forked from incubator/common, which is designed to make it easier for you to build and maintain Helm charts.

It provides utilities that reflect best practices of Kubernetes chart development, making it faster for you to write charts.

Contents

Getting Started

Adding Repository

The following command allows you to download and install all the charts from our repository:

$ helm repo add hahow https://hahow-helm-charts.storage.googleapis.com/

Adding Dependency

To use the library chart, common should be listed in dependencies field in your Chart.yaml:

dependencies:
  - name: common
    version: 0.4.1
    repository: https://hahow-helm-charts.storage.googleapis.com/

Once you have defined dependencies, you should run the following command to download this chart into your charts/ directory:

$ helm dep build

Using Starter

The best way to get started is to use the create script to generate a new chart.

You can fetch that script, and then execute it locally:

$ curl -fsSL -o create.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hahow/common-chart/master/create.sh
$ chmod 700 create.sh
$ ./create.sh mychart

or simply

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hahow/common-chart/master/create.sh | bash -s -- mychart

Now, there is a chart in ./mychart. You can edit it and create your own templates.

Resource Kinds

Kubernetes defines a variety of resource kinds, from Secret to StatefulSet. We define some of the most common kinds in a way that lets you easily work with them.

The resource kind templates are designed to make it much faster for you to define basic versions of these resources. They allow you to extend and modify just what you need, without having to copy around lots of boilerplate.

To make use of these templates you must define a template that will extend the base template (though it can be empty). The name of this template is then passed to the base template, for example:

{{- include "common.service" (list . .Values.service "mychart.service") }}
{{- define "mychart.service" -}}
## Define overrides for your Service resource here, e.g.
# metadata:
#   labels:
#     custom: label
# spec:
#   ports:
#   - port: 8080
#     targetPort: http
#     protocol: TCP
#     name: http
{{- end }}

Note that the common.service template defines three parameters:

  • The root context (usually .)
  • A dictionary of values which are used in the template
  • A optional template name containing the service definition overrides

A limitation of the Go template library is that a template can only take a single argument. The list function is used to workaround this by constructing a list or array of arguments that is passed to the template.

The common.service template is responsible for rendering the templates with the root context and merging any overrides. As you can see, this makes it very easy to create a basic Service resource without having to copy around the standard metadata and labels.

Each implemented base resource is described in greater detail below.

common.configMap

The common.configMap template accepts a list of two values:

  • $top, the top context
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It creates an empty ConfigMap resource that you can override with your configuration.

Example use:

{{- include "common.configMap" (list . "mychart.configMap") }}
{{- define "mychart.configMap" -}}
data:
  zeus: cat
  athena: cat
  julius: cat
  one: |-
    {{ .Files.Get "file1.txt" }}
{{- end }}

Output:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  athena: cat
  julius: cat
  one: This is a file.
  zeus: cat
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
    app.kubernetes.io/name: mychart
    app.kubernetes.io/version: 1.16.0
    helm.sh/chart: mychart-0.1.0
  name: release-name-mychart

common.cronJob

The common.cronJob template accepts a list of five values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $cronJob, a dictionary of values used in the cronjob template
  • $pod, a dictionary of values used in the pod template
  • $serviceAccount, a dictionary of values used in the service account template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It defines a basic CronJob with the following defaults:

  • Labels of JobTemplate are defined with common.selectorLabels as this is also used as the selector.
  • Restart policy of pod is set to OnFailure

In addition, it uses the following configuration from the $cronJob:

Value Description
$cronJob.schedule Schedule for the cronjob
$cronJob.concurrencyPolicy [optional] Allow|Forbid|Replace concurrent jobs
$cronJob.failedJobsHistoryLimit [optional] Specify the number of failed jobs to keep
$cronJob.successfulJobsHistoryLimit [optional] Specify the number of completed jobs to keep
$cronJob.suspend [optional] Specify cronjob is suspend, default false
$cronJob.activeDeadlineSeconds [optional] Specify cronjob activeDeadlineSeconds

Underneath the hood, it invokes common.pod.template template with $pod to populate the PodTemplate.

