# Phabricator

[Phabricator](https://www.phacility.com) is a collection of open source web applications that help software companies build better software. Phabricator is built by developers for developers. Every feature is optimized around developer efficiency for however you like to work. Code Quality starts with an effective collaboration between team members.

## TL;DR;

```console
$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
$ helm install my-release bitnami/phabricator
```

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps a [Phabricator](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-phabricator) deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

It also packages the [Bitnami MariaDB chart](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/bitnami/mariadb) which is required for bootstrapping a MariaDB deployment for the database requirements of the Phabricator application.

Bitnami charts can be used with [Kubeapps](https://kubeapps.com/) for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters. This chart has been tested to work with NGINX Ingress, cert-manager, fluentd and Prometheus on top of the [BKPR](https://kubeprod.io/).

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.12+
- Helm 2.11+ or Helm 3.0-beta3+
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
- ReadWriteMany volumes for deployment scaling

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
$ helm install my-release bitnami/phabricator
```

The command deploys Phabricator on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:

```console
$ helm delete my-release
```

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

## Parameters

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

The above parameters map to the env variables defined in [bitnami/phabricator](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-phabricator). For more information please refer to the [bitnami/phabricator](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-phabricator) image documentation.

> **Note**:
>
> For Phabricator to function correctly, you should specify the `phabricatorHost` parameter to specify the FQDN (recommended) or the public IP address of the Phabricator service.
>
> Optionally, you can specify the `phabricatorLoadBalancerIP` parameter to assign a reserved IP address to the Phabricator service of the chart. However please note that this feature is only available on a few cloud providers (f.e. GKE).
>
> To reserve a public IP address on GKE:
>
> ```bash
> $ gcloud compute addresses create phabricator-public-ip
> ```
>
> The reserved IP address can be associated to the Phabricator service by specifying it as the value of the `phabricatorLoadBalancerIP` parameter while installing the chart.

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

```console
$ helm install my-release \
  --set phabricatorUsername=admin,phabricatorPassword=password,mariadb.mariadbRootPassword=secretpassword \
  bitnami/phabricator
```

The above command sets the Phabricator administrator account username and password to `admin` and `password` respectively. Additionally, it sets the MariaDB `root` user password to `secretpassword`.

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

```console
$ helm install my-release -f values.yaml bitnami/phabricator
```

> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)

## Configuration and installation details

### [Rolling VS Immutable tags](https://docs.bitnami.com/containers/how-to/understand-rolling-tags-containers/)

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

### Ingress with Reverse Proxy and cert-manager

You can define a custom ingress rule for Phabricator with TLS certificates auto-generated by cert-manager using the following parameters:

```console
ingress.enabled=true
ingress.certManager=true
ingress.hosts[0].name=phabricator.example.com
ingress.tls[0].hosts[0]=phabricator.example.com
phabricatorHost=example.com
```

Everything looks great but requests over https will cause asset requests to fail. Assuming you want to use HTTPS/TLS you will need to set the base-uri to an https schema.

## Persistence

The [Bitnami Phabricator](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-phabricator) image stores the Phabricator data and configurations at the `/bitnami/phabricator` path of the container.

Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. There is a [known issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/39178) in Kubernetes Clusters with EBS in different availability zones. Ensure your cluster is configured properly to create Volumes in the same availability zone where the nodes are running. Kuberentes 1.12 solved this issue with the [Volume Binding Mode](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/#volume-binding-mode).

See the [Parameters](#parameters) section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.

## Upgrading

### To 9.0.0

Helm performs a lookup for the object based on its group (apps), version (v1), and kind (Deployment). Also known as its GroupVersionKind, or GVK. Changing the GVK is considered a compatibility breaker from Kubernetes' point of view, so you cannot "upgrade" those objects to the new GVK in-place. Earlier versions of Helm 3 did not perform the lookup correctly which has since been fixed to match the spec.

In https://github.com/helm/charts/pulls/17305 the `apiVersion` of the deployment resources was updated to `apps/v1` in tune with the api's deprecated, resulting in compatibility breakage.

This major version signifies this change.

### To 7.0.0

Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed. The following notables changes were included:

- Labels are adapted to follow the Helm charts best practices.
- The parameters `persistence.phabricator.storageClass`, `persistence.phabricator.accessMode`, and `persistence.phabricator.size` switch to `persistence.storageClass`, `persistence.accessMode`, and `persistence.size`.
- The way of setting the ingress rules has changed. Instead of using `ingress.paths` and `ingress.hosts` as separate objects, you should now define the rules as objects inside the `ingress.hosts` value, for example:

```yaml
ingress:
  hosts:
  - name: phabricator.local
    path: /
```

### To 3.0.0

Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed unless you modify the labels used on the chart's deployments.
Use the workaround below to upgrade from versions previous to 3.0.0. The following example assumes that the release name is opencart:

```console
$ kubectl patch deployment opencart-opencart --type=json -p='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/selector/matchLabels/app"}]'
$ kubectl delete statefulset opencart-mariadb --cascade=false
```
