Kubernetes deployment via Helm

Helm chart to deploy a fully functional and secure bitwarden_rs application in Kubernetes.

Requirements

Requires a Kubernetes cluster setup, with dns, storage and Helm and Tiller configured.

A cluster for testing, can be setup (on Ubuntu) using:

snap install microk8s --classic
microk8s.start
microk8s.status --wait-ready
microk8s.enable dns dashboard
microk8s.status --wait-ready
snap install helm --classic
helm init --wait

Usage

The minimal deployment using all default values;

DOMAIN=bitwarden.yourdomain.com
helm install --wait --set "ingress.hosts={$DOMAIN},ingress.tls[0].hosts={$DOMAIN},ingress.tls[0].secretName=bitwarden-tls-secret" .

This will setup bitwarden_rs with a persistent storage and a backup volume, with backups being shot at 3:00 every night.

HTTPS certificates will automatically be generated using Let's Encrypt and HTTPS will be terminated at the Ingress Controller. This assumes that a Kubernetes NGINX Ingress Controller is running, and that cert-manager has been set up and configured. See here (ingress) and here (cert-manager) for examples on how to set either up.

If you do not have Ingress and cert-manager set up, you can disable ingressing completely, by deploying with:

helm install --wait --set "ingress.enabled=false"

You will however need another way to access the bitwarden pod, for instance via port-forwarding:

export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=bitwarden" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
kubectl port-forward $POD_NAME 31111:80

Removal

To remove the installation run:

helm delete --purge $(helm list | grep "bitwarden" | cut -f1)

Configuration

Several konfiguration options are available, they can be seen in values.yaml, and override like above using --set or using --values, see more here.