Example use:

{
  {
    - include "common.cronJob" (list . .Values.cronJob .Values .Values.serviceAccount),
  },
}
## The following is the same as above:
# {{- include "common.cronJob" (list . .Values.cronJob .Values .Values.serviceAccount "mychart.cronJob") }}
# {{- define "mychart.cronJob" -}}
# {{- end }}

common.deployment

The common.deployment template accepts a list of five values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $deployment, a dictionary of values used in the deployment template
  • $autoscaling, a dictionary of values used in the hpa template
  • $serviceAccount, a dictionary of values used in the service account template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It defines a basic Deployment with the following settings:

Value Description
$deployment.replicaCount Number of replica. If autoscaling enabled, this field will be ignored
$deployment.imagePullSecrets [optional] Name of Secret resource containing private registry credentials
$deployment.podSecurityContext [optional] Security options for pod
$deployment.nodeSelector [optional] Node labels for pod assignment
$deployment.affinity [optional] Expressions for affinity
$deployment.tolerations [optional] Toleration labels for pod assignment
$autoscaling.enabled [optional] Set this to true to enable autoscaling

Underneath the hood, it invokes common.pod.template template with $deployment to populate the PodTemplate.

Example use:

{
  {
    - include "common.deployment" (list . .Values .Values.autoscaling .Values.serviceAccount),
  },
}
## The following is the same as above:
# {{- include "common.deployment" (list . .Values .Values.autoscaling .Values.serviceAccount "mychart.deployment") }}
# {{- define "mychart.deployment" -}}
# {{- end }}

common.hpa

The common.hpa template accepts a list of three values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $autoscaling, a dictionary of values used in the hpa template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It creates a basic HorizontalPodAutoscaler resource with the following defaults:

An example values file that can be used to configure the HorizontalPodAutoscaler resource is:

autoscaling:
  enabled: true
  minReplicas: 3
  maxReplicas: 5
  cpuUtilizationPercentage: 50
  memoryUtilizationPercentage: 90

Example use:

{ { - include "common.hpa" (list . .Values.autoscaling) } }
## The following is the same as above:
# {{- include "common.hpa" (list . .Values.autoscaling "mychart.hpa") }}
# {{- define "mychart.hpa" -}}
# {{- end }}

Output:

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2

common.ingress

The common.ingress template accepts a list of four values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $ingress, a dictionary of values used in the ingress template
  • $service, a dictionary of values used in the service template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It is designed to give you a well-defined Ingress resource, that can be configured using $ingress. An example values file that can be used to configure the Ingress resource is:

ingress:
  enabled: true
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
  hosts:
    - host: chart-example.local
      paths:
        - path: /path/to/somewhere
          pathType: ImplementationSpecific
  tls:
    - secretName: chart-example-tls
      hosts:
        - chart-example.local
service:
  type: ClusterIP
  port: 80

Example use:

{ { - include "common.ingress" (list . .Values.ingress .Values.service) } }
## The following is the same as above:
# {{- include "common.ingress" (list . .Values.ingress .Values.service "mychart.ingress") }}
# {{- define "mychart.ingress" -}}
# {{- end }}

Output:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress

                port:
                  number: 80
            path: /path/to/somewhere
            pathType: ImplementationSpecific
  tls:
    - hosts:
        - "chart-example.local"
      secretName: chart-example-tls

common.pdb

The common.pdb template accepts a list of five values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $pdb, a dictionary of values used in the hpa template
  • $deployment, a dictionary of values used in the deployment template
  • $autoscaling, a dictionary of values used in the hpa template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It creates a basic PodDisruptionBudget resource with the following defaults:

An example values file that can be used to configure the PodDisruptionBudget resource is:

podDisruptionBudget:
  ## You can specify only one of maxUnavailable and minAvailable in a single PodDisruptionBudget
  minAvailable: 2
  # maxUnavailable: 1

Example use:

