PrestaShop

PrestaShop is a popular open source ecommerce solution. Professional tools are easily accessible to increase online sales including instant guest checkout, abandoned cart reminders and automated Email marketing.

TL;DR;

$ helm install stable/prestashop

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a PrestaShop deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

It also packages the Bitnami MariaDB chart which is required for bootstrapping a MariaDB deployment for the database requirements of the PrestaShop application.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.5+ with Beta APIs enabled
• PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install --name my-release stable/prestashop

The command deploys PrestaShop on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the PrestaShop chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
image	PrestaShop image	bitnami/prestashop:{VERSION}
imagePullPolicy	Image pull policy	Always if image tag is latest, else IfNotPresent
prestashopHost	PrestaShop host to create application URLs	nil
prestashopLoadBalancerIP	loadBalancerIP for the PrestaShop Service	nil
prestashopUsername	User of the application	user@example.com
prestashopPassword	Application password	random 10 character long alphanumeric string
prestashopEmail	Admin email	user@example.com
prestashopFirstName	First Name	Bitnami
prestashopLastName	Last Name	Name
smtpHost	SMTP host	nil
smtpPort	SMTP port	nil
smtpUser	SMTP user	nil
smtpPassword	SMTP password	nil
smtpProtocol	SMTP protocol [ssl, tls]	nil
mariadb.mariadbRootPassword	MariaDB admin password	nil
serviceType	Kubernetes Service type	LoadBalancer
persistence.enabled	Enable persistence using PVC	true
persistence.apache.storageClass	PVC Storage Class for Apache volume	nil (uses alpha storage class annotation)
persistence.apache.accessMode	PVC Access Mode for Apache volume	ReadWriteOnce
persistence.apache.size	PVC Storage Request for Apache volume	1Gi
persistence.prestashop.storageClass	PVC Storage Class for PrestaShop volume	nil (uses alpha storage class annotation)
persistence.prestashop.accessMode	PVC Access Mode for PrestaShop volume	ReadWriteOnce
persistence.prestashop.size	PVC Storage Request for PrestaShop volume	8Gi
resources	CPU/Memory resource requests/limits	Memory: 512Mi, CPU: 300m

The above parameters map to the env variables defined in bitnami/prestashop. For more information please refer to the bitnami/prestashop image documentation.

Note:

For PrestaShop to function correctly, you should specify the prestashopHost parameter to specify the FQDN (recommended) or the public IP address of the PrestaShop service.

Optionally, you can specify the prestashopLoadBalancerIP parameter to assign a reserved IP address to the PrestaShop service of the chart. However please note that this feature is only available on a few cloud providers (f.e. GKE).

To reserve a public IP address on GKE:

$ gcloud compute addresses create prestashop-public-ip

The reserved IP address can be associated to the PrestaShop service by specifying it as the value of the prestashopLoadBalancerIP parameter while installing the chart.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release \
  --set prestashopUsername=admin,prestashopPassword=password,mariadb.mariadbRootPassword=secretpassword \
    stable/prestashop

The above command sets the PrestaShop administrator account username and password to admin and password respectively. Additionally it sets the MariaDB root user password to secretpassword.

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

$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/prestashop

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml

Persistence

The Bitnami PrestaShop image stores the PrestaShop data and configurations at the /bitnami/prestashop and /bitnami/apache paths of the container.

Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube. See the Configuration section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.
