chore(chart): Update appVersion in helm chart (#19653)

Sheogorath authored 2 years ago

This patch updates the helm chart appVersion to the current release and
removes the additional definition in the image tag field, to reduce
duplication.

Since the image will automatically default to the Charts' app version
anyway and this is the more common place to specifiy application
versions for helm charts, this patch switches the prefering this field.

The reason why to use the tag field for the chart itself, seems to be
gone. Since renovatebot is no longer used.

Introduction

This is a Helm chart for installing Mastodon into a Kubernetes cluster. The basic usage is:

edit values.yaml or create a separate yaml file for custom values
helm dep update
helm install --namespace mastodon --create-namespace my-mastodon ./ -f path/to/additional/values.yaml

This chart has been tested on Helm 3.0.1 and above.

Configuration

The variables that must be configured are:

password and keys in the mastodon.secrets, postgresql, and redis groups; if left blank, some of those values will be autogenerated, but will not persist across upgrades.
SMTP settings for your mailer in the mastodon.smtp group.

Administration

You can run admin CLI commands in the web deployment.

kubectl -n mastodon exec -it deployment/mastodon-web -- bash
tootctl accounts modify admin --reset-password

or

kubectl -n mastodon exec -it deployment/mastodon-web -- tootctl accounts modify admin --reset-password

Missing features

Currently this chart does not support:

Hidden services
Swift

Upgrading

Because database migrations are managed as a Job separate from the Rails and Sidekiq deployments, it’s possible they will occur in the wrong order. After upgrading Mastodon versions, it may sometimes be necessary to manually delete the Rails and Sidekiq pods so that they are recreated against the latest migration.
