Custom Resource options

The operator is configured via the spec section of the deploy/cr.yaml file.

metadata

The metadata part of this file contains the following keys:

  • name (my-cluster-name by default) sets the name of your Percona Server for MongoDB Cluster; it should include only URL-compatible characters , not exceed 22 characters, start with an alphabetic character, and end with an alphanumeric character
  • finalizers.delete-psmdb-pods-in-order if present, activates the Finalizer which controls the proper Pods deletion order in case of the cluster deletion event (on by default)
  • finalizers.delete-psmdb-pvc if present, activates the Finalizer which deletes appropriate Persistent Volume Claims after the cluster deletion event (off by default)

Toplevel spec elements

The spec part of the deploy/cr.yaml file contains the following keys and sections:

platform

Override/set the Kubernetes platform: kubernetes or openshift.

Value type Example
string kubernetes

pause

Pause/resume: setting it to true gracefully stops the cluster, and setting it to false after shut down starts the cluster back.

Value type Example
boolean false

unmanaged

Unmanaged site in cross-site replication: setting it to true forces the Operator to run the cluster in unmanaged state - nodes do not form replica sets, operator does not control TLS certificates.

Value type Example
boolean false

crVersion

Version of the Operator the Custom Resource belongs to.

Value type Example
string 1.16.2

image

The Docker image of Percona Server for MongoDB to deploy (actual image names can be found in the list of certified images).

Value type Example
string percona/percona-server-mongodb:6.0.15-12

imagePullPolicy

The policy used to update images .

Value type Example
string Always

imagePullSecrets.name

The Kubernetes ImagePullSecret to access the custom registry.

Value type Example
string private-registry-credentials

initImage

ClusterServiceDNSSuffix

The (non-standard) cluster domain to be used as a suffix of the Service name.

Value type Example
string svc.cluster.local

clusterServiceDNSMode

Can be internal (local fully-qualified domain names will be used in replset configuration even if the replset is exposed - the default value), external (exposed MongoDB instances will use ClusterIP addresses, should be applied with caution) or ServiceMesh (turned on for the exposed Services). Being set, ServiceMesh value suprecedes multiCluster settings, and therefore these two modes cannot be combined together.

Value type Example
string Internal

allowUnsafeConfigurations

Prevents users from configuring a cluster with unsafe parameters: starting it with less than 3 replica set instances, with an even number of replica set instances without additional arbiter, or without TLS/SSL certificates, or running a sharded cluster with less than 3 config server Pods or less than 2 mongos Pods (if false, the Operator will automatically change unsafe parameters to safe defaults). After switching to unsafe configurations permissive mode you will not be able to switch the cluster back by setting spec.allowUnsafeConfigurations key to false, the flag will be ignored. This option is deprecated and will be removed in future releases. Use unsafeFlags subsection instead

Value type Example

Value type Example
string svc.clusterset.local

Unsafe flags section

The unsafeFlags section in the deploy/cr.yaml file contains various configuration options to prevent users from configuring a cluster with unsafe parameters. After switching to unsafe configurations permissive mode you will not be able to switch the cluster back by setting same keys to false, the flags will be ignored.

Value type Example
boolean true

‘tls.issuerConf.name’

A cert-manager issuer name .

Value type Example
string special-selfsigned-issuer

‘tls.issuerConf.kind’
