Install Percona Server for MongoDB on OpenShift¶
Percona Operator for Percona Server for MongoDB is a Red Hat Certified Operator. This means that Percona Operator is portable across hybrid clouds and fully supports the Red Hat OpenShift lifecycle.
Installing Percona Server for MongoDB on OpenShift includes two steps:
- Installing the Percona Operator for MongoDB,
- Install Percona Server for MongoDB using the Operator.
Install the Operator¶
You can install Percona Operator for MongoDB on OpenShift using the Red Hat Marketplace web interface or using the command line interface.
Install the Operator via the Red Hat Marketplace¶
- login to the Red Hat Marketplace and register your cluster following the official instructions.
-
Go to the Percona Operator for MongoDB page and click the Free trial button:
Here you can “purchase” the Operator for 0.0 USD.
-
When finished, chose
Workspace->Software
in the system menu on the top and choose the Operator:Click the
Install Operator
button.
Install the Operator via the command-line interface¶
-
Clone the percona-server-mongodb-operator repository:
$ git clone -b v1.14.0 https://github.com/percona/percona-server-mongodb-operator $ cd percona-server-mongodb-operator
Note
It is crucial to specify the right branch with
-b
option while cloning the code on this step. Please be careful. -
The Custom Resource Definition for Percona Server for MongoDB should be created from the
deploy/crd.yaml
file. The Custom Resource Definition extends the standard set of resources which Kubernetes “knows” about with the new items, in our case these items are the core of the operator.This step should be done only once; it does not need to be repeated with other deployments.
Apply it as follows:
$ oc apply --server-side -f deploy/crd.yaml
Note
Setting Custom Resource Definition requires your user to have cluster-admin role privileges.
If you want to manage Percona Server for MongoDB cluster with a non-privileged user, the necessary permissions can be granted by applying the next clusterrole:
$ oc create clusterrole psmdb-admin --verb="*" --resource=perconaservermongodbs.psmdb.percona.com,perconaservermongodbs.psmdb.percona.com/status,perconaservermongodbbackups.psmdb.percona.com,perconaservermongodbbackups.psmdb.percona.com/status,perconaservermongodbrestores.psmdb.percona.com,perconaservermongodbrestores.psmdb.percona.com/status $ oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user psmdb-admin <some-user>
If you have a cert-manager installed, then you have to execute two more commands to be able to manage certificates with a non-privileged user:
$ oc create clusterrole cert-admin --verb="*" --resource=iissuers.certmanager.k8s.io,certificates.certmanager.k8s.io $ oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cert-admin <some-user>
-
Create a new
psmdb
project:$ oc new-project psmdb
-
Add role-based access control (RBAC) for Percona Server for MongoDB is configured with the
deploy/rbac.yaml
file. RBAC is based on clearly defined roles and corresponding allowed actions. These actions are allowed on specific Kubernetes resources. The details about users and roles can be found in OpenShift documentation.$ oc apply -f deploy/rbac.yaml
-
Start the Operator within OpenShift:
$ oc apply -f deploy/operator.yaml
Install Percona Server for MongoDB¶
-
Add the MongoDB Users secrets to OpenShift. These secrets should be placed as plain text in the stringData section of the
deploy/secrets.yaml
file as login name and passwords for the user accounts (see Kubernetes documentation for details).After editing the yaml file, the secrets should be created with the following command:
$ oc create -f deploy/secrets.yaml
More details about secrets can be found in Users.
-
Now certificates should be generated. By default, the Operator generates certificates automatically, and no actions are required at this step. Still, you can generate and apply your own certificates as secrets according to the TLS instructions.
-
Percona Server for MongoDB cluster can be created at any time with the following steps:
-
Uncomment the
deploy/cr.yaml
field#platform:
and edit the field toplatform: openshift
. The result should be like this:apiVersion: psmdb.percona.com/v1alpha1 kind: PerconaServerMongoDB metadata: name: my-cluster-name spec: platform: openshift ...
-
(optional) In you’re using minishift, please adjust antiaffinity policy to
none
affinity: antiAffinityTopologyKey: "none" ...
-
Create/apply the Custom Resource file:
$ oc apply -f deploy/cr.yaml
The creation process will take time. The process is complete when all Pods have reached their Running status. You can check it with the following command:
$ oc get pods
The result should look as follows:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE my-cluster-name-cfg-0 2/2 Running 0 11m my-cluster-name-cfg-1 2/2 Running 1 10m my-cluster-name-cfg-2 2/2 Running 1 9m my-cluster-name-mongos-0 1/1 Running 0 11m my-cluster-name-mongos-1 1/1 Running 0 11m my-cluster-name-mongos-2 1/1 Running 0 11m my-cluster-name-rs0-0 2/2 Running 0 11m my-cluster-name-rs0-1 2/2 Running 0 10m my-cluster-name-rs0-2 2/2 Running 0 9m percona-server-mongodb-operator-665cd69f9b-xg5dl 1/1 Running 0 37m
-
-
Check connectivity to newly created cluster.
First of all, run a container with a MongoDB client and connect its console output to your terminal. The following command will do this, naming the new Pod
percona-client
:$ oc run -i --rm --tty percona-client --image=percona/percona-server-mongodb:4.4.18-18 --restart=Never -- bash -il
Executing it may require some time to deploy the correspondent Pod. Now run
mongo
tool in the percona-client command shell using the login (which isuserAdmin
) with a proper password obtained from the Secret:percona-client:/$ mongo "mongodb://userAdmin:userAdmin123456@my-cluster-name-mongos.psmdb.svc.cluster.local/admin?ssl=false"
