TL;DR

helm install my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/mongodb-sharded

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository.

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a MongoDB(®) Sharded deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Classified as a NoSQL database, MongoDB® eschews the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas, making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster.

This chart uses the sharding method for distributing data across multiple machines. This is meant for deployments with very large data sets and high throughput operations.

Bitnami charts can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes 1.23+
  • Helm 3.8.0+
  • PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
  • ReadWriteMany volumes for deployment scaling

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

helm install my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/mongodb-sharded

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts.

The command deploys MongoDB® on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The Parameters section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Configuration and installation details

Resource requests and limits

Bitnami charts allow setting resource requests and limits for all containers inside the chart deployment. These are inside the resources value (check parameter table). Setting requests is essential for production workloads and these should be adapted to your specific use case.

To make this process easier, the chart contains the resourcesPreset values, which automatically sets the resources section according to different presets. Check these presets in the bitnami/common chart. However, in production workloads using resourcePreset is discouraged as it may not fully adapt to your specific needs. Find more information on container resource management in the official Kubernetes documentation.

Rolling VS Immutable tags

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

Change MongoDB® version

To modify the MongoDB® version used in this chart you can specify a valid image tag using the image.tag parameter. For example, image.tag=X.Y.Z. This approach is also applicable to other images like exporters.

Sharding

This chart deploys a sharded cluster by default. Some characteristics of this chart are:

  • It allows HA by enabling replication on the shards and the config servers. The mongos instances can be scaled horizontally as well.
  • The number of secondary and arbiter nodes can be scaled out independently.

Initialize a fresh instance

The Bitnami MongoDB® image allows you to use your custom scripts to initialize a fresh instance. You can create a custom config map and give it via initScriptsCM(check options for more details).

The allowed extensions are .sh, and .js.

Sidecars and Init Containers

If you have a need for additional containers to run within the same pod as Kibana (e.g. an additional metrics or logging exporter), you can do so via the sidecars config parameter (available in the mongos, shardsvr.dataNode, shardsvr.arbiter, configsvr and common sections). Simply define your container according to the Kubernetes container spec.

sidecars:
- name: your-image-name
  image: your-image
  imagePullPolicy: Always
  ports:
  - name: portname
    containerPort: 1234

Similarly, you can add extra init containers using the initContainers parameter.

initContainers:
- name: your-image-name
  image: your-image
  imagePullPolicy: Always
  ports:
  - name: portname
    containerPort: 1234

Adding extra environment variables

In case you want to add extra environment variables (useful for advanced operations like custom init scripts), you can use the extraEnvVars (available in the mongos, shardsvr.dataNode, shardsvr.arbiter, configsvr and common sections) property.

extraEnvVars:
  - name: MONGODB_VERSION
    value: 4.0

Alternatively, you can use a ConfigMap or a Secret with the environment variables. To do so, use the extraEnvVarsCM or the extraEnvVarsSecret values.

Using an external config server

It is possible to not deploy any shards or a config server. For example, it is possible to simply deploy mongos instances that point to an external MongoDB® sharded database. If that is the case, set the configsvr.external.host and configsvr.external.replicasetName for the mongos instances to connect. For authentication, set the configsvr.external.rootPassword and configsvr.external.replicasetKey values.

Setting Pod’s affinity

This chart allows you to set your custom affinity using the XXX.affinity parameter(s). Find more information about Pod’s affinity in the kubernetes documentation.

As an alternative, you can use of the preset configurations for pod affinity, pod anti-affinity, and node affinity available at the bitnami/common chart. To do so, set the XXX.podAffinityPreset, XXX.podAntiAffinityPreset, or XXX.nodeAffinityPreset parameters.

Persistence

The Bitnami MongoDB® image stores the MongoDB® data and configurations at the /bitnami/mongodb path of the container.

The chart mounts a Persistent Volume at this location. The volume is created using dynamic volume provisioning.

Adjust permissions of persistent volume mountpoint

As the image run as non-root by default, it is necessary to adjust the ownership of the persistent volume so that the container can write data into it.

By default, the chart is configured to use Kubernetes Security Context to automatically change the ownership of the volume. However, this feature does not work in all Kubernetes distributions. As an alternative, this chart supports using an initContainer to change the ownership of the volume before mounting it in the final destination.

You can enable this initContainer by setting volumePermissions.enabled to true.

Adding extra volumes

The Bitnami Kibana chart supports mounting extra volumes (either PVCs, secrets or configmaps) by using the extraVolumes and extraVolumeMounts properties (available in the mongos, shardsvr.dataNode, shardsvr.arbiter, configsvr and common sections). This can be combined with advanced operations like adding extra init containers and sidecars.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

helm install my-release \
  --set shards=4,configsvr.replicaCount=3,shardsvr.dataNode.replicaCount=2 \
    oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/mongodb-sharded

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts.

