MariaDB

MariaDB is one of the most popular database servers in the world. Its made by the original developers of MySQL and guaranteed to stay open source. Notable users include Wikipedia, Facebook and Google.

MariaDB is developed as open source software and as a relational database it provides an SQL interface for accessing data. The latest versions of MariaDB also include GIS and JSON features.

TL;DR

$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
$ helm install my-release bitnami/mariadb

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a MariaDB replication cluster deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Bitnami charts can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters. This chart has been tested to work with NGINX Ingress, cert-manager, fluentd and Prometheus on top of the BKPR.

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes 1.12+
  • Helm 3.0-beta3+
  • PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install my-release bitnami/mariadb

The command deploys MariaDB on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The Parameters section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip

: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

The above parameters map to the env variables defined in bitnami/mariadb. For more information please refer to the bitnami/mariadb image documentation.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install my-release \
  --set auth.rootPassword=secretpassword,auth.database=app_database \
    bitnami/mariadb

The above command sets the MariaDB root account password to secretpassword. Additionally it creates a database named my_database.

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

$ helm install my-release -f values.yaml bitnami/mariadb

Tip

: You can use the default values.yaml

Configuration and installation details

Rolling VS Immutable tags

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

Production configuration

This chart includes a values-production.yaml file where you can find some parameters oriented to production configuration in comparison to the regular values.yaml. You can use this file instead of the default one.

  • Force users to specify a password and mount secrets as volumes instead of using environment variables:
- auth.forcePassword: false
+ auth.forcePassword: true
- auth.usePasswordFiles: false
+ auth.usePasswordFiles: true
  • Use "replication" architecture:
- architecture: standalone
+ architecture: replication
  • Desired number of secondary replicas:
- secondary.replicaCount: 1
+ secondary.replicaCount: 2
  • Start a side-car prometheus exporter:
- metrics.enabled: false
+ metrics.enabled: true

Change MariaDB version

To modify the MariaDB version used in this chart you can specify a valid image tag using the image.tag parameter. For example, image.tag=X.Y.Z. This approach is also applicable to other images like exporters.

Initialize a fresh instance

The Bitnami MariaDB image allows you to use your custom scripts to initialize a fresh instance. In order to execute the scripts, you can specify custom scripts using the initdbScripts parameter as dict.

In addition to this option, you can also set an external ConfigMap with all the initialization scripts. This is done by setting the initdbScriptsConfigMap parameter. Note that this will override the previous option.

The allowed extensions are .sh, .sql and .sql.gz.

Take into account those scripts are treated differently depending on the extension. While the .sh scripts are executed in all the nodes; the .sql and .sql.gz scripts are only executed in the primary nodes. The reason behind this differentiation is that the .sh scripts allow adding conditions to determine what is the node running the script, while these conditions can't be set using .sql nor sql.gz files. This way it is possible to cover different use cases depending on their needs.

If using a .sh script you want to do a "one-time" action like creating a database, you need to add a condition in your .sh script to be executed only in one of the nodes, such as

initdbScripts:
  my_init_script.sh: |
     #!/bin/sh
     if [[ $(hostname) == *primary* ]]; then
       echo "Primary node"
       mysql -P 3306 -uroot -prandompassword -e "create database new_database";
     else
       echo "No primary node"
     fi     

Sidecars and Init Containers

If you have a need for additional containers to run within the same pod as MariaDB, you can do so via the sidecars config parameter. Simply define your container according to the Kubernetes container spec.

sidecars:
  - name: your-image-name
    image: your-image
    imagePullPolicy: Always
    ports:
      - name: portname
       containerPort: 1234

Similarly, you can add extra init containers using the initContainers parameter.

initContainers:
  - name: your-image-name
    image: your-image
    imagePullPolicy: Always
    ports:
      - name: portname
        containerPort: 1234

Persistence

The Bitnami MariaDB image stores the MariaDB data and configurations at the /bitnami/mariadb path of the container.

The chart mounts a Persistent Volume volume at this location. The volume is created using dynamic volume provisioning, by default. An existing PersistentVolumeClaim can be defined.

Adjust permissions of persistent volume mountpoint

As the image run as non-root by default, it is necessary to adjust the ownership of the persistent volume so that the container can write data into it.

By default, the chart is configured to use Kubernetes Security Context to automatically change the ownership of the volume. However, this feature does not work in all Kubernetes distributions. As an alternative, this chart supports using an initContainer to change the ownership of the volume before mounting it in the final destination.

You can enable this initContainer by setting volumePermissions.enabled to true.

