Static Website

If you want to:

• Publish a web site
• The site is merely static HTML/CSS (i.e. no server-side components)
• You want to (occasionally) upload updates to the site

Then this chart might be for you.

This chart implements:

• A web server to serve your site
• A Kubernetes Ingress resource to make your site available to the outside world
• A PersistentVolumeClaim to store your site files
• A deployment with scp/rsync installed and SSH key-based access.

The idea: Once deployed, you can concentrate on geting the HTML/CSS "right"; you can use rsync to create/update the site contents.

Values

The documentation for the values this chart expects is in values.yaml - to get something basic working you only need to supply a few values - e.g.:

---
ingress:
  dnsNames:
    - www.example.com

rsync:
  service:
    type: LoadBalancer
    annotations:
      external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: sync.www.example.com

  authorizedKeys: |
    ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIOOCqHJInsGdv9dAsVqGMhs4qGjGTyS826AHS8bh9dak yourname@example.com

The exact values you need will probably be different :-)

Prerequisites

You must have a working Ingress Controller - the usual ingress-nginx will work nicely, and others will probably work too.

If you have external-dns installed, it can set up a DNS name for the rsync service according to the external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname annotation.

It helps if you have Cert-Manager installed with a working ClusterIssuer - this will allow the ingress annotation kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true" to handle the SSL certificate automatically. Without this, you need some other method of obtaining an SSL certificate.
