Docker ARG, ENV and .env - a Complete Guide · vsupalov.com - 1 views

  • understand and use Docker build-time variables, environment variables and docker-compose templating the right way.
  • ARG is only available during the build of a Docker image (RUN etc), not after the image is created and containers are started from it (ENTRYPOINT, CMD).
  • ENV values are available to containers, but also RUN-style commands during the Docker build starting with the line where they are introduced.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • set an environment variable in an intermediate container using bash (RUN export VARI=5 && …) it will not persist in the next command.
  • An env_file, is a convenient way to pass many environment variables to a single command in one batch.
  • not be confused with a .env file
  • the dot in front of env - .env, not an “env_file”.
  • If you have a file named .env in your project, it’s only used to put values into the docker-compose.yml file which is in the same folder. Those are used with Docker Compose and Docker Stack.
  • Just type docker-compose config. This way you’ll see how the docker-compose.yml file content looks after the substitution step has been performed without running anything else.
  • ARG are also known as build-time variables. They are only available from the moment they are ‘announced’ in the Dockerfile with an ARG instruction up to the moment when the image is built.
  • Running containers can’t access values of ARG variables.
  • ENV variables are also available during the build, as soon as you introduce them with an ENV instruction. However, unlike ARG, they are also accessible by containers started from the final image.
  • ENV values can be overridden when starting a container,
  • If you don’t provide a value to expected ARG variables which don’t have a default, you’ll get an error message.
  • args block
  • You can use ARG to set the default values of ENV vars.
  • dynamic on-build env values
  • 2. Pass environment variable values from your host
  • 1. Provide values one by one
  • 3. Take values from a file (env_file)
  • for each RUN statement, a new container is launched from an intermediate image.
  • An image is saved by the end of the command, but environment variables do not persist that way.
  • The precedence is, from stronger to less-strong: stuff the containerized application sets, values from single environment entries, values from the env_file(s) and finally Dockerfile defaults.

  • An app’s config is everything that is likely to vary between deploys (staging, production, developer environments, etc)
  • Resource handles
  • Credentials
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Per-deploy values
  • trict separation of config from code.
  • Config varies substantially across deploys, code does not.
  • he codebase could be made open source at any moment, without compromising any credentials.
  • “config” does not include internal application config
  • stores config in environment variables (often shortened to env vars or env).
  • env vars are granular controls, each fully orthogonal to other env vars
  • They are never grouped together as “environments”

  • All syslog messages are forwarded to "docker logs".
  • Baseimage-docker advocates running multiple OS processes inside a single container, and a single logical service can consist of multiple OS processes.
  • Baseimage-docker provides tools to encourage running processes as different users
  • sometimes it makes sense to run multiple services in a single container, and sometimes it doesn't.
  • Splitting your logical service into multiple OS processes also makes sense from a security standpoint.
  • using environment variables to pass parameters to containers is very much the "Docker way"
  • Baseimage-docker provides a facility to run a single one-shot command, while solving all of the aforementioned problems
  • the shell script must run the daemon without letting it daemonize/fork it.
  • All executable scripts in /etc/my_init.d, if this directory exists. The scripts are run in lexicographic order.
  • variables will also be passed to all child processes
  • Environment variables on Unix are inherited on a per-process basis
  • there is no good central place for defining environment variables for all applications and services
  • centrally defining environment variables
  • One of the ideas behind Docker is that containers should be stateless, easily restartable, and behave like a black box.
  • a one-shot command in a new container
  • immediately exit after the command exits,
  • However the downside of this approach is that the init system is not started. That is, while invoking COMMAND, important daemons such as cron and syslog are not running. Also, orphaned child processes are not properly reaped, because COMMAND is PID 1.
  • add additional daemons (e.g. your own app) to the image by creating runit entries.
  • Nginx is one such example: it removes all environment variables unless you explicitly instruct it to retain them through the env configuration option.
  • Mechanisms for easily running multiple processes, without violating the Docker philosophy
  • Ubuntu is not designed to be run inside Docker

