TYPO3 on Kubekanvas: Scalable, Persistent, and High-Performance
🛠 Template Overview
This template provides a production-ready blueprint for deploying a highly available TYPO3 ecosystem. It automates the setup of the CMS, its database, and a high-speed caching layer, ensuring your website is performant and resilient from day one.
Architecture Components:
- TYPO3 App: A scalable Deployment using the latest v13 image, pre-configured for PHP-Apache.
- MariaDB: A StatefulSet for reliable, persistent relational data storage.
- Redis: A dedicated caching layer to offload heavy TYPO3 cache tables and sessions from the disk to memory.
- HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler): Automatically scales your TYPO3 web workers from 1 to 5 replicas based on real-time CPU demand.
- Persistence: Persistent Volume Claims (PVC) ensure that your
/fileadminassets survive pod restarts and upgrades. - Ingress: Pre-configured Nginx Ingress routing to provide clean URL access to your TYPO3 frontend and backend.
Stop Writing YAML, Start Designing
Kubernetes doesn't have to be a wall of text. KubeKanvas is a visual IDE for Kubernetes that transforms complex infrastructure into an interactive design board.
- Drag-and-Drop: Build your TYPO3 resources visually rather than manually typing every line of YAML.
- One-Click Deploy: Push your designs directly to EKS, AKS, GKE, or local Docker Desktop clusters.
🚀 Quick Start with KubeKanvas
- Launch the Template: Click the Get started with this template button above.
- Visualize & Edit: Use the KubeKanvas interface to tweak HPA thresholds, adjust memory limits, or add Redis replicas visually. To see the platform in action, check out how KubeKanvas works.
- Deploy: Connect your cluster and use the integrated dashboard to deploy the entire TYPO3 stack in seconds.
📄 Manual YAML Configuration
If you prefer the command line, ensure you have a Namespace and Secrets ready, then apply the manifest:
kubectl apply -f typo3-stack.yaml
Prerequisite: Metrics Server The Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) requires metrics to function. If your cluster doesn't have it (common on local setups), install it via: Install Metrics Server
Resource Breakdown:
This stack resides in the typo3-project Namespace for logical isolation. It includes a MariaDB StatefulSet for data integrity, a Redis StatefulSet for performance, a TYPO3 Deployment with integrated Resource Limits, and an Ingress rule to route traffic to your domain or localhost.
🔍 Debugging Tips
- Check Pulse: Use
kubectl describe pod -n typo3-projectto troubleshoot mounting or scaling issues. - View Logs: Use
kubectl logs -l app=typo3-app -n typo3-projectto debug PHP or database connection errors. - Scale Test: Run a load test to watch the HPA spin up new pods automatically when CPU hits 70%.
