KubeDB - MongoDB ReplicaSet with Arbiter
This tutorial will show you how to use KubeDB to run a MongoDB ReplicaSet with arbiter.
Before You Begin
Before proceeding:
Read mongodb arbiter concept to get the concept about MongoDB Replica Set Arbiter.
You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using kind.
Now, install KubeDB cli on your workstation and KubeDB operator in your cluster following the steps here.
To keep things isolated, this tutorial uses a separate namespace called
demothroughout this tutorial. Run the following command to prepare your cluster for this tutorial:$ kubectl create ns demo namespace/demo created
Note: The yaml files used in this tutorial are stored in docs/examples/mongodb folder in GitHub repository kubedb/docs.
Deploy MongoDB ReplicaSet with arbiter
To deploy a MongoDB ReplicaSet, user have to specify spec.replicaSet option in Mongodb CRD.
The following is an example of a Mongodb object which creates MongoDB ReplicaSet of three members.
apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1
kind: MongoDB
metadata:
name: mongo-arb
namespace: demo
spec:
version: "4.4.26"
replicaSet:
name: "rs0"
replicas: 2
storageType: Durable
storage:
storageClassName: "standard"
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 500Mi
arbiter:
podTemplate: {}
deletionPolicy: WipeOut
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.11.18/docs/examples/mongodb/arbiter/replicaset.yaml
mongodb.kubedb.com/mongo-arb created
Here,
spec.replicaSetrepresents the configuration for replicaset.namedenotes the name of mongodb replicaset.
spec.keyFileSecret(optional) is a secret name that contains keyfile (a random string)againstkey.txtkey. Each mongod instances in the replica set andshardTopologyuses the contents of the keyfile as the shared password for authenticating other members in the replicaset. Only mongod instances with the correct keyfile can join the replica set. User can provide thekeyFileSecretby creating a secret with keykey.txt. See here to create the string forkeyFileSecret. IfkeyFileSecretis not given, KubeDB operator will generate akeyFileSecretitself.spec.replicasdenotes the number of data-bearing members inrs0mongodb replicaset.spec.storagespecifies the StorageClass of PVC dynamically allocated to store data for this database. This storage spec will be passed to the PetSet created by KubeDB operator to run database pods. So, each members will have a pod of this storage configuration. You can specify any StorageClass available in your cluster with appropriate resource requests.spec.arbiterdenotes arbiter spec of the deployed MongoDB CRD. There are two fields under it : configSecret & podTemplate.spec.arbiter.configSecretis an optional field to provide custom configuration file for database (i.e mongod.cnf). If specified, this file will be used as configuration file otherwise default configuration file will be used.spec.arbiter.podTemplateholds the arbiter-podSpec.nullvalue of it, instructs kubedb operator to use the default arbiter podTemplate.
KubeDB operator watches for MongoDB objects using Kubernetes api. When a MongoDB object is created, KubeDB operator will create two new PetSets (one for replicas & one for arbiter) and a Service with the matching MongoDB object name. This service will always point to the primary of the replicaset. KubeDB operator will also create a governing service for the pods of those two PetSets with the name <mongodb-name>-pods.

Please note that KubeDB operator has created a new Secret called mongo-arb-auth (format: {mongodb-object-name}-auth) for storing the password for mongodb superuser. This secret contains a username key which contains the username for MongoDB superuser and a password key which contains the password for MongoDB superuser.
If you want to use custom or existing secret please specify that when creating the MongoDB object using spec.authSecret.name. While creating this secret manually, make sure the secret contains these two keys containing data username and password. For more details, please see here.
Redundancy and Data Availability
Now, you can connect to this database through mongo-arb. In this tutorial, we will insert document on the primary member, and we will see if the data becomes available on secondary members.
At first, insert data inside primary member rs0:PRIMARY.
$ kubectl get secrets -n demo mongo-arb-auth -o jsonpath='{.data.\username}' | base64 -d

$ kubectl get secrets -n demo mongo-arb-auth -o jsonpath='{.data.\password}' | base64 -d

Automatic Failover
To test automatic failover, we will force the primary member to restart. As the primary member (pod) becomes unavailable, the rest of the members will elect a primary member by election.
$ kubectl get pods -n demo

mongo-arb-1 2/2 Running 0 14m

Now verify the automatic failover, Let’s exec in mongo-arb-0 pod,

Halt Database
When DeletionPolicy is set to halt, and you delete the mongodb object, the KubeDB operator will delete the PetSet and its pods but leaves the PVCs, secrets and database backup (snapshots) intact. Learn details of all DeletionPolicy here.
You can also keep the mongodb object and halt the database to resume it again later. If you halt the database, the kubedb will delete the petsets and services but will keep the mongodb object, pvcs, secrets and backup (snapshots).
To halt the database, first you have to set the deletionPolicy to Halt in existing database. You can use the below command to set the deletionPolicy to Halt, if it is not already set.
$ kubectl patch -n demo mg/mongo-arb -p '{"spec":{"deletionPolicy":"Halt"}}' --type="merge"
mongodb.kubedb.com/mongo-arb patched
Then, you have to set the spec.halted as true to set the database in a Halted state. You can use the below command.
$ kubectl patch -n demo mg/mongo-arb -p '{"spec":{"halted":true}}' --type="merge"
mongodb.kubedb.com/mongo-arb patched
After that, kubedb will delete the petsets and services and you can see the database Phase as Halted.
Now, you can run the following command to get all mongodb resources in demo namespaces,
$ kubectl get mg,sts,svc,secret,pvc -n demo

Resume Halted Database
Now, to resume the database, i.e. to get the same database setup back again, you have to set the the spec.halted as false. You can use the below command.
$ kubectl patch -n demo mg/mongo-arb -p '{"spec":{"halted":false}}' --type="merge"
mongodb.kubedb.com/mongo-arb patched
When the database is resumed successfully, you can see the database Status is set to Ready.
$ kubectl get mg -n demo
NAME VERSION STATUS AGE
mongodb.kubedb.com/mongo-arb 4.4.26 Ready 23m
Now, If you again exec into the primary pod and look for previous data, you will see that, all the data persists.
$ kubectl exec -it mongo-arb-1 -n demo bash
mongodb@mongo-arb-1:/$ mongo admin -u root -p 'OX4yb!IFm;~yAHkD'
rs0:PRIMARY> use mydb
switched to db mydb
rs0:PRIMARY> db.songs.find().pretty()
{
"_id" : ObjectId("62611ae33583279dfca0a5e4"),
"pink floyd" : "shine on you crazy diamond"
}