Troubleshooting

Upgrading

It's necessary to set the auth.rootPassword parameter when upgrading for readiness/liveness probes to work properly. When you install this chart for the first time, some notes will be displayed providing the credentials you must use under the 'Administrator credentials' section. Please note down the password and run the command below to upgrade your chart:

$ helm upgrade my-release bitnami/mariadb --set auth.rootPassword=[ROOT_PASSWORD]

| Note: you need to substitute the placeholder [ROOT_PASSWORD] with the value obtained in the installation notes.

To 9.0.0

On November 13, 2020, Helm v2 support was formally finished, this major version is the result of the required changes applied to the Helm Chart to be able to incorporate the different features added in Helm v3 and to be consistent with the Helm project itself regarding the Helm v2 EOL.

What changes were introduced in this major version?

  • Previous versions of this Helm Chart use apiVersion: v1 (installable by both Helm 2 and 3), this Helm Chart was updated to apiVersion: v2 (installable by Helm 3 only). Here you can find more information about the apiVersion field.
  • Move dependency information from the requirements.yaml to the Chart.yaml
  • After running helm dependency update, a Chart.lock file is generated containing the same structure used in the previous requirements.lock
  • The different fields present in the Chart.yaml file has been ordered alphabetically in a homogeneous way for all the Bitnami Helm Charts

Considerations when upgrading to this version

  • If you want to upgrade to this version from a previous one installed with Helm v3, you shouldn't face any issues
  • If you want to upgrade to this version using Helm v2, this scenario is not supported as this version doesn't support Helm v2 anymore
  • If you installed the previous version with Helm v2 and wants to upgrade to this version with Helm v3, please refer to the official Helm documentation about migrating from Helm v2 to v3

Useful links

To 8.0.0

  • Several parameters were renamed or disappeared in favor of new ones on this major version:
    • The terms master and slave have been replaced by the terms primary and secondary. Therefore, parameters prefixed with master or slave are now prefixed with primary or secondary, respectively.
    • securityContext.* is deprecated in favor of primary.podSecurityContext, primary.containerSecurityContext, secondary.podSecurityContext, and secondary.containerSecurityContext.
    • Credentials parameter are reorganized under the auth parameter.
    • replication.enabled parameter is deprecated in favor of architecture parameter that accepts two values: standalone and replication.
  • The default MariaDB version was updated from 10.3 to 10.5. According to the official documentation, upgrading from 10.3 should be painless. However, there are some things that have changed which could affect an upgrade:
  • Chart labels were adapted to follow the Helm charts standard labels.
  • This version also introduces bitnami/common, a library chart as a dependency. More documentation about this new utility could be found here. Please, make sure that you have updated the chart dependencies before executing any upgrade.

Consequences:

Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed. To upgrade to 8.0.0, install a new release of the MariaDB chart, and migrate the data from your previous release. You have 2 alternatives to do so:

  • Create a backup of the database, and restore it on the new release using tools such as mysqldump.
  • Reuse the PVC used to hold the master data on your previous release. To do so, use the primary.persistence.existingClaim parameter. The following example assumes that the release name is mariadb:
$ helm install mariadb bitnami/mariadb --set auth.rootPassword=[ROOT_PASSWORD] --set primary.persistence.existingClaim=[EXISTING_PVC]

| Note: you need to substitute the placeholder [EXISTING_PVC] with the name of the PVC used on your previous release, and [ROOT_PASSWORD] with the root password used in your previous release.

To 7.0.0

Helm performs a lookup for the object based on its group (apps), version (v1), and kind (Deployment). Also known as its GroupVersionKind, or GVK. Changing the GVK is considered a compatibility breaker from Kubernetes' point of view, so you cannot "upgrade" those objects to the new GVK in-place. Earlier versions of Helm 3 did not perform the lookup correctly which has since been fixed to match the spec.

In https://github.com/helm/charts/pull/17308 the apiVersion of the statefulset resources was updated to apps/v1 in tune with the api's deprecated, resulting in compatibility breakage.

This major version bump signifies this change.

To 6.0.0

MariaDB version was updated from 10.1 to 10.3, there are no changes in the chart itself. According to the official documentation, upgrading from 10.1 should be painless. However, there are some things that have changed which could affect an upgrade:

To 5.0.0

Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed unless you modify the labels used on the chart's deployments. Use the workaround below to upgrade from versions previous to 5.0.0. The following example assumes that the release name is mariadb:

$ kubectl delete statefulset opencart-mariadb --cascade=false