  • A tool for installing apt packages that automatically cleans up after itself.
  • a single logical service inside a single container
  • A daemon is a program which runs in the background of its system, such as a web server.
  • The shell script must be called run, must be executable, and is to be placed in the directory /etc/service/<NAME>. runsv will switch to the directory and invoke ./run after your container starts.
  • If any script exits with a non-zero exit code, the booting will fail.
  • If your process is started with a shell script, make sure you exec the actual process, otherwise the shell will receive the signal and not your process.
  • any environment variables set with docker run --env or with the ENV command in the Dockerfile, will be picked up by my_init
  • not possible for a child process to change the environment variables of other processes
  • they will not see the environment variables that were originally passed by Docker.
  • We ignore HOME, SHELL, USER and a bunch of other environment variables on purpose, because not ignoring them will break multi-user containers.
  • my_init imports environment variables from the directory /etc/container_environment
  • /etc/container_environment.sh - a dump of the environment variables in Bash format.
  • modify the environment variables in my_init (and therefore the environment variables in all child processes that are spawned after that point in time), by altering the files in /etc/container_environment
  • my_init only activates changes in /etc/container_environment when running startup scripts
  • environment variables don't contain sensitive data, then you can also relax the permissions
  • Syslog messages are forwarded to the console
  • syslog-ng is started separately before the runit supervisor process, and shutdown after runit exits.
  • RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold"
  • /sbin/my_init --skip-startup-files --quiet --
  • By default, no keys are installed, so nobody can login
  • provide a pregenerated, insecure key (PuTTY format)
  • RUN /usr/sbin/enable_insecure_key
  • docker run YOUR_IMAGE /sbin/my_init --enable-insecure-key
  • RUN cat /tmp/your_key.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys && rm -f /tmp/your_key.pub
  • The default baseimage-docker installs syslog-ng, cron and sshd services during the build process

Best practices for writing Dockerfiles | Docker Documentation - 0 views

  • building efficient images
  • Docker builds images automatically by reading the instructions from a Dockerfile -- a text file that contains all commands, in order, needed to build a given image.
  • A Docker image consists of read-only layers each of which represents a Dockerfile instruction.
  • ...47 more annotations...
  • The layers are stacked and each one is a delta of the changes from the previous layer
  • When you run an image and generate a container, you add a new writable layer (the “container layer”) on top of the underlying layers.
  • By “ephemeral,” we mean that the container can be stopped and destroyed, then rebuilt and replaced with an absolute minimum set up and configuration.
  • Inadvertently including files that are not necessary for building an image results in a larger build context and larger image size.
  • To exclude files not relevant to the build (without restructuring your source repository) use a .dockerignore file. This file supports exclusion patterns similar to .gitignore files.
  • minimize image layers by leveraging build cache.
  • if your build contains several layers, you can order them from the less frequently changed (to ensure the build cache is reusable) to the more frequently changed
  • avoid installing extra or unnecessary packages just because they might be “nice to have.”
  • Each container should have only one concern.
  • Decoupling applications into multiple containers makes it easier to scale horizontally and reuse containers
  • Limiting each container to one process is a good rule of thumb, but it is not a hard and fast rule.
  • Use your best judgment to keep containers as clean and modular as possible.
  • do multi-stage builds and only copy the artifacts you need into the final image. This allows you to include tools and debug information in your intermediate build stages without increasing the size of the final image.
  • avoid duplication of packages and make the list much easier to update.
  • When building an image, Docker steps through the instructions in your Dockerfile, executing each in the order specified.
  • the next instruction is compared against all child images derived from that base image to see if one of them was built using the exact same instruction. If not, the cache is invalidated.
  • simply comparing the instruction in the Dockerfile with one of the child images is sufficient.
  • For the ADD and COPY instructions, the contents of the file(s) in the image are examined and a checksum is calculated for each file.
  • If anything has changed in the file(s), such as the contents and metadata, then the cache is invalidated.
  • cache checking does not look at the files in the container to determine a cache match.
  • In that case just the command string itself is used to find a match.
    • 張 旭
       
