How to reapply traefik install in existing cluster?

[jeff1985]

I have accidentially deleted the traefik deployment. How can I recreate it?

I tried changing traefik_values, but the deployment object still is not created after terraform apply. Any ideas?

@jeff1985 You need to delete the helm chart and apply again. Grab it with kubectl get helmchart -A to find the exact name, and then dump it with -o yaml, then delete and apply again (all with kubectl).

Thanks for clarification!

I ended with extracting the values from helmchart to separate file and then installed the helm release via terraform:
resource "helm_release" "traefik" {
name = "traefik"
chart = "traefik"

  repository = "https://traefik.github.io/charts"
  namespace = "traefik"

  values = [
    file("${path.module}/traefik-values.yaml")
  ]
}

This gives me the flexibility to edit any value and then have terraform reapply the values or recreate the release if needed.

Great, also keep in mind that you can use helmchatconfig definitions too. https://docs.k3s.io/helm