{
  {
    - include "common.pdb" (list . .Values.podDisruptionBudget .Values .Values.autoscaling),
  },
}
## The following is the same as above:
# {{- include "common.pdb" (list . .Values.podDisruptionBudget .Values .Values.autoscaling "mychart.pdb") }}
# {{- define "mychart.pdb" -}}
# {{- end }}

Output:

apiVersion: policy/v1
kind: PodDisruptionBudget
metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
    app.kubernetes.io/name: mychart

spec:
  minAvailable: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name
      app.kubernetes.io/name: mychart

common.secret

The common.secret template accepts a list of two values:

  • $top, the top context
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It creates an empty Secret resource that you can override with your secrets.

Example use:

{{- include "common.secret" (list . "mychart.secret") }}
{{- define "mychart.secret" -}}
data:
  zeus: {{ print "cat" | b64enc }}
  athena: {{ print "cat" | b64enc }}
  julius: {{ print "cat" | b64enc }}
  one: |-
    {{ .Files.Get "file1.txt" | b64enc }}
{{- end }}

Output:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  athena: Y2F0
  julius: Y2F0
  one: VGhpcyBpcyBhIGZpbGUuCg==
  zeus: Y2F0
kind: Secret
metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name

    app.kubernetes.io/version: 1.16.0
    helm.sh/chart: mychart-0.1.0
  name: release-name-mychart
type: Opaque

common.service

The common.service template accepts a list of three values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $service, a dictionary of values used in the service template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It creates a basic Service resource with the following defaults:

  • Service type (ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer) made configurable by $service.type
  • Named port http configured on port $service.port
  • Selector set with common.selectorLabels to match the default used in the Deployment resource

Example template:

{{- include "common.service" (list . .Values.service "mychart.mail.service") }}
{{- define "mychart.mail.service" -}}
{{- $top := first . }}
metadata:
  name: {{ include "common.fullname" $top }}-mail # overrides the default name to add a suffix
  labels:                                         # appended to the labels section
    protocol: mail
spec:
  ports:                                          # composes the `ports` section of the service definition.
  - name: smtp
    port: 25
    targetPort: 25
  - name: imaps
    port: 993
    targetPort: 993
  selector:                                       # this is appended to the default selector
    protocol: mail
{{- end }}
---
{{ include "common.service" (list . .Values.service "mychart.web.service") }}
{{- define "mychart.web.service" -}}
{{- $top := first . }}
metadata:
  name: {{ include "common.fullname" $top }}-www  # overrides the default name to add a suffix
  labels:                                         # appended to the labels section
    protocol: www
spec:
  ports:                                          # composes the `ports` section of the service definition.
  - name: www
    port: 80
    targetPort: 8080
{{- end }}

The above template defines two services: a web service and a mail service.

The most important part of a service definition is the ports object, which defines the ports that this service will listen on. Most of the time, selector is computed for you. But you can replace it or add to it.

The output of the example above is:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
    app.kubernetes.io/name: mychart

    helm.sh/chart: mychart-0.1.0
    protocol: www
  name: release-name-mychart-www
spec:
  ports:
    - name: www
      port: 80
      targetPort: 8080

      targetPort: 993
  selector:
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name
    app.kubernetes.io/name: mychart
    protocol: mail
  type: ClusterIP

common.serviceAccount

The common.serviceAccount template accepts a list of three values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $serviceAccount, a dictionary of values used in the service account template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It creates a basic ServiceAccount resource with the following defaults:

An example values file that can be used to configure the ServiceAccount resource is:

serviceAccount:
  create: true
  annotations: {}
  name:

Example use:

{ { - include "common.serviceAccount" (list . .Values.serviceAccount) } }
## The following is the same as above:
# {{- include "common.serviceAccount" (list . .Values.serviceAccount "mychart.serviceAccount") }}
# {{- define "mychart.serviceAccount" -}}
# {{- end }}

