Ethereum Helm Charts

A set of Helm charts to run multiple components of the Ethereum blockchain on Kubernetes.

Deployment examples that use these helm charts can be found under ethpandaops/ethereum-k8s-testnets.

Usage

Helm must be installed to use the charts. Please refer to Helm's documentation to get started.

Once Helm has been set up correctly, add the repo as follows:

helm repo add ethereum-helm-charts https://ethpandaops.github.io/ethereum-helm-charts

If you had already added this repo earlier, run helm repo update to retrieve the latest versions of the packages. You can then run the following command to see the charts.

helm search repo ethereum-helm-charts

To install the ethstats chart:

helm install ethstats ethereum-helm-charts/ethstats

To uninstall the chart:

helm delete ethstats

Development

Prerequisites

• pre-commit - Used to setup pre-commit git hooks
• docker - Used by many Makefile targets

Pre-commit hooks

This repository used pre-commit to manage and run certain git hooks. Hook definitions can be found within the .pre-commit-config.yaml file.

Run the following to add the hooks to your local repository:

make init

Useful commands

The README for every chart is auto generated using helm-docs. This is defined as a pre-commit hook. If you want to run it manually, you can run:

make docs

The CT (Chart Testing) tool is used to lint and validate charts. You can run this via:

make lint
