# MongoDB Sharded

[MongoDB Sharded](https://www.mongodb.com/) is a cross-platform document-oriented database. Classified as a NoSQL database, MongoDB eschews the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas, making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster.

This chart uses the [sharding method](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/sharding/) for distributing data across multiple machines. This is meant for deployments with very large data sets and high throughput operations.

## TL;DR;

```bash
$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
$ helm install my-release bitnami/mongodb-sharded
```

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps a [MongoDB Sharded](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb-sharded) 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. This chart has been tested to work with NGINX Ingress, cert-manager, fluentd and Prometheus on top of the [BKPR](https://kubeprod.io/).

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.12+
- Helm 2.12+ or Helm 3.0-beta3+
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
- ReadWriteMany volumes for deployment scaling

## Installing the Chart

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

```bash
$ helm install my-release bitnami/mongodb-sharded
```

The command deploys MongoDB on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#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:

```bash
$ helm delete my-release
```

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

## Parameters

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the MongoDB chart and their default values.

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

```bash
$ helm install my-release \
  --set mongodbRootPassword=secretpassword,mongodbUsername=my-user,mongodbPassword=my-password,mongodbDatabase=my-database \
    bitnami/mongodb-sharded
```

The above command sets the MongoDB `root` account password to `secretpassword`. Additionally, it creates a standard database user named `my-user`, with the password `my-password`, who has access to 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 my-release -f values.yaml bitnami/mongodb-sharded
```

> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)

## Configuration and installation details

### [Rolling VS Immutable tags](https://docs.bitnami.com/containers/how-to/understand-rolling-tags-containers/)

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 and horizontal scaling

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.

- Increase shards to 4:
```diff
- shards: 2
+ shards: 4
```

- Increase config server replicaset sive:
```diff
- configsvr.replicas: 1
+ configsvr.replicas: 3
```

- Increase data nodes per shard:
```diff
- shardsvr.dataNode.replicas: 1
+ shardsvr.dataNode.replicas: 2
```

- Enable arbiter node on each shard:
```diff
- shardsvr.arbiter.replicas: 0
+ shardsvr.arbiter.replicas: 1
```

- Start a side-car prometheus exporter:
```diff
- metrics.enabled: false
+ metrics.enabled: true
```

### Change MongoDB version

To modify the MongoDB version used in this chart you can specify a [valid image tag](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/mongodb-sharded/tags/) using the `image.tag` parameter. For example, `image.tag=X.Y.Z`. This approach is also applicable to other images like exporters.

### Sharding

This chart deploys a sharded cluster by default. Some characteristics of this chart are:

- It allows HA by enabling replication on the shards and the config servers. The mongos instances can be scaled horizontally as well.
- The number of secondary and arbiter nodes can be scaled out independently.

### Initialize a fresh instance

The [Bitnami MongoDB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb-sharded) image allows you to use your custom scripts to initialize a fresh instance. You can create a custom config map and give it via `initScriptsCM`(check options for more details).

The allowed extensions are `.sh`, and `.js`.

### Sidecars and Init Containers

If you have a need for additional containers to run within the same pod as Kibana (e.g. an additional metrics or logging exporter), you can do so via the `sidecars` config parameter (available in the `mongos`, `shardsvr.dataNode`, `shardsvr.arbiter`, `configsvr` and `common` sections). Simply define your container according to the Kubernetes container spec.

```yaml
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.

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

### Adding extra environment variables

In case you want to add extra environment variables (useful for advanced operations like custom init scripts), you can use the `extraEnvVars` (available in the `mongos`, `shardsvr.dataNode`, `shardsvr.arbiter`, `configsvr` and `common` sections) property.

```yaml
extraEnvVars:
  - name: MONGODB_VERSION
    value: 4.0
```

Alternatively, you can use a ConfigMap or a Secret with the environment variables. To do so, use the `extraEnvVarsCM` or the `extraEnvVarsSecret` values.

### Using an external config server

It is possible to not deploy any shards or a config server. For example, it is possible to simply deploy `mongos` instances that point to an external MongoDB sharded database. If that is the case, set the `configsvr.external.host` and `configsvr.external.replicasetName` for the mongos instances to connect. For authentication, set the `configsvr.external.rootPassword` and `configsvr.external.replicasetKey` values.

## Persistence

The [Bitnami MongoDB](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mongodb-sharded) image stores the MongoDB data and configurations at the `/bitnami/mongodb` path of the container.

The chart mounts a [Persistent Volume](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/) at this location. The volume is created using dynamic volume provisioning.

### 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`.

### Adding extra volumes

The Bitnami Kibana chart supports mounting extra volumes (either PVCs, secrets or configmaps) by using the `extraVolumes` and `extraVolumeMounts` properties (available in the `mongos`, `shardsvr.dataNode`, `shardsvr.arbiter`, `configsvr` and `common` sections). This can be combined with advanced operations like adding extra init containers and sidecars.
