## TL;DR

```console
docker run --name scylladb bitnami/scylladb:latest
```

You can find the default credentials and available configuration options in the [Environment Variables](#environment-variables) section.

## Why use Bitnami Secure Images?

Those are hardened, minimal CVE images built and maintained by Bitnami. Bitnami Secure Images are based on the cloud-optimized, security-hardened enterprise [OS Photon Linux](https://vmware.github.io/photon/). Why choose BSI images?

- Hardened secure images of popular open source software with Near-Zero Vulnerabilities
- Vulnerability Triage & Prioritization with VEX Statements, KEV and EPSS Scores
- Compliance focus with FIPS, STIG, and air-gap options, including secure bill of materials (SBOM)
- Software supply chain provenance attestation through in-toto
- First class support for the internet’s favorite Helm charts

Each image comes with valuable security metadata. You can view the metadata in [our public catalog here](https://app-catalog.vmware.com/bitnami/apps). Note: Some data is only available with [commercial subscriptions to BSI](https://bitnami.com/).

## Why use a non-root container?

Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers [in our docs](https://docs.bitnami.com/tutorials/work-with-non-root-containers/).

## How to deploy ScyllaDB in Kubernetes?

Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the [Bitnami ScyllaDB Chart GitHub repository](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/scylladb).

## Supported tags and respective `Dockerfile` links

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags [in our documentation page](https://docs.bitnami.com/tutorials/understand-rolling-tags-containers/).

## Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami ScyllaDB Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the [Docker Hub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/scylladb).

```console
docker pull bitnami/scylladb:latest
```

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the [list of available versions](https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/scylladb/tags/) in the Docker Hub Registry.

```console
docker pull bitnami/scylladb:[TAG]
```

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the `docker build` command. Remember to replace the `APP`, `VERSION` and `OPERATING-SYSTEM` path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.

```console
git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
docker build -t bitnami/APP:latest .
```

## Using `docker-compose.yaml`

Please be aware this file has not undergone internal testing. Consequently, we advise its use exclusively for development or testing purposes. For production-ready deployments, we highly recommend utilizing its associated [Bitnami Helm chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/scylladb).

## Persisting your application

If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.

For persistence you should mount a directory at the `/bitnami` path. If the mounted directory is empty, it will be initialized on the first run.

```console
docker run \
    -v /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami \
    bitnami/scylladb:latest
```

or using Docker Compose:

```yaml
scylladb:
  image: bitnami/scylladb:latest
  volumes:
    - /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami
```

> **NOTE** As this is a non-root container, the mounted files and directories must have the proper permissions for the UID `1001`.

## Connecting to other containers

Using [Docker container networking](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/), an ScyllaDB server running inside a container can easily be accessed by your application containers.

Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname.

### Using the Command Line

In this example, we will create an ScyllaDB client instance that will connect to the server instance that is running on the same docker network as the client.

#### Step 1: Create a network

```console
docker network create app-tier --driver bridge
```

#### Step 2: Launch the ScyllaDB server instance

Use the `--network app-tier` argument to the `docker run` command to attach the ScyllaDB container to the `app-tier` network.

```console
docker run -d --name scylladb-server \
    --network app-tier \
    bitnami/scylladb:latest
```

#### Step 3: Launch your ScyllaDB client instance

Finally we create a new container instance to launch the ScyllaDB client and connect to the server created in the previous step:

```console
docker run -it --rm \
    --network app-tier \
    bitnami/scylladb:latest cqlsh --username scylladb --password scylladb scylladb-server
```

### Using a Docker Compose file

When not specified, Docker Compose automatically sets up a new network and attaches all deployed services to that network. However, we will explicitly define a new `bridge` network named `app-tier`. In this example we assume that you want to connect to the ScyllaDB server from your own custom application image which is identified in the following snippet by the service name `myapp`.

```yaml
version: '2'

networks:
  app-tier:
    driver: bridge

services:
  scylladb:
    image: bitnami/scylladb:latest
    networks:
      - app-tier
  myapp:
    image: YOUR_APPLICATION_IMAGE
    networks:
      - app-tier
```

