cdk8s-plone 0.0.25

Provides a CMS Plone Backend and Frontend for Kubernetes with cdk8s

CMS Plone Chart for CDK8S

This chart provides a library to bootstrap a Plone deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the CDK8S framework.

It provides

• Backend (for API with plone.volto or as Classic-UI)
• Frontend (Plone-Volto, a ReactJS based user interface)
• Varnish using kube-httpcache. It includes a way to invalidate varnish cluster (optional)

Typescript

To use this library, create a new CDK8S project (or use an existing one)

cdk8s init typescript-app

Then add the following dependency to package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@bluedynamics/cdk8s-plone": "*"
  }
}

Run npm install to install the new dependency.

Python

Todo: Document in details how to install.

cdk8s init python-app

Python package name is cdk8s-plone.

Usage

With cdk8s-cli installed, create a new project:

cdk8s sythn

Add the following code to your main.ts:

...
import { Plone } from '@bluedynamics/cdk8s-plone';
...
    super(scope, id, props);

    // define resources here
    new Plone(this, 'Plone', {});
...

Run npm run build to generate the Kubernetes manifests. The manifests are stored in the dist directory.

For more have a look at the example project.

Development

Clone the repository and install the dependencies:

</code></pre>
<p>nvm use lts/*
npm install yarn
projen</p>
<pre><code>
Then run the following command to run the test:

```bash
npx projen test
