Verdaccio

Verdaccio is a lightweight private Node.js proxy registry.

TL;DR;

$ helm repo add verdaccio https://charts.verdaccio.org
$ helm repo update
$ helm install verdaccio verdaccio/verdaccio

⚠️ If you are using stable/verdaccio chart, be aware is deprecated, forward all new PR and or issues to this repository.

If you need support for Helm v2, please use <=v0.19.0, be aware we do not support Helm v2 anymore.

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a Verdaccio deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes 1.7+ with Beta APIs enabled
  • PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

Installing the Chart

Add repository

helm repo add verdaccio https://charts.verdaccio.org

Install Verdaccio chart

In this example we use npm as release name:

# Helm v3+
helm install npm verdaccio/verdaccio

Note: Avoid release name verdaccio, otherwise, Kubernetes-generated environment variables may get into conflict with Verdaccio's own environment variables in the Pod itself. In case you insist naming the release verdaccio, to mitigate the problem, you can use either nameOverride or fullnameOverride to have a different name for the service.

Deploy a specific version

# Helm v3+
helm install npm --set image.tag=5.21.1 verdaccio/verdaccio

Upgrading Verdaccio

helm upgrade npm verdaccio/verdaccio

The command deploys Verdaccio on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the npm deployment:

# Helm v3+
helm uninstall npm

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the Verdaccio chart and their default values.

Parameter Description Default

podAnnotations Annotations to add to each pod {}
priorityClass.enabled Enable specifying pod priorityClassName false
priorityClass.name PriorityClassName to be specified in pod spec ""
replicaCount Desired number of pods 1
livenessProbe Configuration of liveness probe {}
readinessProbe Configuration of readiness probe {}
resources CPU/Memory resource requests/limits {}
service.annotations Annotations to add to service none
service.clusterIP IP address to assign to service ""

service.loadBalancerIP IP address to assign to load balancer (if supported) ""
service.loadBalancerSourceRanges List of IP CIDRs allowed access to load balancer (if supported) []
service.port Service port to expose 4873
service.nodePort Service port to expose none
service.type Type of service to create ClusterIP
serviceAccount.create Create service account false
serviceAccount.name Service account Name none
extraEnvVars Define environment variables to be passed to the container []
secretEnvVars Define sensitive environment variables to be passed to the container {}
existingSecret Existing secret containing environment variables to be passed to the container ""
extraInitContainers Define additional initContainers to be added to the deployment []
securityContext Define Container Security Context {runAsUser=10001}
podSecurityContext Define Pod Security Context {fsGroup=101}
nameOverride Set resource name override ""
fullnameOverride Set resource fullname override ""
useSecretHtpasswd Use htpasswd from .Values.secrets.htpasswd. This require helm v3.2.0 or above. false
secrets.htpasswd user and password list to generate htpasswd. []
ingress.enabled Enable/Disable Ingress false
ingress.className Ingress Class Name (k8s >=1.18 required) ""
ingress.annotations Ingress Annotations {}
ingress.hosts List of Ingress Hosts []
ingress.paths List of Ingress Paths ["/"]
ingress.extraPaths List of extra Ingress Paths []

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

# Helm v3+
$ helm install my-release \
  --set service.type=LoadBalancer \
    verdaccio/verdaccio

The above command sets the service type LoadBalancer.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

# Helm v3+
$ helm install npm -f values.yaml verdaccio/verdaccio

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml

Generate htpasswd using helm

This requires helm v3.2.0 or above. You can list all username and password in .Values.secrets.htpasswd. Helm will generate secret with htpaswd format. This file is mounted on pod in this path /verdaccio/auth/htpasswd. The Default config uses this. The conditional statement {{- if .Values.secrets.htpasswd }} is evaluated as false if the list is an empty collection. (Source helm flow control)

Tip: These values are in plaintext. So don't forget to put additional encryption.

Example

secrets:
  # list of users and password for htpasswd plugin
  # This this is mounted as /verdaccio/auth/htpasswd on pods
  htpasswd:
    - username: "verdaccio"
      password: "verdaccio"

This config will create a htpasswd file with user "verdaccio", If in config 'htpasswd' auth is used. You can login using this credentials.

Custom ConfigMap

When creating a new chart with this chart as a dependency, CustomConfigMap can be used to override the default config.yaml provided. It also allows for providing additional configuration files that will be copied into /verdaccio/conf. In the parent chart's values.yaml, set the value to true and provide the file templates/config.yaml for your use case.

Persistence

The Verdaccio image stores persistence under /verdaccio/storage path of the container. A dynamically managed Persistent Volume Claim is used to keep the data across deployments, by default. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube. Alternatively, a previously configured Persistent Volume Claim can be used.

It is possible to mount several volumes using Persistence.volumes and Persistence.mounts parameters.

Existing PersistentVolumeClaim

  1. Create the PersistentVolume
  2. Create the PersistentVolumeClaim
  3. Install the chart
# Helm v3+
$ helm install npm \
    --set persistence.existingClaim=PVC_NAME \
    verdaccio/verdaccio

Migrating chart 2.x -> 3.x

Due to some breaking changes in Selector Labels and Security Contexts in Chart 3.0.0 you will need to migrate when upgrading.

First off, the securityContext.enabled field has been removed.
In addition to this, fsGroup is not a valid Container Security Context field and has been migrated to the podSecurityContext instead.

# values.yaml
podSecurityContext:
+  fsGroup: 101
 securityContext:
-  enabled: true
-  fsGroup: 101
   runAsUser: 10001

Secondly, the apps.v1.Deployment.spec.selector field is immutable and changes were made to Selector Labels which tries to update this.
To get around this, you will need to kubectl delete deployment $deploymentName before doing a helm upgrade
So long as your PVC is not destroyed, the new deployment will be rolled out with the same PVC as before and your data will remain intact.

Migrating chart 3.x -> 4.x

Due the major release Verdaccio 5 has some breaking changes to be aware of, please read the migration guide here.