The above command sets the number of shards to 4, the number of replicas for the config servers to 3 and number of replicas for data nodes to 2.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

helm install my-release -f values.yaml oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/mongodb-sharded

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts. Tip: You can use the default values.yaml

Troubleshooting

Find more information about how to deal with common errors related to Bitnami’s Helm charts in this troubleshooting guide.

Upgrading

If authentication is enabled, it’s necessary to set the auth.rootPassword and auth.replicaSetKey when upgrading for readiness/liveness probes to work properly. When you install this chart for the first time, some notes will be displayed providing the credentials you must use. Please note down the password, and run the command below to upgrade your chart:

helm upgrade my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/mongodb-sharded --set auth.rootPassword=[PASSWORD] (--set auth.replicaSetKey=[auth.replicaSetKey])

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts. Note: you need to substitute the placeholders [PASSWORD] and [auth.replicaSetKey] with the values obtained in the installation notes.

To 8.0.0

This major bump changes the following security defaults:

  • runAsGroup is changed from 0 to 1001
  • readOnlyRootFilesystem is set to true
  • resourcesPreset is changed from none to the minimum size working in our test suites (NOTE: resourcesPreset is not meant for production usage, but resources adapted to your use case).
  • global.compatibility.openshift.adaptSecurityContext is changed from disabled to auto.

This could potentially break any customization or init scripts used in your deployment. If this is the case, change the default values to the previous ones.

To 7.0.0

This major version updates the MongoDB® container image version used from 6.0 to 7.0, the new stable version. There are no major changes in the chart, but we recommend checking the MongoDB® 7.0 release notes before upgrading.

Note: Due to an error in our release process, the latest version in the previous major branch (6.6.8) already uses 7.0 by default, see PR#19575

To 5.0.0

This major release renames several values in this chart and adds missing features, in order to be inline with the rest of assets in the Bitnami charts repository.

Affected values:

  • Authentication parameters are reorganized under the auth.* parameter:
    • usePassword is renamed to auth.enabled.
    • mongodbRootPassword, replicaSetKey, existingSecret and usePasswordFile are now auth.rootPassword, auth.replicaSetKey, auth.existingSecret and auth.usePasswordFile respectively.
  • common.containerPorts.mongo is renamed to common.containerPorts.mongodb
  • pdb.enabled is renamed to pdb.create
  • XXX.replicas is renamed to XXX.replicaCount
  • service.port is renamed to service.ports.mongodb
  • metrics.containerPort is renamed to metrics.containerPorts.metrics
  • service.nodePort is renamed to service.nodePorts.mongodb
  • securityContext is splitted into podSecurityContext and containerSecurityContext and moved into the different sections (mongos, shardsvr.dataNode, shardsvr.arbiterand configsvr):
    • securityContext.fsGroup is renamed to XXX.podSecurityContext.fsGroup
    • securityContext.runAsUser is renamed to XXX.containerSecurityContext.runAsUser
    • securityContext.runAsNonRoot is renamed to XXX.containerSecurityContext.runAsNonRoot
  • redinessProbe, livenessProbe and startupProbe are moved to the different sections (mongos, shardsvr.dataNode, shardsvr.arbiterand configsvr)

To 4.0.0

In this version, the mongodb-exporter bundled as part of this Helm chart was updated to a new version which, even it is not a major change, can contain breaking changes (from 0.11.X to 0.30.X). Please visit the release notes from the upstream project at https://github.com/percona/mongodb_exporter/releases

To 3.1.0

This version introduces bitnami/common, a library chart as a dependency. More documentation about this new utility could be found here. Please, make sure that you have updated the chart dependencies before executing any upgrade.

To 3.0.0

On November 13, 2020, Helm v2 support was formally finished, this major version is the result of the required changes applied to the Helm Chart to be able to incorporate the different features added in Helm v3 and to be consistent with the Helm project itself regarding the Helm v2 EOL.

What changes were introduced in this major version?

  • Previous versions of this Helm Chart use apiVersion: v1 (installable by both Helm 2 and 3), this Helm Chart was updated to apiVersion: v2 (installable by Helm 3 only). Here you can find more information about the apiVersion field.
  • The different fields present in the Chart.yaml file has been ordered alphabetically in a homogeneous way for all the Bitnami Helm Charts

Considerations when upgrading to this version

  • If you want to upgrade to this version from a previous one installed with Helm v3, you shouldn’t face any issues
  • If you want to upgrade to this version using Helm v2, this scenario is not supported as this version doesn’t support Helm v2 anymore
  • If you installed the previous version with Helm v2 and wants to upgrade to this version with Helm v3, please refer to the official Helm documentation about migrating from Helm v2 to v3
