๐Ÿคน Usage

A minimal custom resource for a 3 node CrateDB cluster may look like this:

dev-cluster.yaml:

.. code-block:: yaml

apiVersion: cloud.crate.io/v1 kind: CrateDB metadata: name: my-cluster namespace: dev spec: cluster: imageRegistry: crate name: crate-dev version: 5.2.5 nodes: data: - name: hot replicas: 3 resources: limits: cpu: 4 memory: 4Gi disk: count: 1 size: 128GiB storageClass: default heapRatio: 0.5

.. code-block:: console

$ kubectl --namespace dev create -f dev-cluster.yaml ...

$ kubectl --namespace dev get cratedbs NAMESPACE NAME AGE dev my-cluster 36s

Please note that the minimum version of CrateDB that the operator supports is 4.5. Previous versions might work, but the operator will not attempt to set a license.

๐ŸŽ‰ Features

  • "all equal nodes" cluster setup
  • "master + data nodes" cluster setup
  • safe scaling of clusters
  • safe rolling version upgrades for clusters
  • SSL for HTTP and PG connections via Let's Encrypt certificate
  • custom node settings
  • custom cluster settings
  • custom storage classes
  • region/zone awareness for AWS and Azure

๐Ÿ’ฝ Installation

Installation with Helm

To be able to deploy the custom resource CrateDB to a Kubernetes cluster, the API needs to be extended with a Custom Resource Definition (CRD). It can be installed separately by installing the CRD Helm Chart_ or as a dependency of the Operator Helm Chart_.

.. code-block:: console

helm repo add crate-operator https://crate.github.io/crate-operator helm install crate-operator crate-operator/crate-operator

To override the environment variables from values.yaml, please refer to the configuration documentation_.

Installation with kubectl

To be able to deploy the custom resource CrateDB to a Kubernetes cluster, the API needs to be extended with a Custom Resource Definition (CRD). The CRD for CrateDB can be found in the deploy/ folder and can be applied (assuming sufficient privileges).

.. code-block:: console

$ kubectl apply -f deploy/crd.yaml customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/cratedbs.cloud.crate.io created

Once the CRD is installed, the operator itself can be deployed using a Deployment in the crate-operator namespace.

.. code-block:: console

$ kubectl create namespace crate-operator ... $ kubectl create -f deploy/rbac.yaml ... $ kubectl create -f deploy/deployment.yaml ...

Please refer to the configuration documentation_ for further details.

Please refer to the Working on the operator_ section of the documentation.
