GlitchTip Helm Chart

We use this chart internally. However it's not fully documented yet nor tested in a wide range of scenarios. If you are a helm and kubernetes expert - feel free to use this and help contribute to this repo.

Based on https://gitlab.com/burke-software/django-helm-chart/

Usage

1. Add our Helm chart repo helm repo add glitchtip https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/16325141/packages/helm/stable
2. Review our values.yaml. At a minimum you'll need to set env.secret.DATABASE_URL and env.secret.SECRET_KEY.
3. Install the chart helm install glitchtip glitchtip/glitchtip. You'll need to specify your own values.yml file or make use of --set

The default values assume a externally managed PostgreSQL database and a chart managed Redis. Redis in GlitchTip is ephemeral.

Important Tips

• Use helm diff to preview changes
• We don't update the chart version for app version updates at this time, set image.tag instead.
• Set image.pullPolicy to IfNotPresent after specifying the image.tag
• Set redis.auth.password to avoid redis being entirely remade on each release
• If updating the chart, carefully review values for any new defaults

Updating

• helm repo update
• Set the image.tag to the latest version
• helm diff upgrade glitchtip glitchtip/glitchtip
• Carefully review diff
• helm upgrade glitchtip glitchtip/glitchtip
