Introduction

This chart creates a single pod in a StatefulSet running Atlantis. Atlantis persists Terraform plan files and lockfiles to disk for the duration of a Pull/Merge Request. These files are stored in a PersistentVolumeClaim to survive Pod failures.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.9+
• PersistentVolume support

Required Configuration

In order for Atlantis to start and run successfully:

1. At least one of the following sets of credentials must be defined:

   • github
   • gitlab
   • bitbucket
   • azuredevops

   Refer to values.yaml for detailed examples. They can also be provided directly through a Kubernetes Secret, use the variable vcsSecretName to reference it.

2. Supply a value for orgAllowlist, e.g. github.com/myorg/*.

Additional manifests

It is possible to add additional manifests into a deployment, to extend the chart. One of the reason is to deploy a manifest specific to a cloud provider ( BackendConfig on GKE for example ).

extraManifests:
  - apiVersion: cloud.google.com/v1beta1
    kind: BackendConfig
    metadata:
      name: "{{ .Release.Name }}-test"
    spec:
      securityPolicy:
        name: "gcp-cloud-armor-policy-test"

Upgrading

From 2.* to 3.*

• The following value names have been removed. They are replaced by Server-side Repository Configuration
  • requireApproval
  • requireMergeable
  • allowRepoConfig

To replicate your previous configuration, run Atlantis locally with your previous flags and Atlantis will print out the equivalent repo-config, for example:

$ atlantis server --allow-repo-config --require-approval --require-mergeable --gh-user=foo --gh-token=bar --repo-allowlist='*'
WARNING: Flags --require-approval, --require-mergeable and --allow-repo-config have been deprecated.
Create a --repo-config file with the following config instead:

---
repos:
- id: /.*/
  apply_requirements: [approved, mergeable]
  allowed_overrides: [apply_requirements, workflow]
  allow_custom_workflows: true

or use --repo-config-json='{"repos":[{"id":"/.*/", "apply_requirements":["approved", "mergeable"], "allowed_overrides":["apply_requirements","workflow"], "allow_custom_workflows":true}]}'

Then use this YAML in the new repoConfig value:

repoConfig: |
  ---
  repos:
  - id: /.*/
    apply_requirements: [approved, mergeable]
    allowed_overrides: [apply_requirements, workflow]
    allow_custom_workflows: true

From 1.* to 2.*

• The following value names have changed:
  • allow_repo_config => allowRepoConfig
  • atlantis_data_storage => dataStorage NOTE: more than just a snake_case change
  • atlantis_data_storageClass => storageClassName NOTE: more than just a snake_case change
  • bitbucket.base_url => bitbucket.baseURL

Testing the Deployment

To perform a smoke test of the deployment (i.e. ensure that the Atlantis UI is up and running):

1. Install the chart. Supply your own values file or use test-values.yaml, which has a minimal set of values required in order for Atlantis to start.

   helm repo add runatlantis https://runatlantis.github.io/helm-charts
   helm install -f test-values.yaml my-atlantis runatlantis/atlantis --debug

2. Run the tests:

   helm test my-atlantis
