EJBCA Helm chart

A Helm chart is a higher-level abstraction that enables you to manage a group of related containers as a single unit. The EJBCA Helm chart can be leveraged by both Community and Enterprise users. It is a Helm chart that can get you started quickly and also support production-ready deployments.

How to get started

This tutorial will show you how to use minikube and Helm to quickly start running EJBCA in Kubernetes. It will also show you how to install the EJBCA Helm and configure deployments by customizing the Helm chart configuration file. It will also demonstrate connecting a deployment to an external database, using the bitnami/mariadb Helm chart as an example.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

  • Use the EJBCA Helm chart from the Keyfactor Helm chart repository
  • Deploy EJBCA as an ephemeral testing instance in Kubernetes using Helm
  • Connect EJBCA running in Kubernetes to an external database for data persistence

Prerequisites

 
  • Kubernetes cluster
    • Minikube is used in the tutorial

Tools installed: 

  • Helm
  • kubectl

Please note the EJBCA Helm Repo has been moved, you need to skip the Helm add command in the video tutorial and instead  do the

helm pull oci://repo.keyfactor.com/charts/ejbca-ce (or install/upgrade)