Output:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
    app.kubernetes.io/name: mychart
    app.kubernetes.io/version: 1.16.0
    helm.sh/chart: mychart-0.1.0
  name: release-name-mychart

common.serviceMonitor

The common.serviceMonitor template accepts a list of three values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $serviceMonitor, a dictionary of values used in the service account template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It creates a basic ServiceMonitor resource with the following defaults:

  • Namespace selector is set to the release namespace
  • Selector is set with common.selectorLabels to match the default used in the Service resource

An example values file that can be used to configure the ServiceMonitor resource is:

serviceMonitor:
  enabled: true
  namespace: monitoring
  port: 80
  path: /path/to/metrics
  interval: 30s
  scrapeTimeout: 30s
  basicAuth:
    enabled: true
    username: administrator
    password: password

Example use:

{ { - include "common.serviceMonitor" (list . .Values.serviceMonitor) } }
## The following is the same as above:
# {{- include "common.serviceMonitor" (list . .Values.serviceMonitor "mychart.serviceMonitor") }}
# {{- define "mychart.serviceMonitor" -}}
# {{- end }}

Output:

common.serviceMonitor.secret

The common.serviceMonitor.secret template accepts a list of three values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $serviceMonitor, a dictionary of values used in the service account template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It creates a Secret resource contains the BasicAuth information for the ServiceMonitor.

An example values.yaml for your ServiceMonitor could look like:

serviceMonitor:
  basicAuth:
    enabled: true
    username: administrator
    password: password

Example use:

{ { - include "common.serviceMonitor.secret" (list . .Values.serviceMonitor) } }
## The following is the same as above:
# {{- include "common.serviceMonitor.secret" (list . .Values.serviceMonitor "mychart.serviceMonitor.secret") }}
# {{- define "mychart.serviceMonitor.secret" -}}

    helm.sh/chart: mychart-0.1.0
  name: release-name-mychart
  namespace: monitoring
type: Opaque

Partial Objects

When writing Kubernetes resources, you may find the following helpers useful to construct parts of the spec.

common.chart

The common.chart helper prints the chart name and version, escaped to be legal in a Kubernetes label field.

Example template:

helm.sh/chart: { { include "common.chart" . } }

For the chart foo with version 1.2.3-beta.55+1234, this will render:

helm.sh/chart: foo-1.2.3-beta.55_1234

(Note that + is an illegal character in label values)

common.container

The common.container template accepts a list of three values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $container, a dictionary of values used in the container template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It creates a basic Container spec to be used within a Deployment or CronJob. It holds the following defaults:

  • The name is set to the chart name
  • Uses $container.image to describe the image to run, with the following spec:
    image:
      repository: nginx
      tag: stable
      pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
  • Lays out the security options using $container.securityContext
  • Lays out the compute resources using $container.resources

Example use:

{{- include "common.deployment" (list . .Values .Values.autoscaling "mychart.deployment") }}
{{- define "mychart.deployment" -}}
## Define overrides for your Deployment resource here, e.g.
{{- $top := first . }}
{{- $deployment := index . 1 }}
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - {{- include "common.container" (list $top $deployment "mychart.deployment.container") | nindent 8 }}
{{- end }}
{{- define "mychart.deployment.container" -}}
## Define overrides for your Container here, e.g.
ports:
- name: http
  containerPort: 80
  protocol: TCP
livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /
    port: http
readinessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /
    port: http
{{- end }}

The above example creates a Deployment resource which makes use of the common.container template to populate the PodSpec's container list. The usage of this template is similar to the other resources, you must define and reference a template that contains overrides for the container object.

