This chart is not maintained by the upstream project and any issues with the chart should be raised here

Requirements

Kubernetes: >=1.16.0-0

Dependencies

Repository	Name	Version
https://library-charts.k8s-at-home.com	common	4.5.2

TL;DR

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

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name pod-gateway

helm install pod-gateway k8s-at-home/pod-gateway

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall the pod-gateway deployment

helm uninstall pod-gateway

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 pod-gateway \
  --set env.TZ="America/New York" \
    k8s-at-home/pod-gateway

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

helm install pod-gateway k8s-at-home/pod-gateway -f values.yaml

Custom configuration

Please check this guide for the full instructions.

You need to add routed-gateway=true to the namespaces with PODs you want to route through this POD gateway. If needed the label name can be changed in .Values.

The webhook by default changes all processed pods (remove --setGatewayDefault if you want to change the default). You can also change the default for a POD by adding a label or annotation (setGateway by default).

Processed PODs will get their default gateway changed. DNS server will also be set to the gateway (at least the option --keepDNS is used).

If you want to use the VPN please follow the common chart VPN sidecar docummentation. If you want to test without VPN client you can set the VPN_BLOCK_OTHER_TRAFFIC to false.

IMPORTANT: Do not deploy this chart to a namespace controlled by this webhook. This would result in a likelly deathlock when upgrading the chart.

NOTE: This char requires the cert-manager CRD to generate the required certificates. It does not install it as dependency to avoid conflicts.

Values

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

Key	Type	Default	Description
DNS	string	"172.16.0.1"	IP address of the DNS server within the vxlan tunnel. All mutated PODs will get this as their DNS server. It must match VXLAN_GATEWAY_IP in settings.sh
DNSPolicy	string	"None"	The DNSPolicy to apply to the POD. Only when set to "None" will the DNS value above apply. To avoid altering POD DNS (i.e., to allow initContainers to use DNS before the the VXLAN is up), set to "ClusterFirst"
addons	object	{"vpn":{"enabled":false,"networkPolicy":{"egress":[{"ports":[{"port":1194,"protocol":"UDP"}],"to":[{"ipBlock":{"cidr":"0.0.0.0/0"}}]},{"to":[{"ipBlock":{"cidr":"10.0.0.0/8"}}]}],"enabled":true},"type":"openvpn"}}	IP: 10 ports: - type: udp port: 18289 - type: tcp port: 18289
addons.vpn.enabled	bool	false	Enable the VPN if you want to route through a VPN. You might also want to set VPN_BLOCK_OTHER_TRAFFIC to true for extra safeness in case the VPN does connect
addons.vpn.networkPolicy	object	{"egress":[{"ports":[{"port":1194,"protocol":"UDP"}],"to":[{"ipBlock":{"cidr":"0.0.0.0/0"}}]},{"to":[{"ipBlock":{"cidr":"10.0.0.0/8"}}]}],"enabled":true}	wireguard: env: configFileSecret: openvpn
clusterName	string	"cluster.local"	cluster name used to derive the gateway full name
image.pullPolicy	string	"IfNotPresent"	image pull policy of the gateway and inserted helper cotainers
image.repository	string	"ghcr.io/k8s-at-home/pod-gateway"	image repository of the gateway and inserted helper containers
image.tag	string	chart.appVersion	image tag of the gateway and inserted helper containers
publicPorts	string	nil	settings to expose ports, usually through a VPN provider. NOTE: if you change it you will need to manually restart the gateway POD
routed_namespaces	list	[]	Namespaces that might contain routed PODs and therefore require a copy of the gneerated settings configmap.
settings.DNS_LOCAL_CIDRS	string	"local"	DNS queries to these domains will be resolved by K8S DNS instead of the default (typcally the VPN client changes it)
settings.NOT_ROUTED_TO_GATEWAY_CIDRS	string	""	IPs not sent to the POD gateway but to the default K8S. Multiple CIDRs can be specified using blanks as separator. Example for Calico: ""172.22.0.0/16 172.24.0.0/16" This is needed, for example, in case your CNI does not add a non-default rule for the K8S addresses (Flannel does).
settings.VPN_BLOCK_OTHER_TRAFFIC	bool	false	Prevent non VPN traffic to leave the gateway
settings.VPN_INTERFACE	string	"tun0"	If using a VPN, interface name created by it
settings.VPN_LOCAL_CIDRS	string	"10.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/16"	Traffic to these IPs will be send through the K8S gateway
settings.VPN_TRAFFIC_PORT	int	1194	If VPN_BLOCK_OTHER_TRAFFIC is true, allow VPN traffic over this port
settings.VXLAN_GATEWAY_FIRST_DYNAMIC_IP	int	20	Keep a range of IPs for static assignment in nat.conf
settings.VXLAN_ID	int	42	Vxlan ID to use
settings.VXLAN_IP_NETWORK	string	"172.16.0"	VXLAN needs an /24 IP range not conflicting with K8S and local IP ranges
webhook	object	See below	The webhook is used to mutate the PODs matching the given namespace labels. It inserts an init and sidecard helper containers that connect to the gateway pod created by this chart.
webhook.gatewayAnnotation	string	"setGateway"	annotation name to check when evaluating POD. If true the POD will get the gateway. If not set setGatewayDefault will apply.
webhook.gatewayDefault	bool	true	default behviour for new PODs in the evaluated namespace
webhook.gatewayLabel	string	"setGateway"	label name to check when evaluating POD. If true the POD will get the gateway. If not set setGatewayDefault will apply.
webhook.image.pullPolicy	string	"IfNotPresent"	image pullPolicy of the webhook
webhook.image.repository	string	"ghcr.io/k8s-at-home/gateway-admision-controller"	image repository of the webhook
webhook.image.tag	string	"v3.5.0"	image tag of the webhook
webhook.namespaceSelector	object	{"custom":{},"label":"routed-gateway","type":"label"}	Selector for namespace. All pods in this namespace will get evaluated by the webhook. IMPORTANT: Do not select the namespace where the webhook is deployed to or you will get locking issues.
webhook.replicas	int	1	number of webhook instances to deploy
webhook.strategy	object	{"type":"RollingUpdate"}	strategy for updates
