Description

I wanted to know if its possible for me to integrate velero functionality into a database related chart such as mongodb or postgres. How would you go about doing this as I would like to test this. Thanks.

What steps did you take and what happened: None so far. Still planning it out.

What did you expect to happen: Install the bitnami/charts/postgresql or bitnami/charts/mongodb with Velero integrated in the chart. With this the user will set the Velero cloud credentials and backp pod Annotations in the values.yaml file ahead of time so when they perform a helm install of the database chart it will automatically begin schedule backups to the desired location.

Environment: AWS environment

  • helm version (use helm version): 3.2.2.
  • Kubernetes version (use kubectl version): 1.17
  • Cloud provider or hardware configuration: AWS

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the Velero Helm chart structure and include it as a subchart in your database chart. Use Helm dependencies to inject Velero with custom values for cloud credentials and backup pod annotations. Test by installing the combined chart on a Kubernetes cluster.
