WildFly
Wildfly formerly known as JBoss AS, or simply JBoss, is an application server authored by JBoss, now developed by Red Hat. WildFly is written in Java, and implements the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) specification.
TL;DR;
$ helm install bitnami/wildfly
Introduction
This chart bootstraps a WildFly deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.
Bitnami charts can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.
Prerequisites
- Kubernetes 1.4+ with Beta APIs enabled
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
Installing the Chart
To install the chart with the release name my-release:
$ helm install --name my-release bitnami/wildfly
The command deploys WildFly on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration 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:
$ helm delete my-release
The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
Configuration
The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the WildFly chart and their default values.
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
global.registry |
Global chart image registry | nil |
image.registry |
WildFly image registry | docker.io |
image.repository |
WildFly Image name | bitnami/wildfly |
image.tag |
WildFly Image tag | {VERSION} |
image.pullPolicy |
WildFly image pull policy | Always if imageTag is latest, else IfNotPresent |
image.pullSecrets |
Specify image pull secrets | nil (does not add image pull secrets to deployed pods) |
wildflyUsername |
WildFly admin user | user |
wildflyPassword |
WildFly admin password | random 10 character alphanumeric string |
serviceType |
Kubernetes Service type | LoadBalancer |
persistence.enabled |
Enable persistence using PVC | true |
persistence.storageClass |
PVC Storage Class for WildFly volume | nil (uses alpha storage class annotation) |
persistence.accessMode |
PVC Access Mode for WildFly volume | ReadWriteOnce |
persistence.size |
PVC Storage Request for WildFly volume | 8Gi |
resources |
CPU/Memory resource requests/limits | Memory: 512Mi, CPU: 300m |
The above parameters map to the env variables defined in bitnami/wildfly. For more information please refer to the bitnami/wildfly image documentation.
Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,
$ helm install --name my-release \
--set wildflyUser=manager,wildflyPassword=password \
bitnami/wildfly
The above command sets the WildFly management username and password to manager and password respectively.
Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml bitnami/wildfly
Tip
: You can use the default values.yaml
Persistence
The Bitnami WildFly image stores the WildFly data and configurations at the /bitnami/wildfly path of the container.
Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube. See the Configuration section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.
Upgrading
To 1.0.0
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 1.0.0. The following example assumes that the release name is wildfly:
$ kubectl patch deployment wildfly --type=json -p='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/selector/matchLabels/chart"}]'