> **IMPORTANT**:
>
> 1. Please update the **YOUR_APPLICATION_IMAGE** placeholder in the above snippet with your application image
> 2. In your application container, use the hostname `scylladb` to connect to the ScyllaDB server

Launch the containers using:

```console
docker-compose up -d
```

Additionally, any environment variable beginning with the following prefix will be mapped to its corresponding ScyllaDB key in the proper file:

- `SCYLLADB_CFG_ENV_`: Will add the corresponding key and the provided value to `scylladb-env.sh`.
- `SCYLLADB_CFG_RACKDC_`: Will add the corresponding key and the provided value to `scylladb-rackdc.properties`.
- `SCYLLADB_CFG_COMMITLOG_`: Will add the corresponding key and the provided value to `commitlog_archiving.properties`.
- `SCYLLADB_CFG_YAML_`: Will add the corresponding key and the provided value to `scylladb.yaml`.

For example, use `SCYLLADB_CFG_RACKDC_PREFER_LOCAL=true` in order to configure `prefer_local` in `scylladb-rackdc.properties`. Or, use `SCYLLADB_CFG_YAML_INTERNODE_COMPRESSION=all` in order to set `internode_compression` to `all` in `scylladb.yaml`.

**NOTE:** Environment variables will be omitted when mounting a configuration file

When you start the scylladb image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the `docker run` command line. If you want to add a new environment variable:

- For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section:

```yaml
scylladb:
  image: bitnami/scylladb:latest
  environment:
    - SCYLLADB_TRANSPORT_PORT_NUMBER=7000
```

- For manual execution add a `-e` option with each variable and value:

```console
 $ docker run --name scylladb -d -p 7000:7000 --network=scylladb_network \
    -e SCYLLADB_TRANSPORT_PORT_NUMBER=7000 \
    -v /your/local/path/bitnami/scylladb:/bitnami \
    bitnami/scylladb
```

### Setting the server password on first run

Passing the `SCYLLADB_PASSWORD` environment variable along with `SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes` when running the image for the first time will set the ScyllaDB server password to the value of `SCYLLADB_PASSWORD`.

```console
docker run --name scylladb \
    -e SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes \
    -e SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=password123 \
    bitnami/scylladb:latest
```

or using Docker Compose:

```yaml
scylladb:
  image: bitnami/scylladb:latest
  environment:
    - SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes
    - SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=password123
```

#### Step 1: Create a new network

```console
docker network create scylladb_network
```

#### Step 2: Create a first node

```console
docker run --name scylladb-node1 \
  --net=scylladb_network \
  -p 9042:9042 \
  -e SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME=scylladb-cluster \
  -e SCYLLADB_SEEDS=scylladb-node1,scylladb-node2 \
  -e SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes \
  -e SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=mypassword \
  bitnami/scylladb:latest
```

In the above command the container is added to a cluster named `scylladb-cluster` using the `SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME`. The `SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_HOSTS` parameter set the name of the nodes that set the cluster so we will need to launch other container for the second node. Finally the `SCYLLADB_NODE_NAME` parameter allows to indicate a known name for the node, otherwise scylladb will generate a random one.

#### Step 3: Create a second node

```console
docker run --name scylladb-node2 \
  --net=scylladb_network \
  -e SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME=scylladb-cluster \
  -e SCYLLADB_SEEDS=scylladb-node1,scylladb-node2 \
  -e SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=mypassword \
  bitnami/scylladb:latest
```

In the above command a new scylladb node is being added to the scylladb cluster indicated by `SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME`.

You now have a two node ScyllaDB cluster up and running which can be scaled by adding/removing nodes.

