Rucio is a software framework that provides functionality to organize, manage, and access large volumes of scientific data using customisable policies. The data can be spread across globally distributed locations and across heterogeneous data centers, uniting different storage and network technologies as a single federated entity. Rucio offers advanced features such as distributed data recovery or adaptive replication, and is highly scalable, modular, and extensible. Rucio has been originally developed to meet the requirements of the high-energy physics experiment ATLAS, and is continuously extended to support LHC experiments and other diverse scientific communities.
This repository contains Helm Charts for the major different components of Rucio (https://rucio.cern.ch), the Rucio server, daemons, probes, and the Rucio WebUI. Helm (https://helm.sh) helps you manage Kubernetes applications. Helm Charts help you define, install, and upgrade Kubernetes applications. Further, Helm Charts can be combined with Flux (https://fluxcd.io) to fully implement GitOps. Just push to Git and Flux does the rest.
Add the Rucio Helm repository to your local Helm installation then you can install the Rucio server like so.
$ helm repo add rucio https://rucio.github.io/helm-charts
$ helm install rucio/rucio-server
The latest chart version is always recommended for use with the latest Rucio version. The Rucio Helm Chart versions are correlated with Rucio versions at the minor verion level; each product follows it's own patch versioning. I. e., Helm Chart 1.27.1 contains Helm improvements over chart 1.27.0 and both are compatible with any Rucio 1.27.Z release.
Developers: Please make pull requests for charts for the current Rucio version against the main or master branch.
Fixes which are relevant to previous versions may also have pull requests made against the relevant release-X.Y (e.g. release-1.26) branch.
Patches against old, non-LTS Rucio releases will be accepted, but no effort will be made to make sure all fixes are made.
For LTS releases (currently 1.23.Z and 1.26.Z), the charts for those releases should be kept up to date.
For details on installing a particular chart, see the README.md in that portion of this repository.
