TL;DR

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

Introduction

This chart bootstraps an Apache Geode cluster 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 1.19+
• Helm 3.2.0+
• PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

Installing the Chart

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

helm install my-release my-repo/geode

The command deploys geode 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.

Configuration and installation details

Architecture

This chart an Apache Geode cluster including a locator statefulset with N Locator nodes, and a server statefulset with M Cache server nodes. The schema below represents the architecture when you used an Ingress controller to expose the Apache Geode Pulse dashboard:

 ---------------                         ---------------

Note: when using several Locator nodes, it is recommended to configure sticky sessions using --set locator.service.sessionAffinity="ClientIP" or configuring the IngressController accordingly to access the Pulse monitoring dashboard.

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.

Ingress

This chart provides support for Ingress resources. If you have an ingress controller installed on your cluster, such as nginx-ingress-controller or contour you can utilize the ingress controller to serve your application.

To enable Ingress integration, set ingress.enabled to true. The ingress.hostname property can be used to set the host name. The ingress.tls parameter can be used to add the TLS configuration for this host. It is also possible to have more than one host, with a separate TLS configuration for each host. Learn more about configuring and using Ingress.

TLS secrets

The chart also facilitates the creation of TLS secrets for use with the Ingress controller, with different options for certificate management. Learn more about TLS secrets.

Additional environment variables

In case you want to add extra environment variables (useful for advanced operations like custom init scripts), you can use the XXX.extraEnvVars parameter(s).

locator:
  extraEnvVars:
    - name: LOG_LEVEL
      value: error

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

Note: XXX is placeholder you need to replace with the actual component(s).

Sidecars

If additional containers are needed in the same pod as geode (such as additional metrics or logging exporters), they can be defined using the XXX.sidecars parameter(s). If these sidecars export extra ports, extra port definitions can be added using the XXX.service.extraPorts parameter. Learn more about configuring and using sidecar containers.

Note: XXX is placeholder you need to replace with the actual component(s).

Pod affinity

This chart allows you to set your custom affinity using the XXX.affinity parameter(s). Find more information about Pod affinity in the kubernetes documentation.

As an alternative, use one of the preset configurations for pod affinity, pod anti-affinity, and node affinity available at the bitnami/common chart. To do so, set the XXX.podAffinityPreset, XXX.podAntiAffinityPreset, or XXX.nodeAffinityPreset parameters.

Note: XXX is placeholder you need to replace with the actual component(s).

Persistence

The Bitnami geode image stores the geode data and configurations at the /bitnami/geode path of the container. Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments.

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.