      RUN apt-get 這樣的指令,直接比對指令內容的意思。
  • Whenever possible, use current official repositories as the basis for your images.
  • Using RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y ensures your Dockerfile installs the latest package versions with no further coding or manual intervention.
  • cache busting
  • Docker executes these commands using the /bin/sh -c interpreter, which only evaluates the exit code of the last operation in the pipe to determine success.
  • set -o pipefail && to ensure that an unexpected error prevents the build from inadvertently succeeding.
  • The CMD instruction should be used to run the software contained by your image, along with any arguments.
  • CMD should almost always be used in the form of CMD [“executable”, “param1”, “param2”…]
  • CMD should rarely be used in the manner of CMD [“param”, “param”] in conjunction with ENTRYPOINT
  • The ENV instruction is also useful for providing required environment variables specific to services you wish to containerize,
  • Each ENV line creates a new intermediate layer, just like RUN commands
  • COPY is preferred
  • COPY only supports the basic copying of local files into the container
  • the best use for ADD is local tar file auto-extraction into the image, as in ADD rootfs.tar.xz /
  • If you have multiple Dockerfile steps that use different files from your context, COPY them individually, rather than all at once.
  • using ADD to fetch packages from remote URLs is strongly discouraged; you should use curl or wget instead
  • The best use for ENTRYPOINT is to set the image’s main command, allowing that image to be run as though it was that command (and then use CMD as the default flags).
  • the image name can double as a reference to the binary as shown in the command
  • The VOLUME instruction should be used to expose any database storage area, configuration storage, or files/folders created by your docker container.
  • use VOLUME for any mutable and/or user-serviceable parts of your image
  • If you absolutely need functionality similar to sudo, such as initializing the daemon as root but running it as non-root), consider using “gosu”.
  • always use absolute paths for your WORKDIR
  • An ONBUILD command executes after the current Dockerfile build completes.
  • Think of the ONBUILD command as an instruction the parent Dockerfile gives to the child Dockerfile
  • A Docker build executes ONBUILD commands before any command in a child Dockerfile.
  • Be careful when putting ADD or COPY in ONBUILD. The “onbuild” image fails catastrophically if the new build’s context is missing the resource being added.

The Rubyist's Guide to Environment Variables - Honeybadger.io Blog - 0 views

  • If you want to be able to effectively manage web apps in development and in production, you have to understand environment variables.
  • Every program you run on your server has at least one process. That process gets its own set of environment variables.
  • Once it has them, nothing outside of that process can change them.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Every program you run on your server gets its own set of environment variables at the moment you launch it.
  • Environment variables die with their process
  • Every process has a parent. That’s because every program has to be started by some other program.
  • Child processes inherit env vars from their parent
  • By default a child will get copies of every environment variable that its parent has. But the parent has control over this.
  • Changes to the environment don’t sync between running processes
  • shells do provide their own “local” shell variable systems
  • Environment variables are NOT the same as shell variables
  • use the export command to convert the local variable into an environment variable.

Docker Explained: Using Dockerfiles to Automate Building of Images | DigitalOcean - 0 views

  • CMD would be running an application upon creation of a container which is already installed using RUN (e.g. RUN apt-get install …) inside the image
  • ENTRYPOINT argument sets the concrete default application that is used every time a container is created using the image.
  • ENV command is used to set the environment variables (one or more).
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • EXPOSE command is used to associate a specified port to enable networking between the running process inside the container and the outside world
  • defines the base image to use to start the build process
  • Unlike CMD, it actually is used to build the image (forming another layer on top of the previous one which is committed).
  • VOLUME command is used to enable access from your container to a directory on the host machine
  • set where the command defined with CMD is to be executed
  • To detach yourself from the container, use the escape sequence CTRL+P followed by CTRL+Q

