# phpBB
[phpBB](https://www.phpbb.com/) is an Internet forum package written in the PHP scripting language. The name "phpBB" is an abbreviation of PHP Bulletin Board.
## TL;DR
```console
$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
$ helm install my-release bitnami/phpbb
```
## Introduction
This chart bootstraps a [phpBB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-phpbb) 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 phpBB 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 2.12+ 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/phpbb
```
The command deploys phpBB 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.

The above parameters map to the env variables defined in [bitnami/phpbb](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-phpbb). For more information please refer to the [bitnami/phpbb](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-phpbb) image documentation.
Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,
```console
$ helm install my-release \
--set phpbbUsername=admin,phpbbPassword=password,mariadb.mariadbRootPassword=secretpassword \
bitnami/phpbb
```
The above command sets the phpBB 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/phpbb
```
> **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 without TLS
For using ingress (example without TLS):
```console
ingress.enabled=True
ingress.hosts[0]=phpbb.domain.com
serviceType=ClusterIP
phpbbUsername=admin
phpbbPassword=password
mariadb.mariadbRootPassword=secretpassword
```
These are the *3 mandatory parameters* when *Ingress* is desired: `ingress.enabled=True`, `ingress.hosts[0]=phpbb.domain.com` and `serviceType=ClusterIP`
### Ingress TLS
If your cluster allows automatic creation/retrieval of TLS certificates (e.g. [kube-lego](https://github.com/jetstack/kube-lego)), please refer to the documentation for that mechanism.
To manually configure TLS, first create/retrieve a key & certificate pair for the address(es) you wish to protect. Then create a TLS secret (named `phpbb-server-tls` in this example) in the namespace. Include the secret's name, along with the desired hostnames, in the Ingress TLS section of your custom `values.yaml` file:
```yaml
ingress:
## If true, phpBB server Ingress will be created
##
enabled: true
## phpBB server Ingress annotations
##
annotations: {}
# kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
# kubernetes.io/tls-acme: 'true'
## phpBB server Ingress hostnames
## Must be provided if Ingress is enabled
##
hosts:
- phpbb.domain.com
## phpBB server Ingress TLS configuration
## Secrets must be manually created in the namespace
##
tls:
- secretName: phpbb-server-tls
hosts:
- phpbb.domain.com
```
## Persistence
The [Bitnami phpBB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-phpbb) image stores the phpBB data and configurations at the `/bitnami/phpbb` and `/bitnami/apache` paths of the container.
Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, vpshere, and minikube.
See the [Parameters](#parameters) section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.
You may want to review the [PV reclaim policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/change-pv-reclaim-policy/) and update as required. By default, it's set to delete, and when phpBB is uninstalled, data is also removed.
## Upgrading
### To 8.0.0
The [Bitnami phpBB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-phpbb) image was migrated to a "non-root" user approach. Previously the container ran as the `root` user and the Apache daemon was started as the `daemon` user. From now on, both the container and the Apache daemon run as user `1001`. You can revert this behavior by setting the parameters `containerSecurityContext.runAsUser` to `root`.
Consequences:
- The HTTP/HTTPS ports exposed by the container are now `8080/8443` instead of `80/443`.
- Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed.
To upgrade to `8.0.0`, backup phpBB data and the previous MariaDB databases, install a new phpBB chart and import the backups and data, ensuring the `1001` user has the appropriate permissions on the migrated volume.
This upgrade also adapts the chart to the latest Bitnami good practices. Check the Parameters section for more information.
### 7.0.0
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/pull/17307 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 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 phpbb:
```console
$ kubectl patch deployment phpbb-phpbb --type=json -p='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/selector/matchLabels/chart"}]'
$ kubectl delete statefulset phpbb-mariadb --cascade=false
```
