SEAWEEDFS - helm chart (2.x+)

Getting Started

Add the helm repo

helm repo add seaweedfs https://seaweedfs.github.io/seaweedfs/helm

Install the helm chart

helm install seaweedfs seaweedfs/seaweedfs

(Recommended) Provide values.yaml

helm install --values=values.yaml seaweedfs seaweedfs/seaweedfs

Info:

• master/filer/volume are stateful sets with anti-affinity on the hostname, so your deployment will be spread/HA.
• chart is using memsql(mysql) as the filer backend to enable HA (multiple filer instances) and backup/HA memsql can provide.
• mysql user/password are created in a k8s secret (secret-seaweedfs-db.yaml) and injected to the filer with ENV.
• cert config exists and can be enabled, but not been tested, requires cert-manager to be installed.

Prerequisites

Database

leveldb is the default database, this supports multiple filer replicas that will sync automatically, with some limitations.

When the limitations apply, or for a large number of filer replicas, an external datastore is recommended.

Such as MySQL-compatible database, as specified in the values.yaml at filer.extraEnvironmentVars. This database should be pre-configured and initialized by running:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `filemeta` (
  `dirhash`   BIGINT NOT NULL       COMMENT 'first 64 bits of MD5 hash value of directory field',
  `name`      VARCHAR(766) NOT NULL COMMENT 'directory or file name',
  `directory` TEXT NOT NULL         COMMENT 'full path to parent directory',
  `meta`      LONGBLOB,
  PRIMARY KEY (`dirhash`, `name`)
) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_bin;

Alternative database can also be configured (e.g. leveldb, postgres) following the instructions at filer.extraEnvironmentVars.

Node Labels

Kubernetes nodes can have labels which help to define which node(Host) will run which pod:

Here is an example:

• s3/filer/master needs the label sw-backend=true
• volume need the label sw-volume=true

to label a node to be able to run all pod types in k8s:

kubectl label node YOUR_NODE_NAME sw-volume=true,sw-backend=true

on production k8s deployment you will want each pod to have a different host, especially the volume server and the masters, all pods (master/volume/filer) should have anti-affinity rules to disallow running multiple component pods on the same host.

If you still want to run multiple pods of the same component (master/volume/filer) on the same host please set/update the corresponding affinity rule in values.yaml to an empty one:

## PVC - storage class ###

On the volume stateful set added support for k8s PVC, currently example
with the simple local-path-provisioner from Rancher (comes included with k3d / k3s)
https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner

you can use ANY storage class you like, just update the correct storage-class
for your deployment.

## current instances config (AIO):

1 instance for each type (master/filer+s3/volume)

You can update the replicas count for each node type in values.yaml,
need to add more nodes with the corresponding labels if applicable.

Most of the configuration are available through values.yaml any pull requests to expand functionality or usability are greatly appreciated. Any pull request must pass [chart-testing](https://github.com/helm/chart-testing).

## S3 configuration

To enable an s3 endpoint for your filer with a default install add the following to your values.yaml:

yaml filer: s3:

enabled: true

### Enabling Authentication to S3

To enable authentication for S3, you have two options:

- let the helm chart create an admin user as well as a read only user
- provide your own s3 config.json file via an existing Kubernetes Secret

#### Use the default credentials for S3

Example parameters for your values.yaml:

yaml filer: s3:

enabled: true
enableAuth: true

#### Provide your own credentials for S3

Example parameters for your values.yaml:

yaml filer: s3:

enabled: true
enableAuth: true
existingConfigSecret: my-s3-secret

Example existing secret with your s3 config to create an admin user and readonly user, both with credentials:

yaml

Source: seaweedfs/templates/seaweedfs-s3-secret.yaml

apiVersion: v1 kind: Secret type: Opaque metadata: name: my-s3-secret namespace: seaweedfs labels:

app.kubernetes.io/name: seaweedfs
app.kubernetes.io/component: s3

stringData: # this key must be an inline json config file seaweedfs_s3_config: '{"identities":[{"name":"anvAdmin","credentials":[{"accessKey":"snu8yoP6QAlY0ne4","secretKey":"PNzBcmeLNEdR0oviwm04NQAicOrDH1Km"}],"actions":["Admin","Read","Write"]},{"name":"anvReadOnly","credentials":[{"accessKey":"SCigFee6c5lbi04A","secretKey":"kgFhbT38R8WUYVtiFQ1OiSVOrYr3NKku"}],"actions":["Read"]}]}' ```