User Variables - Templates - Packer by HashiCorp - 0 views

  • User variables allow your templates to be further configured with variables from the command-line, environment variables, Vault, or files.
  • define it either within the variables section within your template, or using the command-line -var or -var-file flags.
  • If the default value is null, then the user variable will be required.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • User variables are available globally within the rest of the template.
  • The env function is available only within the default value of a user variable, allowing you to default a user variable to an environment variable.
  • As Packer doesn't run inside a shell, it won't expand ~
  • To set user variables from the command line, the -var flag is used as a parameter to packer build (and some other commands).
  • Variables can also be set from an external JSON file. The -var-file flag reads a file containing a key/value mapping of variables to values and sets those variables.
  • -var-file=
  • sensitive variables won't get printed to the logs by adding them to the "sensitive-variables" list within the Packer template

jwilder/nginx-proxy: Automated nginx proxy for Docker containers using docker-gen - 0 views

  • docker-gen generates reverse proxy configs for nginx and reloads nginx when containers are started and stopped.
  • /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro
  • Use this image to fully support HTTP/2 (including ALPN required by recent Chrome versions).
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • support multiple virtual hosts for a container
  • to connect to your backend using HTTPS instead of HTTP, set VIRTUAL_PROTO=https on the backend container.
  • The contents of /path/to/certs should contain the certificates and private keys for any virtual hosts in use.
  • to replace the default proxy settings for the nginx container, add a configuration file at /etc/nginx/proxy.conf
  • The default configuration blocks the Proxy HTTP request header from being sent to downstream servers
  • add your configuration file under /etc/nginx/conf.d using a name ending in .conf
  • If your container exposes multiple ports, nginx-proxy will default to the service running on port 80. If you need to specify a different port, you can set a VIRTUAL_PORT env var to select a different one.
  • To add settings on a per-VIRTUAL_HOST basis, add your configuration file under /etc/nginx/vhost.d
  • SNI
  • The default behavior for the proxy when port 80 and 443 are exposed is as follows: If a container has a usable cert, port 80 will redirect to 443 for that container so that HTTPS is always preferred when available. If the container does not have a usable cert, a 503 will be returned.

Volumes - Kubernetes - 0 views

  • On-disk files in a Container are ephemeral,
  • when a Container crashes, kubelet will restart it, but the files will be lost - the Container starts with a clean state
  • In Docker, a volume is simply a directory on disk or in another Container.
  • ...105 more annotations...
  • A Kubernetes volume, on the other hand, has an explicit lifetime - the same as the Pod that encloses it.
  • a volume outlives any Containers that run within the Pod, and data is preserved across Container restarts.
    • 張 旭
       
      Kubernetes Volume 是跟著 Pod 的生命週期在走
  • Kubernetes supports many types of volumes, and a Pod can use any number of them simultaneously.
  • To use a volume, a Pod specifies what volumes to provide for the Pod (the .spec.volumes field) and where to mount those into Containers (the .spec.containers.volumeMounts field).
  • A process in a container sees a filesystem view composed from their Docker image and volumes.
  • Volumes can not mount onto other volumes or have hard links to other volumes.
  • Each Container in the Pod must independently specify where to mount each volume
  • localnfs
  • cephfs
  • awsElasticBlockStore
  • glusterfs
  • vsphereVolume
  • An awsElasticBlockStore volume mounts an Amazon Web Services (AWS) EBS Volume into your Pod.
  • the contents of an EBS volume are preserved and the volume is merely unmounted.
  • an EBS volume can be pre-populated with data, and that data can be “handed off” between Pods.
  • create an EBS volume using aws ec2 create-volume
  • the nodes on which Pods are running must be AWS EC2 instances
  • EBS only supports a single EC2 instance mounting a volume
  • check that the size and EBS volume type are suitable for your use!
  • A cephfs volume allows an existing CephFS volume to be mounted into your Pod.
  • the contents of a cephfs volume are preserved and the volume is merely unmounted.
    • 張 旭
       
