Helm Charts

Documentation for deploying Dragonfly on kubernetes using helm.

For more integrations such as Docker, CRI-O, Singularity/Apptainer, Nydus, eStargz, Harbor, Git LFS, Hugging Face, TorchServe, Triton Server, etc., refer to Integrations.

Prerequisites

NameVersionDocument
Kubernetes cluster1.20+kubernetes.io
Helmv3.8.0+helm.sh
containerdv1.5.0+containerd.io

Setup kubernetes cluster

Kind is recommended if no Kubernetes cluster is available for testing.

Create kind multi-node cluster configuration file kind-config.yaml, configuration content is as follows:

kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
- role: worker
- role: worker

Create a kind multi-node cluster using the configuration file:

kind create cluster --config kind-config.yaml

Switch the context of kubectl to kind cluster:

kubectl config use-context kind-kind

Kind loads Dragonfly image

Pull Dragonfly latest images:

docker pull dragonflyoss/scheduler:latest
docker pull dragonflyoss/manager:latest
docker pull dragonflyoss/dfdaemon:latest

Kind cluster loads Dragonfly latest images:

kind load docker-image dragonflyoss/scheduler:latest
kind load docker-image dragonflyoss/manager:latest
kind load docker-image dragonflyoss/dfdaemon:latest

Create Dragonfly cluster based on helm charts

Create the Helm Charts configuration file values.yaml, and set the container runtime to containerd. Please refer to the configuration documentation for details.

containerRuntime:
containerd:
enable: true
injectConfigPath: true
registries:
- 'https://docker.io'

jaeger:
enable: true

Create a Dragonfly cluster using the configuration file:

$ helm repo add dragonfly https://dragonflyoss.github.io/helm-charts/
$ helm install --create-namespace --namespace dragonfly-system dragonfly dragonfly/dragonfly -f values.yaml
NAME: dragonfly
LAST DEPLOYED: Mon Mar 4 16:23:15 2024
NAMESPACE: dragonfly-system
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
1. Get the scheduler address by running these commands:
export SCHEDULER_POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace dragonfly-system -l "app=dragonfly,release=dragonfly,component=scheduler" -o jsonpath={.items[0].metadata.name})
export SCHEDULER_CONTAINER_PORT=$(kubectl get pod --namespace dragonfly-system $SCHEDULER_POD_NAME -o jsonpath="{.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}")
kubectl --namespace dragonfly-system port-forward $SCHEDULER_POD_NAME 8002:$SCHEDULER_CONTAINER_PORT
echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:8002 to use your scheduler"

2. Get the dfdaemon port by running these commands:
export DFDAEMON_POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace dragonfly-system -l "app=dragonfly,release=dragonfly,component=dfdaemon" -o jsonpath={.items[0].metadata.name})
export DFDAEMON_CONTAINER_PORT=$(kubectl get pod --namespace dragonfly-system $DFDAEMON_POD_NAME -o jsonpath="{.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}")
You can use $DFDAEMON_CONTAINER_PORT as a proxy port in Node.

3. Configure runtime to use dragonfly:
https://d7y.io/docs/getting-started/quick-start/kubernetes/

4. Get Jaeger query URL by running these commands:
export JAEGER_QUERY_PORT=$(kubectl --namespace dragonfly-system get services dragonfly-jaeger-query -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[0].port}")
kubectl --namespace dragonfly-system port-forward service/dragonfly-jaeger-query 16686:$JAEGER_QUERY_PORT
echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:16686/search?limit=20&lookback=1h&maxDuration&minDuration&service=dragonfly to query download events"

Check that Dragonfly is deployed successfully:

$ kubectl get po -n dragonfly-system

Containerd downloads images through Dragonfly

Pull alpine:3.19 image in kind-worker node:

docker exec -i kind-worker /usr/local/bin/crictl pull alpine:3.19

Verify

You can execute the following command to check if the alpine:3.19 image is distributed via Dragonfly.

# Find pod name.
export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace dragonfly-system -l "app=dragonfly,release=dragonfly,component=dfdaemon" -o=jsonpath='{.items[?(@.spec.nodeName=="kind-worker")].metadata.name}' | head -n 1 )

# Find peer id.
export PEER_ID=$(kubectl -n dragonfly-system exec -it ${POD_NAME} -- grep "alpine" /var/log/dragonfly/daemon/core.log | awk -F'"peer":"' '{print $2}' | awk -F'"' '{print $1}' | head -n 1)

# Check logs.
kubectl -n dragonfly-system exec -it ${POD_NAME} -- grep ${PEER_ID} /var/log/dragonfly/daemon/core.log | grep "peer task done"

The expected output is as follows:

{
"level": "info",
"ts": "2024-03-05 12:06:31.244",
"caller": "peer/peertask_conductor.go:1349",

}

Containerd pull image hits the cache of remote peer

Delete the dfdaemon whose Node is kind-worker to clear the cache of Dragonfly local Peer.

# Find pod name.

Preheat image

Expose manager's port 8080:

kubectl --namespace dragonfly-system port-forward service/dragonfly-manager 8080:8080

Please create personal access Token before calling Open API, and select job for access scopes, refer to personal-access-tokens.

Use Open API to preheat the image alpine:3.19 to Seed Peer, refer to preheat.

curl --location --request POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/oapi/v1/jobs' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer your_personal_access_token' \
