LibreTranslate Helm Chart

This Helm chart deploys a LibreTranslate instance on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Prerequisites

Setup helm chart repository

helm repo add libretranslate https://libretranslate.github.io/helm-chart/
helm repo update
helm search repo libretranslate

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name libretranslate: 

helm install libretranslate libretranslate/libretranslate --namespace libretranslate --create-namespace

This command deploys LibreTranslate on the Kubernetes cluster with the default configuration. The values.yaml file lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the libretranslate deployment:

helm uninstall libretranslate
kubectl delete namespace libretranslate

These commands remove all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

See values.yaml for the full list of parameters that can be configured. You can specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example, 

helm install libretranslate libretranslate/libretranslate --namespace libretranslate --create-namespace --set service.port=8080

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

helm install libretranslate libretranslate/libretranslate --namespace libretranslate --create-namespace -f values.yaml

Upgrade

Run the following command to upgrade your LibreTranslate installation. This command will use the Helm chart, apply the custom values from values.yaml, and deploy the upgrade to the libretranslate namespace: 

helm upgrade --install libretranslate libretranslate/libretranslate --namespace libretranslate -f values.yaml

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml
