General info

As of 2023-12-05, this project is simple demonstration of running OpenMetadata in Openshift.

Technologies

Project is created with:

  • Docker
  • Minikube
  • Openshift
  • OpenMetadata

Setup

Deploying locally on minikube using Helm chart

To install minikube, follow installing_minukube.md. Once minikube is installed, use the below commands (the installation uses Helm charts for deploying to k8s)

Create Kubernetes Secrets required for Helm Charts

kubectl create secret generic mysql-secrets --from-literal=openmetadata-mysql-password=openmetadata_password
kubectl create secret generic airflow-secrets --from-literal=openmetadata-airflow-password=admin
kubectl create secret generic airflow-mysql-secrets --from-literal=airflow-mysql-password=airflow_pass

Add Helm Repository for Local Deployment

helm repo add open-metadata https://helm.open-metadata.org/

To verify, run helm repo list to ensure the OpenMetadata repository was added.

Install OpenMetadata Dependencies Helm Chart

helm install openmetadata-dependencies open-metadata/openmetadata-dependencies

Run kubectl get pods to check whether all the pods for the dependencies are running. You should get a result similar to below.

Helm Chart for OpenMetadata Dependencies uses the following helm charts: Bitnami MySQL (helm chart version 9.7.1) ElasticSearch (helm chart version 7.16.3) Airflow (helm chart version 8.6.1)

In a few minutues, the pods should be in ready state. To check for any failures, get the pods in the dev namespace:

kubectl get pods --namespace a1b9b0-dev

To view the pod logs

kubectl logs <POD_NAME> --namespace a1b9b0-dev

Install OpenMetadata Helm Chart

Deploy OpenMetadata Application by running the following command -

helm install openmetadata open-metadata/openmetadata

Port Forward OpenMetadata Kubernetes Service to view UI

kubectl port-forward service/openmetadata 8585:http

The above command will port forward traffic from local machine port 8585 to a named port of OpenMetadata kubernetes service http. Browse the Application with url http://localhost:8585 from your Browser. The default login credentials are admin:admin to log into OpenMetadata Application.

Cleanup

Use the below command to uninstall OpenMetadata Helm Charts Release.

helm uninstall openmetadata
helm uninstall openmetadata-dependencies

Deploying to OpenShift

To deploy to OpenShift, use OC commands and make sure Helm cli is installed on your local machine.

brew install helm

First install Dependencies

Source: https://github.com/open-metadata/openmetadata-helm-charts/tree/main/charts/deps

Create secrets

oc create secret generic airflow-mysql-secrets --from-literal=airflow-mysql-password=airflow_pass

Deploy dependencies to OpenShift

Navigate to the 'deps' chart folder then:

helm install openmetadata-dependencies .

If you see the below error then get admin access to the dev namespace Issues: User "vikas.grover@gov.bc.ca" cannot get resource "roles" in API group "rbac.authorization.k8s.io" in the namespace "a1b9b0-dev"

Install OpenMetadata

Source: https://github.com/open-metadata/openmetadata-helm-charts/tree/main/charts/openmetadata

Create default Secrets

oc create secret generic mysql-secrets --from-literal=openmetadata-mysql-password=openmetadata_password
oc create secret generic airflow-secrets --from-literal=openmetadata-airflow-password=admin

Apply the pod label policies under 'oc' folder:

oc apply -f [auto-label].yaml

Apply the network policies under 'oc' folder:

oc apply -f [net-pol].yaml

Deploy OpenMetadata to OpenShift:

Navigate to the 'openmetadata' chart folder then:

helm install openmetadata .

Port Forward OpenMetadata to view UI

OpenSearch Dockerfile and Use of GHCR

OpenSearch requires a modified Dockerfile to work within the OpenShift restricted security context. The Dockerfile can be found under charts/opensearch-2.12.1/containers. The image is built automatically and pushed to the GHCR any time there is a push or PR to the main branch.

Usage example:

docker pull ghcr.io/bcgov/nr-openmetadata-opensearch:main

Helm chart modifications

To review all Helm chart modifications (i.e. differences between the OpenMetadata default config and this config), search this repo for "DF-NOTE:" annotations.
