Step 2: Add a Preflight Spec to the Chart

Create a preflight specification that fails if the cluster is running a version of Kubernetes earlier than 1.23.0, and add the specification to the Gitea chart as a Kubernetes Secret.

To add a preflight specification to the Gitea chart:

  1. In the gitea/templates directory, create a gitea-preflights.yaml file:

    touch templates/gitea-preflights.yaml

  2. In the gitea-preflights.yaml file, add the following YAML to create a Kubernetes Secret with a preflight check specification:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      labels:
        troubleshoot.sh/kind: preflight
      name: gitea-preflight-checks
    stringData:
      preflight.yaml: |
        apiVersion: troubleshoot.sh/v1beta2
        kind: Preflight
        metadata:
          name: gitea-preflight-checks
        spec:
          analyzers:
            - clusterVersion:
                outcomes:
                  - fail:
                      when: "< 1.23.0"
                      message: |-
                        Your cluster is running a version of Kubernetes that is not supported and your installation will not succeed. To continue, upgrade your cluster to Kubernetes 1.23.0 or later.
                      uri: https://www.kubernetes.io
                  - pass:
                      message: Your cluster is running the required version of Kubernetes.

    The YAML above defines a preflight check that fails if the target cluster is running a version of Kubernetes earlier than 1.23.0. The preflight check also includes a message to the user that describes the failure and lists the required Kubernetes version. The troubleshoot.sh/kind: preflight label is required to run preflight checks defined in Secrets.

  3. In the Gitea Chart.yaml file, add the Replicated SDK as a dependency:

    # Chart.yaml
    dependencies:
    - name: replicated
      repository: oci://registry.replicated.com/library
      version: 1.0.0-beta.31

    For the latest version information for the Replicated SDK, see the replicated-sdk repository in GitHub.

    The SDK is installed as a small service running alongside your application, and provides an in-cluster API that you can use to embed Replicated features into your application.

  4. Update dependencies and package the chart to a .tgz chart archive:

    helm package . --dependency-update
    note

    If you see a 401 Unauthorized error message, log out of the Replicated registry by running helm registry logout registry.replicated.com and then run helm package . --dependency-update again.