      相當於自己的 AWS EBS
  • CephFS can be mounted by multiple writers simultaneously.
  • have your own Ceph server running with the share exported
  • configMap
  • The configMap resource provides a way to inject configuration data into Pods
  • When referencing a configMap object, you can simply provide its name in the volume to reference it
  • volumeMounts: - name: config-vol mountPath: /etc/config volumes: - name: config-vol configMap: name: log-config items: - key: log_level path: log_level
  • create a ConfigMap before you can use it.
  • A Container using a ConfigMap as a subPath volume mount will not receive ConfigMap updates.
  • An emptyDir volume is first created when a Pod is assigned to a Node, and exists as long as that Pod is running on that node.
  • When a Pod is removed from a node for any reason, the data in the emptyDir is deleted forever.
  • By default, emptyDir volumes are stored on whatever medium is backing the node - that might be disk or SSD or network storage, depending on your environment.
  • you can set the emptyDir.medium field to "Memory" to tell Kubernetes to mount a tmpfs (RAM-backed filesystem)
  • volumeMounts: - mountPath: /cache name: cache-volume volumes: - name: cache-volume emptyDir: {}
  • An fc volume allows an existing fibre channel volume to be mounted in a Pod.
  • configure FC SAN Zoning to allocate and mask those LUNs (volumes) to the target WWNs beforehand so that Kubernetes hosts can access them.
  • Flocker is an open-source clustered Container data volume manager. It provides management and orchestration of data volumes backed by a variety of storage backends.
  • emptyDir
  • flocker
  • A flocker volume allows a Flocker dataset to be mounted into a Pod
  • have your own Flocker installation running
  • A gcePersistentDisk volume mounts a Google Compute Engine (GCE) Persistent Disk into your Pod.
  • Using a PD on a Pod controlled by a ReplicationController will fail unless the PD is read-only or the replica count is 0 or 1
  • A glusterfs volume allows a Glusterfs (an open source networked filesystem) volume to be mounted into your Pod.
  • have your own GlusterFS installation running
  • A hostPath volume mounts a file or directory from the host node’s filesystem into your Pod.
  • a powerful escape hatch for some applications
  • access to Docker internals; use a hostPath of /var/lib/docker
  • allowing a Pod to specify whether a given hostPath should exist prior to the Pod running, whether it should be created, and what it should exist as
  • specify a type for a hostPath volume
  • the files or directories created on the underlying hosts are only writable by root.
  • hostPath: # directory location on host path: /data # this field is optional type: Directory
  • An iscsi volume allows an existing iSCSI (SCSI over IP) volume to be mounted into your Pod.
  • have your own iSCSI server running
  • A feature of iSCSI is that it can be mounted as read-only by multiple consumers simultaneously.
  • A local volume represents a mounted local storage device such as a disk, partition or directory.
  • Local volumes can only be used as a statically created PersistentVolume.
  • Compared to hostPath volumes, local volumes can be used in a durable and portable manner without manually scheduling Pods to nodes, as the system is aware of the volume’s node constraints by looking at the node affinity on the PersistentVolume.
  • If a node becomes unhealthy, then the local volume will also become inaccessible, and a Pod using it will not be able to run.
  • PersistentVolume spec using a local volume and nodeAffinity
  • PersistentVolume nodeAffinity is required when using local volumes. It enables the Kubernetes scheduler to correctly schedule Pods using local volumes to the correct node.
  • PersistentVolume volumeMode can now be set to “Block” (instead of the default value “Filesystem”) to expose the local volume as a raw block device.
  • When using local volumes, it is recommended to create a StorageClass with volumeBindingMode set to WaitForFirstConsumer
  • An nfs volume allows an existing NFS (Network File System) share to be mounted into your Pod.
  • NFS can be mounted by multiple writers simultaneously.
  • have your own NFS server running with the share exported
  • A persistentVolumeClaim volume is used to mount a PersistentVolume into a Pod.
  • PersistentVolumes are a way for users to “claim” durable storage (such as a GCE PersistentDisk or an iSCSI volume) without knowing the details of the particular cloud environment.
  • A projected volume maps several existing volume sources into the same directory.
  • All sources are required to be in the same namespace as the Pod. For more details, see the all-in-one volume design document.
  • Each projected volume source is listed in the spec under sources
  • A Container using a projected volume source as a subPath volume mount will not receive updates for those volume sources.
  • RBD volumes can only be mounted by a single consumer in read-write mode - no simultaneous writers allowed
  • A secret volume is used to pass sensitive information, such as passwords, to Pods
  • store secrets in the Kubernetes API and mount them as files for use by Pods
  • secret volumes are backed by tmpfs (a RAM-backed filesystem) so they are never written to non-volatile storage.
  • create a secret in the Kubernetes API before you can use it
  • A Container using a Secret as a subPath volume mount will not receive Secret updates.
  • StorageOS runs as a Container within your Kubernetes environment, making local or attached storage accessible from any node within the Kubernetes cluster.
  • Data can be replicated to protect against node failure. Thin provisioning and compression can improve utilization and reduce cost.
  • StorageOS provides block storage to Containers, accessible via a file system.
  • A vsphereVolume is used to mount a vSphere VMDK Volume into your Pod.
  • supports both VMFS and VSAN datastore.
  • create VMDK using one of the following methods before using with Pod.
  • share one volume for multiple uses in a single Pod.
  • The volumeMounts.subPath property can be used to specify a sub-path inside the referenced volume instead of its root.
  • volumeMounts: - name: workdir1 mountPath: /logs subPathExpr: $(POD_NAME)
  • env: - name: POD_NAME valueFrom: fieldRef: apiVersion: v1 fieldPath: metadata.name
  • Use the subPathExpr field to construct subPath directory names from Downward API environment variables
  • enable the VolumeSubpathEnvExpansion feature gate
  • The subPath and subPathExpr properties are mutually exclusive.
  • There is no limit on how much space an emptyDir or hostPath volume can consume, and no isolation between Containers or between Pods.
  • emptyDir and hostPath volumes will be able to request a certain amount of space using a resource specification, and to select the type of media to use, for clusters that have several media types.
  • the Container Storage Interface (CSI) and Flexvolume. They enable storage vendors to create custom storage plugins without adding them to the Kubernetes repository.
  • all volume plugins (like volume types listed above) were “in-tree” meaning they were built, linked, compiled, and shipped with the core Kubernetes binaries and extend the core Kubernetes API.
  • Container Storage Interface (CSI) defines a standard interface for container orchestration systems (like Kubernetes) to expose arbitrary storage systems to their container workloads.
  • Once a CSI compatible volume driver is deployed on a Kubernetes cluster, users may use the csi volume type to attach, mount, etc. the volumes exposed by the CSI driver.
  • The csi volume type does not support direct reference from Pod and may only be referenced in a Pod via a PersistentVolumeClaim object.
  • This feature requires CSIInlineVolume feature gate to be enabled:--feature-gates=CSIInlineVolume=true
  • In-tree plugins that support CSI Migration and have a corresponding CSI driver implemented are listed in the “Types of Volumes” section above.
  • Mount propagation allows for sharing volumes mounted by a Container to other Containers in the same Pod, or even to other Pods on the same node.

