Configuration Details

The main configuration files are qubernetes.yaml and nodes.yaml. These two configuration yaml files must exist in the base directory.

Generating Kubernetes Object yaml From Existing Quorum Resources.

This example will demo (re)generating the Quorum Kubernetes yaml (tessera/IBFT) from the 7nodes quorum resources (keys, configs, etc.).

There are qubernetes config files in the 7nodes directory for the various deployment configurations: tessera, constellation, IBFT, raft, PVC, host, etc.
This example uses 7nodes/istanbul-7nodes-tessera/qubernetes-istanbul-tessera-7nodes-pvc.yaml

nodes:
  number: 7
service:
  # NodePort | ClusterIP
  type: ClusterIP
quorum:
  # supported: raft | istanbul
  consensus: istanbul
  # base quorum data dir as set inside each container.
  Node_DataDir: /etc/quorum/qdata
  # This is where all the keys are store, and/or where they are generated, as in the case of quorum-keygen.
  # Either full or relative paths on the machine generating the config
  Key_Dir_Base: 7nodes
  Permissioned_Nodes_File: 7nodes/permissioned-nodes.json
  Genesis_File: 7nodes/istanbul-genesis.json
  # related to quorum containers
  quorum:
    Raft_Port: 50401
    # container images at https://hub.docker.com/u/quorumengineering/
    Quorum_Version: 2.5.0
  # related to transaction manager containers
  tm:
    # (tessera|constellation)
    # container images at https://hub.docker.com/u/quorumengineering/
    Name: tessera
    Tm_Version: 0.11
    Port: 9001
    Tessera_Config_Dir: 7nodes
  # persistent storage is handled by Persistent Volume Claims (PVC) https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/
  # test locally and on GCP
  storage:
    # PVC (Persistent_Volume_Claim - tested with GCP).
    Type: PVC
    ## when redeploying cannot be less than previous values
    Capacity: 200Mi
# generic geth related options
geth:
  Node_RPCPort: 8546
  NodeP2P_ListenAddr: 21000
  network:
    # network id (1: mainnet, 3: ropsten, 4: rinkeby ... )
    id: 10
    # public (true|false) is it a public network?
    public: false
  # general verbosity of geth [1..5]
  verbosity: 9

Replace the qubernetes.yaml in the qubernetes base directory with 7nodes/istanbul-7nodes-tessera/qubernetes-istanbul-tessera-7nodes-pvc.yaml, e.g. create a symlink to qubernetes-istanbul-tessera-7nodes-pvc.yaml

$> pwd
~qubernetes
$> rm qubernetes.yaml

## Create the symlink
$> ln -s 7nodes/istanbul-7nodes-tessera/qubernetes-istanbul-tessera-7nodes-pvc.yaml qubernetes.yaml

$> ls -la qubernetes.yaml
qubernetes.yaml -> 7nodes/istanbul-7nodes-tessera/qubernetes-istanbul-tessera-7nodes-pvc.yaml

Inside the qubernetes.yaml config file, the paths of the existing resources are set:

  Key_Dir_Base: 7nodes
  Permissioned_Nodes_File: 7nodes/permissioned-nodes.json
  Genesis_File: 7nodes/istanbul-genesis.json

There are keys already generated in the 7nodes directory in sub directories: key1, key2 ... key7. These will be used when generating the the kubernetes resource yaml.

$> ls 7nodes/key
key1/  key2/  key3/  key4/  key5/  key6/  key7/

The permissioned-nodes.json and istanbul-genesis.json already exist as well, and are also inside the 7nodes directory.

$> ls 7nodes/permissioned-nodes.json
7nodes/permissioned-nodes.json

$> ls 7nodes/istanbul-genesis.json
7nodes/istanbul-genesis.json

Finally, there needs to be a file nodes.yaml, in the qubernetes base directory, which specifies the key directory for each node. nodes.yaml

nodes:

-  Node_UserIdent: quorum-node1
   Key_Dir: key1

-  Node_UserIdent: quorum-node2
   Key_Dir: key2
...

When generating a fresh deployment, the node.yaml file will be generated, but since this example is creating Kubernetes API resources from existing resources this file needs to be present.

Create a symlink to link 7nodes/nodes-7.yaml file to nodes.yaml in the base directory.

$> ln -s 7nodes/nodes-7.yaml nodes.yaml

All set! Now we can run the ./qubernetes command to (re) generate the kubernetes yaml, by default this command will create a directory out and place the generated file in the out directory:

 $> ./qubernetes
   
     Success!
   
     Quorum Kubernetes resource files have been generated in the `out/` directory.
   
     To deploy to kubernetes run:
   
     $> kubectl apply -f out

The Kubernetes resource yaml will now be inside the out directory, which should be the same as the files in the 7nodes/istanbul-7nodes-tessera/k8s-yaml-pvc directory.

$> ls out
00-quorum-persistent-volumes.yaml 01-quorum-genesis.yaml            02-quorum-shared-config.yaml      03-quorum-services.yaml           04-quorum-keyconfigs.yaml         05-quorum-deployments.yaml

$> ls 7nodes/istanbul-7nodes-tessera/k8s-yaml-pvc
00-quorum-persistent-volumes.yaml 01-quorum-genesis.yaml            02-quorum-shared-config.yaml      03-quorum-services.yaml           04-quorum-keyconfigs.yaml         05-quorum-deployments.yaml

To deploy the regenerated Kubernetes resource files to a running cluster:

$> kubectl apply -f out
persistentvolumeclaim/quorum-node1-quorum created
persistentvolumeclaim/quorum-node1-tm-pvc created
persistentvolumeclaim/quorum-node1-log-pvc created
persistentvolumeclaim/quorum-node2-quorum created
persistentvolumeclaim/quorum-node2-tm-pvc created
persistentvolumeclaim/quorum-node2-log-pvc created
persistentvolumeclaim/quorum-node3-quorum created
persistentvolumeclaim/quorum-node3-tm-pvc created
...
# when finished you can delete the cluster.
$> kubectl delete -f out
