Kubernetes Deployment on RIA Docs

Configurations

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Helm is a standard tool used to manage Kubernetes applications, and the Helm chart defines how applications are deployed to Kubernetes. RIA Helm chart contains the default deployment configurations, which are specified in the values.yaml file.

Database

Add the database information that has been initialized. For more information, see Initialize Database.

global:
secretData: 
   DB_PASSWORD: "SOME_PASSWORD"
   DB_USERNAME: "SOME_USERNAME"
configmapData:
   DB_URL: "jdbc:postgresql://DB_SERVER:5432/DB_NAME

Helm initdb pre-install webhook

Our helm chart also supports on the fly initialization of database during installation. However, this would require you to provide a Super Admin credentials. The initdb will create the database, roles, schemas and load the data to the PostgreSQL server.

Prerequisites

PostgreSQL Client

Ensure the psql command-line tool is installed and available in your system’s PATH.
Zip Utility

Ensure you have a tool to extract .zip files (e.g., unzip).
Permissions

The database user must have sufficient privileges to: - Connect to the PostgreSQL server. - Create a new database (if it does not exist). - Execute the SQL scripts.

Steps to Run the Script

Locate the db-init.zip file.
Extract the contents to a directory of your choice. This will create a db-init directory containing the script and SQL files.
```
unzip db-init.zip -d db-init
```
Navigate to the directory where the files were extracted.
```
cd db-init
```
Ensure the run_scripts.sh script is executable.
```
chmod +x run_scripts.sh
```
Execute the script.
```
./run_scripts.sh
```
When prompted, provide the following details:
- Database Name — Name of the database to connect to or create.
- Database Host — Hostname or IP address of the PostgreSQL server.
- Database User — Username to connect to the PostgreSQL server. The user should have access to create user,roles,schemas, and database.
- Database Password — Password for the specified user.

Example Execution

$ ./run_scripts.sh
Enter database name: testautomationdb
Enter database host: 10.101.2.101
Enter database user: postgres
Enter database password: ********
Testing connectivity to the database server...

Database

Our helm chart supports external and containerized PostgreSQL.

Containerized PostgreSQL

This is enabled by default. The PostgreSQL will be installed on the cluster as part of the riaapps helm chart.


database:
  postgresql:
    enabled: true
    # To set a default storage class for the PostgreSQL database,
    uncomment the line below and set the desired storage class.
    # If not set, the default storage class of the cluster will be used.
    # global:
    # defaultStorageClass: ""
    # To use an existing PersistentVolumeClaim for the PostgreSQL
    database, uncomment the lines below and set the name of the existing
    claim.
    # If you want to use a PersistentVolumeClaim, ensure that the claim
    exists in the same namespace as the PostgreSQL deployment.
    # Default size is set to 100Gi, but you can adjust it as needed.
    # primary:
    #   persistence:
    #     enabled: true
    #     existingClaim: ""
    #     size: 100Gi

database.postgresql.global.defaultStorageClass — storage class to be used for persistent storage of PostgreSQL and backup.
database.postgresql.primary.existingClaim — existing PVC in the cluster.
database.postgresql.primary.size — size of the PVC.

External PostgreSQL database

To initialize and use an external PostgreSQL database for your Test Automation, use the following configuration.