  • Helm provides a hook mechanism to allow chart developers to intervene at certain points in a release’s life cycle.
  • Execute a Job to back up a database before installing a new chart, and then execute a second job after the upgrade in order to restore data.
  • Hooks are declared as an annotation in the metadata section of a manifest
  • Hooks work like regular templates, but they have special annotations
  • pre-install
  • post-install: Executes after all resources are loaded into Kubernetes
  • pre-delete
  • post-delete: Executes on a deletion request after all of the release’s resources have been deleted.
  • pre-upgrade
  • post-upgrade
  • pre-rollback
  • post-rollback: Executes on a rollback request after all resources have been modified.
  • crd-install
  • test-success: Executes when running helm test and expects the pod to return successfully (return code == 0).
  • test-failure: Executes when running helm test and expects the pod to fail (return code != 0).
  • Hooks allow you, the chart developer, an opportunity to perform operations at strategic points in a release lifecycle
  • Tiller then loads the hook with the lowest weight first (negative to positive)
  • Tiller returns the release name (and other data) to the client
  • If the resources is a Job kind, Tiller will wait until the job successfully runs to completion.
  • if the job fails, the release will fail. This is a blocking operation, so the Helm client will pause while the Job is run.
  • If they have hook weights (see below), they are executed in weighted order. Otherwise, ordering is not guaranteed.
  • good practice to add a hook weight, and set it to 0 if weight is not important.
  • The resources that a hook creates are not tracked or managed as part of the release.
  • leave the hook resource alone.
  • To destroy such resources, you need to either write code to perform this operation in a pre-delete or post-delete hook or add "helm.sh/hook-delete-policy" annotation to the hook template file.
  • Hooks are just Kubernetes manifest files with special annotations in the metadata section
  • One resource can implement multiple hooks
  • no limit to the number of different resources that may implement a given hook.
  • When subcharts declare hooks, those are also evaluated. There is no way for a top-level chart to disable the hooks declared by subcharts.
  • Hook weights can be positive or negative numbers but must be represented as strings.
  • sort those hooks in ascending order.
  • Hook deletion policies
  • "before-hook-creation" specifies Tiller should delete the previous hook before the new hook is launched.
  • By default Tiller will wait for 60 seconds for a deleted hook to no longer exist in the API server before timing out.
  • Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are a special kind in Kubernetes.
  • The crd-install hook is executed very early during an installation, before the rest of the manifests are verified.
  • A common reason why the hook resource might already exist is that it was not deleted following use on a previous install/upgrade.
  • Helm uses Go templates for templating your resource files.
  • two special template functions: include and required
  • include function allows you to bring in another template, and then pass the results to other template functions.
  • The required function allows you to declare a particular values entry as required for template rendering.
  • If the value is empty, the template rendering will fail with a user submitted error message.
  • When you are working with string data, you are always safer quoting the strings than leaving them as bare words
  • Quote Strings, Don’t Quote Integers
  • when working with integers do not quote the values
  • env variables values which are expected to be string
  • to include a template, and then perform an operation on that template’s output, Helm has a special include function
  • The above includes a template called toYaml, passes it $value, and then passes the output of that template to the nindent function.
  • Go provides a way for setting template options to control behavior when a map is indexed with a key that’s not present in the map
  • The required function gives developers the ability to declare a value entry as required for template rendering.
  • The tpl function allows developers to evaluate strings as templates inside a template.

