Bitnami package for Drupal

Drupal is one of the most versatile open source content management systems in the world. It is pre-configured with the Ctools and Views modules, Drush and Let’s Encrypt auto-configuration support.

TL;DR

helm install my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/drupal

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 Drupal deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

It also packages the Bitnami MariaDB chart which is required for bootstrapping a MariaDB deployment as a database for the Drupal application.

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/drupal

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 Drupal 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.

Image

The image parameter allows specifying which image will be pulled for the chart.

Private registry

If you configure the image value to one in a private registry, you will need to specify an image pull secret.

  1. Manually create image pull secret(s) in the namespace. See this YAML example reference. Consult your image registry’s documentation about getting the appropriate secret.
  2. Note that the imagePullSecrets configuration value cannot currently be passed to helm using the --set parameter, so you must supply these using a values.yaml file, such as:

    imagePullSecrets:
      - name: SECRET_NAME
    
  3. Install the chart

Setting Pod’s affinity

This chart allows you to set your custom affinity using the affinity parameter. 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 podAffinityPreset, podAntiAffinityPreset, or nodeAffinityPreset parameters.

Persistence

The Bitnami Drupal image stores the Drupal data and configurations at the /bitnami/drupal path of the container.

Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube. See the Parameters section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.

Existing PersistentVolumeClaim

  1. Create the PersistentVolume
  2. Create the PersistentVolumeClaim
  3. Install the chart
helm install my-release --set persistence.existingClaim=PVC_NAME oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/drupal

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.

Host path

System compatibility

  • The local filesystem accessibility to a container in a pod with hostPath has been tested on OSX/MacOS with xhyve, and Linux with VirtualBox.
  • Windows has not been tested with the supported VM drivers. Minikube does however officially support Mounting Host Folders per pod. Or you may manually sync your container whenever host files are changed with tools like docker-sync or docker-bg-sync.

Mounting steps

  1. The specified hostPath directory must already exist (create one if it does not).
  2. Install the chart

    helm install my-release --set persistence.hostPath=/PATH/TO/HOST/MOUNT oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/drupal
    

    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.

    This will mount the drupal-data volume into the hostPath directory. The site data will be persisted if the mount path contains valid data, else the site data will be initialized at first launch.

  3. Because the container cannot control the host machine’s directory permissions, you must set the Drupal file directory permissions yourself and disable or clear Drupal cache. See Drupal Core’s INSTALL.txt for setting file permissions, and see Drupal handbook page to disable the cache, or Drush handbook to clear cache.

The above parameters map to the env variables defined in bitnami/drupal. For more information please refer to the bitnami/drupal image documentation.

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

helm install my-release \
  --set drupalUsername=admin,drupalPassword=password,mariadb.auth.rootPassword=secretpassword \
    oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/drupal

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 Drupal administrator account username and password to admin and password respectively. Additionally, it sets the MariaDB root user password to secretpassword.

NOTE: Once this chart is deployed, it is not possible to change the application’s access credentials, such as usernames or passwords, using Helm. To change these application credentials after deployment, delete any persistent volumes (PVs) used by the chart and re-deploy it, or use the application’s built-in administrative tools if available.

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

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

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

Upgrading

To 19.0.0

This major release bumps the MariaDB version to 11.4. Follow the upstream instructions for upgrading from MariaDB 11.3 to 11.4. No major issues are expected during the upgrade.

To 18.0.0

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.
  • The networkPolicy section has been normalized amongst all Bitnami charts. Compared to the previous approach, the values section has been simplified (check the Parameters section) and now it set to enabled=true by default. Egress traffic is allowed by default and ingress traffic is allowed by all pods but only to the ports set in containerPorts and extraContainerPorts.

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.

Also, this major release bumps the MariaDB chart version to 18.x.x; no major issues are expected during the upgrade.

To 17.0.0

This major release bumps the MariaDB version to 11.2. No major issues are expected during the upgrade.

To 16.0.0

This major release bumps the MariaDB version to 11.1. No major issues are expected during the upgrade.

To 15.0.0

This major release bumps the MariaDB version to 11.0. Follow the upstream instructions for upgrading from MariaDB 10.11 to 11.0. No major issues are expected during the upgrade.

To 14.0.0

This major release bumps the MariaDB version to 10.11. Follow the upstream instructions for upgrading from MariaDB 10.6 to 10.11. No major issues are expected during the upgrade.

To 12.0.0

This major release bumps the MariaDB version to 10.6. Follow the upstream instructions for upgrading from MariaDB 10.5 to 10.6. No major issues are expected during the upgrade.

