[$600 in SQT] Helm Charts for SubQuery Network Services

[jamesbayly]

Context:

Currently we only document how to run our Node Operator Services (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/subquery/network-indexer-services) on single node vm or using Docker, while some node operators wanted to run it on kubernetes.

We should be able to provide a limited featured version and make it work with kubernetes. This limited feature edition will only support Node Operators with RPC projects.

Requirements:

• Fix compatibility issues
  • find another way to show coordinator’s std output or disable it
  • disable the feature to create managed subql projects
• Create a helmchart to help people deploy the whole stack
  • indexer proxy
  • coordinator
  • ipfs
  • ingress

I have created a Helm chart that .

try this https://github.com/Faizalhidayat/subquery-helm-chart.git

Hi @Faizalhidayat ,
Thank you for your efforts in resolving this issue. We will schedule a detailed review of the Helm charts soon. As for the task, it should also fix the compatibility issues mentioned above. Will you contribute to these?

[Faizalhidayat]

Thank you for your appreciation and for considering me for this task. I’m glad to hear that a detailed review of the Helm charts is being scheduled.

[jamesbayly]

@Faizalhidayat you are on the right track, but we need you to complete the listed compatibility issues before we can start reviewing.

Without fixing these issues, these helm charts will not work correctly

Fix compatibility issues

• find another way to show coordinator’s std output or disable it
• disable the feature to create managed subql projects

[Faizalhidayat]

i already update my helm chart following issue above

[icezohu]

Hi, @Faizalhidayat

• find another way to show coordinator’s std output or disable it
  we show coordinator and index node std output through docker sock, which is displaying on the admin UI. I think k8s does not allow to expose its admin interface to a coodinator pod. I think the simple way is to hide them in admin UI.

• disable the feature to create managed subql projects
  creating a subql project will throw error in k8s pod, as you may know, we used to create container through docker sock. The simple way is to reject create subql projects when input subql cid into the admin UI field.

i already update the helm chart if any error please reply

[Faizalhidayat]

Any update ?? @icezohu ? @jamesbayly ?

[Faizalhidayat]

@icezohu please?

[icezohu]

@Faizalhidayat Sorry for the delay. I need to ask you again, that do you want to contribute to code change of the coordinator app network-indexer-services/apps/indexer-coordinator, to support compatibility of kubernetes deploy?

[icezohu]

Sorry, according to my prev suggestion, the code should be more related to the frontend app code at network-indexer-services/apps/indexer-admin

[Faizalhidayat]

So i must focus on frontend right ??

[icezohu]

Yes, or may be including backend part as well. That may require more of the project background knowledge. Try if you can. Tell us if it's difficult for you to implement.

[Faizalhidayat]

lets point this task .

1. Fix compatibility issues
   find another way to show coordinator’s std output or disable it
   disable the feature to create managed subql projects on network-indexer-services/apps/indexer-admin , right?

2.Create a helmchart to help people deploy the whole stack
indexer proxy
coordinator
ipfs
ingress

its different task , right ?

[Faizalhidayat]

@icezohu can you answer my question above

[icezohu]

@Faizalhidayat Yes, they are different. We just release a new version of coordinator yesterday, which supports adding self hosted subquery projects. I think it's better to provide a startup parameter in coordinator/typescript just to disable adding coordinator hosted subquery projects and disable coordinator logs.
Btw, is your helm charts tested well? I can't start it up straightforwardly or after some tweaking. And also the startup command you provided in readme is not correct, though this does not really matter.

[Faizalhidayat]

last question

1.find another way to show coordinator’s std output or disable it
disable the feature to create managed subql projects
on https://github.com/subquery/network-indexer-services , right?

   ipfs
   ingress