  • checksum/config: {{ include (print $.Template.BasePath "/configmap.yaml") . | sha256sum }}
  • helm upgrade --recreate-pods
  • "helm.sh/resource-policy": keep
  • resources that should not be deleted when Helm runs a helm delete
  • this resource becomes orphaned. Helm will no longer manage it in any way.
  • create some reusable parts in your chart
  • In the templates/ directory, any file that begins with an underscore(_) is not expected to output a Kubernetes manifest file.
  • by convention, helper templates and partials are placed in a _helpers.tpl file.
  • The current best practice for composing a complex application from discrete parts is to create a top-level umbrella chart that exposes the global configurations, and then use the charts/ subdirectory to embed each of the components.
  • SAP’s Converged charts: These charts install SAP Converged Cloud a full OpenStack IaaS on Kubernetes. All of the charts are collected together in one GitHub repository, except for a few submodules.
  • Deis’s Workflow: This chart exposes the entire Deis PaaS system with one chart. But it’s different from the SAP chart in that this umbrella chart is built from each component, and each component is tracked in a different Git repository.
  • YAML is a superset of JSON
  • any valid JSON structure ought to be valid in YAML.
  • As a best practice, templates should follow a YAML-like syntax unless the JSON syntax substantially reduces the risk of a formatting issue.
  • There are functions in Helm that allow you to generate random data, cryptographic keys, and so on.
  • a chart repository is a location where packaged charts can be stored and shared.
  • A chart repository is an HTTP server that houses an index.yaml file and optionally some packaged charts.
  • Because a chart repository can be any HTTP server that can serve YAML and tar files and can answer GET requests, you have a plethora of options when it comes down to hosting your own chart repository.
  • It is not required that a chart package be located on the same server as the index.yaml file.
  • A valid chart repository must have an index file. The index file contains information about each chart in the chart repository.
  • The Helm project provides an open-source Helm repository server called ChartMuseum that you can host yourself.
  • $ helm repo index fantastic-charts --url https://fantastic-charts.storage.googleapis.com
  • A repository will not be added if it does not contain a valid index.yaml
  • add the repository to their helm client via the helm repo add [NAME] [URL] command with any name they would like to use to reference the repository.
  • Helm has provenance tools which help chart users verify the integrity and origin of a package.
  • Integrity is established by comparing a chart to a provenance record
  • The provenance file contains a chart’s YAML file plus several pieces of verification information
  • Chart repositories serve as a centralized collection of Helm charts.
  • Chart repositories must make it possible to serve provenance files over HTTP via a specific request, and must make them available at the same URI path as the chart.
  • We don’t want to be “the certificate authority” for all chart signers. Instead, we strongly favor a decentralized model, which is part of the reason we chose OpenPGP as our foundational technology.
  • The Keybase platform provides a public centralized repository for trust information.
  • A chart contains a number of Kubernetes resources and components that work together.
  • A test in a helm chart lives under the templates/ directory and is a pod definition that specifies a container with a given command to run.
  • The pod definition must contain one of the helm test hook annotations: helm.sh/hook: test-success or helm.sh/hook: test-failure
  • helm test
  • nest your test suite under a tests/ directory like <chart-name>/templates/tests/