The most important part of a container definition is the image you want to run. As mentioned above, this is derived from $container.image by default. It is a best practice to define the image, tag and pull policy in your charts' values as this makes it easy for an operator to change the image registry, or use a specific tag or version. Another example of configuration that should be exposed to chart operators is the container's required compute resources, as this is also very specific to an operators environment. An example values.yaml for your chart could look like:

replicaCount: 1
image:
  repository: nginx
  tag: stable
  pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
securityContext:
  capabilities:
    drop:
      - ALL
  readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
  runAsNonRoot: true
  runAsUser: 1000
resources:
  limits:
    cpu: 100m
    memory: 128Mi
  requests:
    cpu: 100m
    memory: 128Mi

The output of running the above values through the earlier template is:

common.fullname

The common.fullname template generates a name suitable for the name: field in Kubernetes metadata. It is used like this:

name: { { include "common.fullname" . } }

This prints the value of {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }} by default, but can be overridden with .Values. fullnameOverride:

fullnameOverride: some-name

Example output:

---
# with the values above
name: some-name

---
# the default, for release "release-name" and chart "mychart"
name: release-name-mychart

Output of this function is truncated at 63 characters, which is the maximum length of name.

common.labels

common.selectorLabels prints the standard set of labels.

Example usage:

{{ include "common.labels" . }}

Example output:

app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name
app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
app.kubernetes.io/name: mychart
app.kubernetes.io/version: 1.16.0
helm.sh/chart: mychart-0.1.0

common.metadata

The common.metadata helper generates value for the metadata: section of a Kubernetes resource.

This takes a list of two values:

  • $top, the top context
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It generates standard labels and a name field.

Example template:

metadata: { { - include "common.metadata" (list .) | nindent 2 } }
## The following is the same as above:
# metadata:
#   {{- include "common.metadata" (list . "mychart.metadata") | nindent 2 }}
# {{- define "mychart.metadata" -}}
# {{- end }}

Example output:

metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
    app.kubernetes.io/name: mychart
    app.kubernetes.io/version: 1.16.0
    helm.sh/chart: mychart-0.1.0
  name: release-name-mychart

Most of the common templates that define a resource type (e.g. common.configMap or common.cronJob) use this to generate the metadata, which means they inherit the same labels and name fields.

common.name

The common.name template generates a name suitable for the app.kubernetes.io/name label. It is used like this:

app.kubernetes.io/name: { { include "common.name" . } }

This prints the value of {{ .Chart.Name }} by default, but can be overridden with .Values.nameOverride:

nameOverride: some-name

Example output:

---
# with the values above
app.kubernetes.io/name: some-name

---
# the default, for chart "mychart"
app.kubernetes.io/name: mychart

Output of this function is truncated at 63 characters, which is the maximum length of name.

common.pod.template

The common.pod.template template accepts a list of four values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $pod, a dictionary of values used in the container template
  • $serviceAccount, a dictionary of values used in the service account template
  • [optional] the template name of the overrides

It creates a basic PodTemplate spec to be used within a Deployment or CronJob. It holds the following defaults:

It also uses the following configuration from the $pod:

Value Description
$pod.imagePullSecrets Names of secrets containing private registry credentials
$pod.podAnnotations Pod annotations
$pod.podSecurityContext Security options
$pod.nodeSelector Node labels for pod assignment
$pod.affinity Expressions for affinity
$pod.tolerations Toleration labels for pod assignment
$pod.podLabels Pod extra labels
$pod.priorityClassName Pod priorityClassName

Underneath the hood, it invokes common.container template with $pod to populate the PodSpec's container list.

common.selectorLabels

common.selectorLabels prints the standard set of selector labels.

Example usage:

{{ include "common.selectorLabels" . }}

Example output:

app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name
app.kubernetes.io/name: mychart

common.serviceAccountName

The common.serviceAccountName template accepts a list of two values:

  • $top, the top context
  • $serviceAccount, a dictionary of values used in the service account template

It generates a name suitable for the serviceAccountName field of a Pod resource.

Example usage:

serviceAccountName: {{ include "common.serviceAccountName" . .Values.serviceAccount }}

The following values can influence the output:

serviceAccount:
  create: true
  # The name of the service account to use.
  # If not set and create is true, a name is generated using the fullname template
  name: some-name

Example output:

---
# with the values above
serviceAccountName: some-name

---
# if serviceAccount.name is not set, the value will be the same as "common.fullname"
serviceAccountName: release-name-mychart

---
# if serviceAccount.create is false, the value will be "default"
serviceAccountName: default
