Mount any files or volumes on Scalar product pods

You can mount any files or volumes on Scalar product pods when you use ScalarDB Server, ScalarDB Cluster, ScalarDB Analytics with PostgreSQL, or ScalarDL Helm Charts (ScalarDL Ledger and ScalarDL Auditor).

Mount key and certificate files on a pod in ScalarDL Helm Charts

You must mount the key and certificate files to run ScalarDL Auditor.

• Configuration example
  • ScalarDL Ledger

    ledger:
      ledgerProperties: |
        ...
        scalar.dl.ledger.proof.enabled=true
        scalar.dl.ledger.auditor.enabled=true
        scalar.dl.ledger.proof.private_key_path=/keys/private-key
  • ScalarDL Auditor

    auditor:
      auditorProperties: |
        ...
        scalar.dl.auditor.private_key_path=/keys/private-key
        scalar.dl.auditor.cert_path=/keys/certificate

In this example, you need to mount a private-key and a certificate file under the /keys directory in the container. And, you need to mount files named private-key and certificate. You can use extraVolumes and extraVolumeMounts to mount these files.

1. Set extraVolumes and extraVolumeMounts in the custom values file using the same syntax of Kubernetes manifest. You need to specify the directory name to the key mountPath.

   • Example
     • ScalarDL Ledger

       ledger:
         extraVolumes:
           - name: ledger-keys
             secret:
               secretName: ledger-keys
         extraVolumeMounts:
           - name: ledger-keys
             mountPath: /keys
             readOnly: true
     • ScalarDL Auditor

       auditor:
          extraVolumes:
            - name: auditor-keys
              secret:
                secretName: auditor-keys
          extraVolumeMounts:
            - name: auditor-keys
              mountPath: /keys
              readOnly: true

2. Create a Secret resource that includes key and certificate files.

   You need to specify the file name as keys of Secret.

   • Example
     • ScalarDL Ledger

       kubectl create secret generic ledger-keys \
         --from-file=private-key=./ledger-key.pem
     • ScalarDL Auditor

       kubectl create secret generic auditor-keys \
         --from-file=private-key=./auditor-key.pem \
         --from-file=certificate=./auditor-cert.pem

3. Deploy Scalar products with the above custom values file.

   After deploying Scalar products, key and certificate files are mounted under the /keys directory as follows.

   • Example
     • ScalarDL Ledger

       $ ls -l /keys/
       total 0
       lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 27 03:12 private-key -> ..data/private-key
     • ScalarDL Auditor

       $ ls -l /keys/
       total 0
       lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 27 03:16 certificate -> ..data/certificate
       lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 27 03:16 private-key -> ..data/private-key

Mount emptyDir to get a heap dump file

You can mount emptyDir to Scalar product pods by using the following keys in your custom values file. For example, you can use this volume to get a heap dump of Scalar products.

• Keys

  • scalardb.extraVolumes / scalardb.extraVolumeMounts (ScalarDB Server)
  • scalardbCluster.extraVolumes / scalardbCluster.extraVolumeMounts (ScalarDB Cluster)
  • scalardbAnalyticsPostgreSQL.extraVolumes / scalardbAnalyticsPostgreSQL.extraVolumeMounts (ScalarDB Analytics with PostgreSQL)
  • ledger.extraVolumes / ledger.extraVolumeMounts (ScalarDL Ledger)
  • auditor.extraVolumes / auditor.extraVolumeMounts (ScalarDL Auditor)

• Example (ScalarDB Server)

  scalardb:
    extraVolumes:
      - name: heap-dump
        emptyDir: {}
    extraVolumeMounts:
      - name: heap-dump
        mountPath: /dump

In this example, you can see the mounted volume in the ScalarDB Server pod as follows.

$ ls -ld /dump
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Feb  6 07:43 /dump
