Overview

Setting up Supabase with Kubernetes and Helm means you’re getting a robust, open-source backend that includes a Postgres database, authentication, storage, plus more cool stuff. Start with a Kubernetes cluster and make sure Helm is up and running on your computer.

Next, bring in the Supabase Helm chart repository, tweak some Helm values so everything clicks with your project's needs, and deploy the stack with Helm commands. This gives a smooth, managed environment perfect for scalable applications. Kubernetes handles the container orchestration, while Helm keeps package management slick and easy.

How to set up Supabase with Kubernetes and Helm?

Step 1: Install Helm

- First, grab the Helm installation script: \`\`\`sh curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get-helm-3 | bash \`\`\` - Then, make sure Helm is installed properly: \`\`\`sh helm version \`\`\`

Step 2: Set Up Kubernetes Cluster

- You need to set up a local Kubernetes cluster. You can use Minikube, k3s, or any cloud provider's Kubernetes service. - To spin up a local cluster with Minikube, just run: \`\`\`sh minikube start \`\`\`

Step 3: Add Supabase Helm Repository

- Add the official Supabase Helm chart repository: \`\`\`sh helm repo add supabase https://supabase.github.io/helm-charts \`\`\` - Update your Helm repositories to get the latest charts: \`\`\`sh helm repo update \`\`\`

Step 4: Create Kubernetes Namespace

- Create a new namespace for your Supabase deployment: \`\`\`sh kubectl create namespace supabase \`\`\`

Step 5: Configure Values for Supabase Helm Chart

- Download the default values file so you can customize it: \`\`\`sh helm show values supabase/supabase > values.yaml \`\`\` - Open up `values.yaml` and tweak the database settings, API keys, and other configurations as needed.

Step 6: Install Supabase with Helm

- Install the Supabase chart using your customized `values.yaml` file: \`\`\`sh helm install supabase supabase/supabase -f values.yaml --namespace supabase \`\`\` - Check that all the pods are up and running: \`\`\`sh kubectl get pods -n supabase \`\`\`

Step 7: Expose Supabase Services

- If you want, you can expose Supabase services externally using a LoadBalancer or NodePort, or set up an Ingress controller: \`\`\`sh kubectl expose deployment supabase-postgres --type=LoadBalancer --name=supabase-postgres-lb -n supabase \`\`\` - Get the external IP address of the LoadBalancer: \`\`\`sh kubectl get service supabase-postgres-lb -n supabase \`\`\`

Step 8: Access Supabase

- Use the external IP and port to access different Supabase services like the API, Studio, etc. - If needed, set up DNS or hostname mappings.

Step 9: Verify Deployment

- Make sure all components like Postgres, Authentication, API, Realtime server, and Storage are running correctly. - Test Supabase’s functionalities by creating a sample table and performing CRUD operations.

Step 10: Monitor and Maintain

- Set up monitoring for your Kubernetes cluster using tools like Prometheus and Grafana. - Regularly update Helm charts and Kubernetes manifests to keep your Supabase deployment secure and performant: \`\`\`sh helm upgrade supabase supabase/supabase -f values.yaml --namespace supabase \`\`\`
