Shepherd Operator

This project provides kubernetes operators which control backing up and restoring an environment.

It is written in Go using the Kubebuilder framework.

Note: Kubebuilder version 2 is not compatible with the version of OpenShift that Shepherd runs on

Usage

Via Shepherd

Shepherd has integration with this operator. It allows administrators to create new Backup and Restore objects via the Drupal UI.

Via kube manifests

Backup/Restores can be created by creating a new object with a manifest similar to the example below. In this example:

  • The site and environment labels allow Shepherd to query these objects for display in the UI.
  • volumes holds a unique name and claimName for each PVC that is going to be backed up.
  • mysql holds a unique name and secret for each database that is going to be backed up. The secret.keys property is used by the operator to mount environment variables into the containers running the sql dump/restores in order to connect to the database.
apiVersion: extension.shepherd/v1

Containers

$ docker pull ghcr.io/universityofadelaide/shepherd-operator:latest

Deploy

This approach can be used for both production deployments and local develop on Shepherd

  1. Generate Github Token

Create new Github Personal Access Token with read:packages scope.

https://github.com/settings/tokens/new

Update the secret manifest to contain a base64 string using the following command:

echo -n <your-github-username>:<TOKEN> | base64
  1. Create Namespace
oc apply -f config/manager/namespace.yml
  1. Apply CustomerResourceDefinitions
oc apply -f config/crd/bases/
  1. Apply RBAC Policies
oc apply -f config/rbac/
  1. Apply Deployment Manifests
oc apply -f config/manager/deployment.yml

Local Development

  1. Setup Permissions
oc apply -f config/manager/namespace.yml
oc apply -f config/crd/bases/
oc apply -f config/rbac/
  1. Run the Operator
make run