APP_KEY And You | Tighten - 0 views

  • The application key is a random, 32-character string stored in the APP_KEY key in your .env file.
  • Once your app is running, there's one place it uses the APP_KEY: cookies.
  • Laravel uses the key for all encrypted cookies, including the session cookie, before handing them off to the user's browser, and it uses it to decrypt cookies read from the browser.
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Encrypted cookies are an important security feature in Laravel.
  • All of this encryption and decryption is handled in Laravel by the Encrypter using PHP's built-in security tools, including OpenSSL.
  • Passwords are not encrypted, they are hashed.
  • Laravel's passwords are hashed using Hash::make() or bcrypt(), neither of which use APP_KEY.
  • Crypt (symmetric encryption) and Hash (one-way cryptographic hashing).
  • Laravel uses this same method for cookies, both the sender and receiver, using APP_KEY as the encryption key.
  • something like user passwords, you should never have a way to decrypt them. Ever.
  • Unique: The collision rate (different inputs hashing to the same output) should be very small
  • Laravel hashing implements the native PHP password_hash() function, defaulting to a hashing algorithm called bcrypt.
  • a one-way hash, we cannot decrypt it. All that we can do is test against it.
  • When the user with this password attempts to log in, Laravel hashes their password input and uses PHP’s password_verify() function to compare the new hash with the database hash
  • User password storage should never be reversible, and therefore doesn’t need APP_KEY at all.
  • Any good credential management strategy should include rotation: changing keys and passwords on a regular basis
  • update the key on each server.
  • their sessions invalidated as soon as you change your APP_KEY.
  • make and test a plan to decrypt that data with your old key and re-encrypt it with the new key.
