GreptimeDB Operator

Overview

The GreptimeDB Operator manages GreptimeDB clusters on Kubernetes by using Operator pattern.

The GreptimeDB operator abstract the model of maintaining the high available GreptimeDB cluster, you can create you own cluster as easy as possible:

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: greptime.io/v1alpha1
kind: GreptimeDBCluster
metadata:
  name: basic
spec:
  base:
    main:
      image: greptime/greptimedb
  frontend:
    replicas: 1
  meta:
    replicas: 1
    etcdEndpoints:
      - "etcd.default:2379"
  datanode:
    replicas: 3
EOF

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.18 or higher version is required

  You can use kind to create your own Kubernetes cluster:

  kind create cluster
  

  If you want to deploy Kubernetes with local registry, you can use the following commands:

  make kind-up
  

  It will create the cluster with 3 nodes and local registry.

• kubectl

  You can download the kubectl tool from the page.

• Helm

  You can follow the guide to install Helm.

Quick start

You can use Helm chart of greptimedb-operator in helm-charts to start your operator quickly.

Development

About make targets

We can use make to handle most development, you can use the targets that list by the following command:

make help

Run operator on host

1. Install the CRDs:

   make install
   

2. Run the operator on your host(make sure your Kubernetes is ready):

   make run
   

Deploy operator on self-managed Kubernetes

1. Build the image of operator

   make docker-build-operator
   

   the default image URL is:

   localhost:5001/greptime/greptimedb-operator:latest
   

   You can prefer your registry and tag:

   make docker-build-operator IMAGE_REPO=<your-image-repo> IMAGE_TAG=<your-image-tag>
   

   Note: If you use the IMAGE_REPO or IMAGE_TAG in make docker-build-operator, you also have to use them again in the following command.

2. Push the image

   make docker-push-operator
   

3. Deploy the operator in your self-managed Kubernetes

   make deploy
   

   The operator will deploy in greptimedb-operator-system namespace:

   kubectl get pod -n greptimedb-operator-system
   NAME                                   READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   greptimedb-operator-7b4496c84d-bpwbm   1/1     Running   0          76s
   

   If you want to delete the deployment, you can:

   make undeploy
   

If you want to build greptimedb-initializer which it's the init-container to process the initialization(for example: allocating node id for datanode), you can use the following commands that similar to above:

# Building initializer.
make initializer

# Building initializer image, also can use IMAGE_REPO and IMAGE_NAME.
make docker-build-initializer

# Pushing initializer image, also can use IMAGE_REPO and IMAGE_NAME.
make docker-push-initializer

Testing

1. Run unit test

   make test
   

2. Run e2e test

   make e2e
