# MariaDB [MariaDB](https://mariadb.org) is one of the most popular database servers in the world. It’s 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 ```bash $ helm install stable/mariadb ``` ## Introduction This chart bootstraps a [MariaDB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb) replication cluster deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager. Bitnami charts can be used with [Kubeapps](https://kubeapps.com/) for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters. ## Prerequisites - Kubernetes 1.10+ - PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure ## Installing the Chart To install the chart with the release name `my-release`: ```bash $ helm install --name my-release stable/mariadb ``` The command deploys MariaDB on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [configuration](#configuration) 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: ```bash $ helm delete my-release ``` The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release. ## Configuration The following table lists the configurable parameters of the MariaDB chart and their default values. | Parameter | Description | Default | |-------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------| | `global.imageRegistry` | Global Docker image registry | `nil` | | `image.registry` | MariaDB image registry | `docker.io` | | `image.repository` | MariaDB Image name | `bitnami/mariadb` | | `image.tag` | MariaDB Image tag | `{VERSION}` | | `image.pullPolicy` | MariaDB image pull policy | `Always` if `imageTag` is `latest`, else `IfNotPresent` | | `image.pullSecrets` | Specify docker-registry secret names as an array | `[]` (does not add image pull secrets to deployed pods) | | `image.debug` | Specify if debug logs should be enabled | `false` | | `service.type` | Kubernetes service type | `ClusterIP` | | `service.clusterIp` | Specific cluster IP when service type is cluster IP.

[bitnami/mariadb](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb). For more information please refer to the [bitnami/mariadb](http://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb) image documentation. Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example, ```bash $ helm install --name my-release \ --set root.password=secretpassword,user.database=app_database \ stable/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, ```bash $ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/mariadb ``` > **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml) ## Initialize a fresh instance The [Bitnami MariaDB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb) image allows you to use your custom scripts to initialize a fresh instance. In order to execute the scripts, they must be located inside the chart folder `files/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d` so they can be consumed as a ConfigMap. Alternatively, you can specify custom scripts using the `initdbScripts` parameter as dict. In addition to these options, 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 two previous options. The allowed extensions are `.sh`, `.sql` and `.sql.gz`. ## Persistence The [Bitnami MariaDB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb) image stores the MariaDB data and configurations at the `/bitnami/mariadb` path of the container. The chart mounts a [Persistent Volume](kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/) volume at this location. The volume is created using dynamic volume provisioning, by default. An existing PersistentVolumeClaim can be defined. ## Extra Init Containers The feature allows for specifying a template string for a initContainer in the master/slave pod. Usecases include situations when you need some pre-run setup. For example, in IKS (IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service), non-root users do not have write permission on the volume mount path for NFS-powered file storage. So, you could use a initcontainer to `chown` the mount. See a example below, where we add an initContainer on the master pod that reports to an external resource that the db is going to starting. `values.yaml` ```yaml master: extraInitContainers: | - name: initcontainer image: alpine:latest command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"] args: - curl http://api-service.local/db/starting; ``` ## Upgrading It's necessary to set the `rootUser.password` 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: ```bash $ helm upgrade my-release stable/mariadb --set rootUser.password=[ROOT_PASSWORD] ``` | Note: you need to substitute the placeholder _[ROOT_PASSWORD]_ with the value obtained in the installation notes. ### 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: ```console $ kubectl delete statefulset opencart-mariadb --cascade=false ```
