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 install stable/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.

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes 1.10+
  • PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

Installing the Chart

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

$ helm install --name my-release stable/mariadb

The command deploys MariaDB on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The 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:

$ 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 --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,

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

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml

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, 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 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.

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

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:

$ 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:

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