With Docker Compose the cluster configuration can be setup using:

```yaml
version: '2'
services:
  scylladb-node1:
    image: bitnami/scylladb:latest
    environment:
      - SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME=scylladb-cluster
      - SCYLLADB_SEEDS=scylladb-node1,scylladb-node2
      - SCYLLADB_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes
      - SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=password123

  scylladb-node2:
    image: bitnami/scylladb:latest
    environment:
      - SCYLLADB_CLUSTER_NAME=scylladb-cluster
      - SCYLLADB_SEEDS=scylladb-node1,scylladb-node2
      - SCYLLADB_PASSWORD=password123
```

### Initializing with custom scripts

When the container is executed for the first time, it will execute the files with extensions `.sh`, `.cql` or `.cql.gz` located at `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d` in sort'ed order by filename. This behavior can be skipped by setting the environment variable `SCYLLADB_IGNORE_INITDB_SCRIPTS` to a value other than `yes` or `true`.

In order to have your custom files inside the docker image you can mount them as a volume.

```console
docker run --name scylladb \
  -v /path/to/init-scripts:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d \
  -v /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami
  bitnami/scylladb:latest
```

Or with docker-compose

```yaml
scylladb:
  image: bitnami/scylladb:latest
  volumes:
    - /path/to/init-scripts:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
    - /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami
```

### Configuration file

The image looks for configurations in `/bitnami/scylladb/conf/`. As mentioned in [Persisting your application](#persisting-your-application) you can mount a volume at `/bitnami` and copy/edit the configurations in the `/path/to/scylladb-persistence/scylladb/conf/`. The default configurations will be populated to the `conf/` directory if it's empty.

#### Step 1: Run the ScyllaDB image

Run the ScyllaDB image, mounting a directory from your host.

```console
docker run --name scylladb \
    -v /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami \
    bitnami/scylladb:latest
```

or using Docker Compose:

```yaml
scylladb:
  image: bitnami/scylladb:latest
  volumes:
    - /path/to/scylladb-persistence:/bitnami
```

#### Step 2: Edit the configuration

Edit the configuration on your host using your favorite editor.

```console
vi /path/to/scylladb-persistence/scylladb/conf/scylladb.yaml
```

#### Step 3: Restart ScyllaDB

After changing the configuration, restart your ScyllaDB container for changes to take effect.

```console
docker restart scylladb
```

or using Docker Compose:

```console
docker-compose restart scylladb
```

Refer to the [configuration](http://docs.datastax.com/en/scylladb/3.x/scylladb/configuration/configTOC.html) manual for the complete list of configuration options.

### FIPS configuration in Bitnami Secure Images

The Bitnami ScyllaDB Docker image from the [Bitnami Secure Images](https://go-vmware.broadcom.com/contact-us) catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables:

- `OPENSSL_FIPS`: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. `yes` (default), `no`.

## TLS Encryption

The Bitnami ScyllaDB Docker image allows configuring TLS encryption between nodes and between server-client. This is done by mounting in `/bitnami/scylladb/secrets` two files:

- `keystore`: File with the server keystore
- `truststore`: File with the server truststore

Apart from that, the following environment variables must be set:

- `SCYLLADB_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD`: Password for accessing the keystore.
- `SCYLLADB_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD`: Password for accessing the truststore.
- `SCYLLADB_INTERNODE_ENCRYPTION`: Sets the type of encryption between nodes. The default value is `none`. Can be set to `all`, `none`, `dc` or `rack`.
- `SCYLLADB_CLIENT_ENCRYPTION`: Enables client-server encryption. The default value is `false`.

## Logging

The Bitnami ScyllaDB Docker image sends the container logs to the `stdout`. To view the logs:

```console
docker logs scylladb
```

or using Docker Compose:

```console
docker-compose logs scylladb
```

You can configure the containers [logging driver](https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/logging/overview/) using the `--log-driver` option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the `json-file` driver.
