Requirements

Kubernetes: >=1.16.0-0

Dependencies

Repository	Name	Version
https://library-charts.k8s-at-home.com	common	4.4.1

TL;DR

helm repo add k8s-at-home https://k8s-at-home.com/charts/
helm repo update
helm install ser2sock k8s-at-home/ser2sock

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name ser2sock

helm install ser2sock k8s-at-home/ser2sock

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall the ser2sock deployment

helm uninstall ser2sock

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart including persistent volumes and deletes the release.

Configuration

Read through the values.yaml file. It has several commented out suggested values. Other values may be used from the values.yaml from the common library.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install.

helm install ser2sock \
  --set env.TZ="America/New York" \
    k8s-at-home/ser2sock

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart.

helm install ser2sock k8s-at-home/ser2sock -f values.yaml

Custom configuration

IMPORTANT NOTE: a ser2sock controller device must be accessible on the node where this pod runs, in order for this chart to function properly.

First, you will need to mount your ser2sock device into the pod, you can do so by adding the following to your values. Be sure to modify the values according to your requirements!

persistence:
  usb:
    enabled: true
    type: hostPath
    mountPath: /dev/ttyUSB0  # This is an optional field, and defaults to the value of `hostPath`
    hostPath: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT230X_Basic_UART_DO00DPTS-if00-port0
    # hostPathType: CharDevice

Second you will need to set a nodeAffinity rule, for example:

affinity:
  nodeAffinity:
    requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
      nodeSelectorTerms:
      - matchExpressions:
        - key: app
          operator: In
          values:
          - ser2sock-controller

... where a node with an attached ser2sock controller USB device is labeled with app: ser2sock-controller

Values

Important: When deploying an application Helm chart you can add more values from our common library chart here

Key	Type	Default	Description
affinity	object	{}	Affinity constraint rules to place the Pod on a specific node. [ref]
env	object	See below	environment variables. See image docs for more details.
env.BAUD_RATE	int	115200	Serial device baud rate
env.LISTENER_PORT	string	"{{ .Values.service.main.ports.server.port }}"	Port where ser2sock listens
env.SERIAL_DEVICE	string	"{{ .Values.persistence.usb.mountPath }}"	Path to the serial device
env.TZ	string	"UTC"	Set the container timezone
image.pullPolicy	string	"Always"	image pull policy
image.repository	string	"tenstartups/ser2sock"	image repository
image.tag	string	"latest"	image tag
ingress.main	object	See values.yaml	Enable and configure ingress settings for the chart under this key.
persistence	object	See values.yaml	Configure persistence settings for the chart under this key.
persistence.usb	object	See values.yaml	Configure a hostPathMount to mount a USB device in the container.
securityContext.privileged	bool	nil	Privileged securityContext may be required if USB controller is accessed directly through the host machine
service	object	See values.yaml	Configures service settings for the chart.
