⁠CockroachDB

A small and multi architecture* container image running Cockroachdb⁠ with included samples kubernetes deployment charts⁠

* Built for amd64 and arm64 (Currently running on RaspberryPi 4 device)

⁠Before Install

⁠Install cockroach cli*

• wget -qO- https://binaries.cockroachdb.com/cockroach-v20.2.3.linux-amd64.tgz | tar xvz

• sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/cockroach

• sudo cp -i cockroach-v20.2.3.linux-amd64/lib/libgeos.so /usr/local/lib/cockroach/

• sudo cp -i cockroach-v20.2.3.linux-amd64/lib/libgeos_c.so /usr/local/lib/cockroach/

• sudo mv cockroach-v20.2.3.linux-amd64/cockroach /usr/local/bin/

• sudo rm -rf cockroach-v20.2.3.linux-amd64

* Check latest CockroachDB version here⁠ and update above commands accordingly

⁠Run it to create certificates

• mkdir -p cockroach/certs cockroach/my-safe-directory && cd cockroach

• cockroach cert create-ca --certs-dir=certs --ca-key=my-safe-directory/ca.key

• cockroach cert create-client root --certs-dir=certs --ca-key=my-safe-directory/ca.key

⁠Save generated secrets in kube

• kubectl create secret generic cockroachdb.client.root --from-file=certs

⁠Create the certificate and key pair for your CockroachDB nodes

cockroach cert create-node \
    localhost 127.0.0.1 cockroachdb-public \
    cockroachdb-public.default \
    cockroachdb-public.default.svc.cluster.local \
    '*.cockroachdb' '*.cockroachdb.default' \
    '*.cockroachdb.default.svc.cluster.local'\
    --certs-dir=certs --ca-key=my-safe-directory/ca.key

⁠Save it

• kubectl create secret generic cockroachdb.node --from-file=certs

⁠Deployment on your Kubernetes cluster (tested with K3s⁠)

⁠Run below commands (might skip the 'echo' ones)

echo "[INFO] Will create a secure CockroachDB cluster"
kubectl create -f config/cockroachdb-statefulset.yaml
echo "[INFO] Will wait 5min for init"
sleep 300
echo "[INFO] Will run init command from cockroachdb-0 pod"
kubectl exec -it cockroachdb-0 -- /cockroach/cockroach init --certs-dir=/cockroach/cockroach-certs
echo "[INFO] Will create local sql client"
kubectl create -f config/client.yaml
