- Kubernetes cluster that observes the following version considerations:
clickhouse-operator
versions before0.16.0
are compatible with Kubenetes after1.16
and prior1.22
.clickhouse-operator
versions0.16.0
and after are compatible Kubernetes version1.16
and after.
- Properly configured
kubectl
curl
Apply clickhouse-operator
installation manifest. The simplest way - directly from github
.
just run:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator/master/deploy/operator/clickhouse-operator-install-bundle.yaml
just run:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator/master/deploy/operator/clickhouse-operator-install-bundle-v1beta1.yaml
such as namespace where to install operator or operator's image, use the special installer script.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator/master/deploy/operator-web-installer/clickhouse-operator-install.sh | OPERATOR_NAMESPACE=test-clickhouse-operator bash
Take into account explicitly specified namespace
OPERATOR_NAMESPACE=test-clickhouse-operator
This namespace would be created and used to install clickhouse-operator
into.
Install script would download some .yaml
and .xml
files and install clickhouse-operator
into specified namespace.
After installation clickhouse-operator will watch custom resources like a kind: ClickhouseInstallation
only in test-clickhouse-operator
namespace.
If no OPERATOR_NAMESPACE
specified, as:
cd ~
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator/master/deploy/operator-web-installer/clickhouse-operator-install.sh | bash
installer will install clickhouse-operator into kube-system
namespace and will watch custom resources like a kind: ClickhouseInstallation
in all available namespaces.
you can download manually this template file
and edit it according to your choice. After that apply it with kubectl
. Or you can use this snippet instead:
#!/bin/bash
# Namespace to install operator into
OPERATOR_NAMESPACE="${OPERATOR_NAMESPACE:-test-clickhouse-operator}"
# Namespace to install metrics-exporter into
METRICS_EXPORTER_NAMESPACE="${OPERATOR_NAMESPACE}"
# Operator's docker image
OPERATOR_IMAGE="${OPERATOR_IMAGE:-altinity/clickhouse-operator:latest}"
# Metrics exporter's docker image
METRICS_EXPORTER_IMAGE="${METRICS_EXPORTER_IMAGE:-altinity/metrics-exporter:latest}"
# Setup clickhouse-operator into specified namespace
kubectl apply --namespace="${OPERATOR_NAMESPACE}" -f <( \
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator/master/deploy/operator/clickhouse-operator-install-template.yaml | \
OPERATOR_IMAGE="${OPERATOR_IMAGE}" \
OPERATOR_NAMESPACE="${OPERATOR_NAMESPACE}" \
METRICS_EXPORTER_IMAGE="${METRICS_EXPORTER_IMAGE}" \
METRICS_EXPORTER_NAMESPACE="${METRICS_EXPORTER_NAMESPACE}" \
envsubst \
)

Complete instructions on how to build ClickHouse operator from sources as well as how to build a docker image and use it inside kubernetes
described here.
There are several ready-to-use ClickHouseInstallation examples. Below are a few to start with.
It is a good practice to have all components run in dedicated namespaces. Let's run examples in test
namespace
kubectl create namespace test-clickhouse-operator
namespace/test created
This is the trivial 1 shard 1 replica example.
WARNING: Do not use it for anything other than 'Hello, world!'. It does not have persistent storage!
kubectl apply -n test-clickhouse-operator -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator/master/docs/chi-examples/01-simple-layout-01-1shard-1repl.yaml
clickhouseinstallation.clickhouse.altinity.com/simple-01 created
Installation specification is straightforward and defines 1-replica cluster:
apiVersion: "clickhouse.altinity.com/v1"
kind: "ClickHouseInstallation"
metadata:
name: "simple-01"
spec:
configuration:
users:
# printf 'test_password' | sha256sum
test_user/password_sha256_hex: 10a6e6cc8311a3e2bcc09bf6c199adecd5dd59408c343e926b129c4914f3cb01
# to allow access outside from kubernetes
test_user/networks/ip:
- 0.0.0.0/0
clusters:
- name: "simple"
Once cluster is created, there are two checks to be made.
kubectl get pods -n test-clickhouse-operator
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
chi-b3d29f-a242-0-0-0 1/1 Running 0 10m
Ensure you see the 'Running' status. Also check services created by an operator:
kubectl get service -n test-clickhouse-operator
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
chi-b3d29f-a242-0-0 ClusterIP None <none> 8123/TCP,9000/TCP,9009/TCP 11m
clickhouse-example-01 LoadBalancer 100.64.167.170 abc-123.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com 8123:30954/TCP,9000:32697/TCP 11m
ClickHouse is up and running!
There are several ways to connect to ClickHouse on Kubenetes.
- In case the previous command
kubectl get service -n test-clickhouse-operator
reported EXTERNAL-IP (abc-123.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com in our case) we can directly access ClickHouse with:
clickhouse-client -h abc-123.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com -u test_user --password test_password
ClickHouse client version 18.14.12.
Connecting to abc-123.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com:9000.
Connected to ClickHouse server version 19.4.3 revision 54416.
- In case there is no EXTERNAL-IP available, we can access ClickHouse from inside Kubernetes cluster
kubectl -n test-clickhouse-operator exec -it chi-b3d29f-a242-0-0-0 -- clickhouse-client
ClickHouse client version 19.4.3.11.
Connecting to localhost:9000 as user default.
Connected to ClickHouse server version 19.4.3 revision 54416.
- If we have a clickhouse client installed locally we can also use port forwarding
kubectl -n test-clickhouse-operator port-forward chi-b3d29f-a242-0-0-0 9000:9000 &
clickhouse-client
ClickHouse client version 19.4.3.11.
Connecting to localhost:9000 as user default.
Connected to ClickHouse server version 19.4.3 revision 54416.
In cases where Dynamic Volume Provisioning is available - ex.: running on AWS - we are able to use PersistentVolumeClaims Manifest is available in examples

You can tell the operator to configure your ClickHouse, as shown in the example below (link to the manifest):