To 11.0.0

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:

  • service.port was deprecated, we recommend using service.ports.http instead.
  • service.httpsPort was deprecated, we recommend using service.ports.https instead.
  • persistence.accessMode has been deprecated, we recommend using persistence.accessModes instead.

Additionally also updates the MariaDB subchart to it newest major, 10.0.0, which contains similar changes.

To 10.0.0

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.
  • Move dependency information from the requirements.yaml to the Chart.yaml
  • After running helm dependency update, a Chart.lock file is generated containing the same structure used in the previous requirements.lock
  • 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

To 9.0.0

MariaDB dependency version was bumped to a new major version that introduces several incompatilibites. Therefore, backwards compatibility is not guaranteed unless an external database is used. Check MariaDB Upgrading Notes for more information.

To upgrade to 9.0.0, you have two alternatives:

  • Install a new Drupal chart, and migrate your Drupal site using backup/restore tools such as Drupal Backup and Migrate.
  • Reuse the PVC used to hold the MariaDB data on your previous release. To do so, follow the instructions below (the following example assumes that the release name is drupal):

NOTE: Please, create a backup of your database before running any of those actions. The steps below would be only valid if your application (e.g. any plugins or custom code) is compatible with MariaDB 10.5.x

Obtain the credentials and the name of the PVC used to hold the MariaDB data on your current release:

export DRUPAL_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default drupal -o jsonpath="{.data.drupal-password}" | base64 -d)
export MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default drupal-mariadb -o jsonpath="{.data.mariadb-root-password}" | base64 -d)
export MARIADB_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default drupal-mariadb -o jsonpath="{.data.mariadb-password}" | base64 -d)
export MARIADB_PVC=$(kubectl get pvc -l app=mariadb,component=master,release=drupal -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")

Upgrade your release (maintaining the version) disabling MariaDB and scaling Drupal replicas to 0:

helm upgrade drupal oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/drupal --set drupalPassword=$DRUPAL_PASSWORD --set replicaCount=0 --set mariadb.enabled=false --version 8.2.1

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.

Finally, upgrade you release to 9.0.0 reusing the existing PVC, and enabling back MariaDB:

helm upgrade drupal oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/drupal --set mariadb.primary.persistence.existingClaim=$MARIADB_PVC --set mariadb.auth.rootPassword=$MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD --set mariadb.auth.password=$MARIADB_PASSWORD --set drupalPassword=$DRUPAL_PASSWORD

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.

You should see the lines below in MariaDB container logs:

$ kubectl logs $(kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=drupal,app.kubernetes.io/name=mariadb,app.kubernetes.io/component=primary -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
...
mariadb 12:13:24.98 INFO  ==> Using persisted data
mariadb 12:13:25.01 INFO  ==> Running mysql_upgrade
...

To 8.0.0

The Bitnami Drupal image was migrated to a “non-root” user approach. Previously the container ran as the root user and the Apache daemon was started as the daemon user. From now on, both the container and the Apache daemon run as user 1001. You can revert this behavior by setting the parameters containerSecurityContext.runAsUser to root.

Consequences:

  • The HTTP/HTTPS ports exposed by the container are now 8080/8443 instead of 80/443.
  • Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed.

To upgrade to 8.0.0, backup Drupal data and the previous MariaDB databases, install a new Drupal chart and import the backups and data, ensuring the 1001 user has the appropriate permissions on the migrated volume.

This upgrade also adapts the chart to the latest Bitnami good practices. Check the Parameters section for more information.

To 6.0.0

Helm performs a lookup for the object based on its group (apps), version (v1), and kind (Deployment). Also known as its GroupVersionKind, or GVK. Changing the GVK is considered a compatibility breaker from Kubernetes’ point of view, so you cannot “upgrade” those objects to the new GVK in-place. Earlier versions of Helm 3 did not perform the lookup correctly which has since been fixed to match the spec.

In https://github.com/helm/charts/pull/17295 the apiVersion of the deployment resources was updated to apps/v1 in tune with the api’s deprecated, resulting in compatibility breakage.

This major version signifies this change.

To 2.0.0

Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed unless you modify the labels used on the chart’s deployments. Use the workaround below to upgrade from versions previous to 2.0.0. The following example assumes that the release name is drupal:

kubectl patch deployment drupal-drupal --type=json -p='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/selector/matchLabels/chart"}]'
kubectl delete statefulset drupal-mariadb --cascade=false
