Prerequisites

NameVersionDocument
Kubernetes cluster1.20+kubernetes.io
Helmv3.8.0+helm.sh
CRI-Ov1.5.0+cri-o.io

Quick Start

Setup kubernetes cluster

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

Create a Minikube cluster.

minikube start --container-runtime=cri-o

Switch the context of kubectl to minikube cluster:

kubectl config use-context minikube

Minikube loads Dragonfly image

Pull Dragonfly latest images:

docker pull dragonflyoss/scheduler:latest
docker pull dragonflyoss/manager:latest
docker pull dragonflyoss/client:latest
docker pull dragonflyoss/dfinit:latest

Minikube cluster loads Dragonfly latest images:

minikube image load dragonflyoss/scheduler:latest
minikube image load dragonflyoss/manager:latest
minikube image load dragonflyoss/client:latest
minikube image load dragonflyoss/dfinit:latest

Create Dragonfly cluster based on helm charts

Create the Helm Charts configuration file values.yaml. Please refer to the configuration documentation for details.

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 Apr 28 10:59:19 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/

Check that Dragonfly is deployed successfully:

$ kubectl get po -n dragonfly-system
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
dragonfly-client-54vm5 1/1 Running 0 37m
dragonfly-client-cvbln 1/1 Running 0 37m

CRI-O downloads images through Dragonfly

Pull alpine:3.19 image in minikube node:

docker exec -i minikube /usr/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=client" -o=jsonpath='{.items[?(@.spec.nodeName=="minikube")].metadata.name}' | head -n 1 )

# Find peer id.
export TASK_ID=$(kubectl -n dragonfly-system exec ${POD_NAME} -- sh -c "grep -hoP 'library/alpine.*task_id=\"\K[^\"]+' /var/log/dragonfly/dfdaemon/* | head -n 1")

# Check logs.
kubectl -n dragonfly-system exec -it ${POD_NAME} -- sh -c "grep ${TASK_ID} /var/log/dragonfly/dfdaemon/* | grep 'download task succeeded'"

The expected output is as follows:

{
2024-04-19T02:44:09.259458Z INFO
"download_task":"dragonfly-client/src/grpc/dfdaemon_download.rs:276":: "download task succeeded"
"host_id": "172.18.0.3-minikube",
"task_id": "a46de92fcb9430049cf9e61e267e1c3c9db1f1aa4a8680a048949b06adb625a5",
"peer_id": "172.18.0.3-minikube-86e48d67-1653-4571-bf01-7e0c9a0a119d"
}

Notice: yourdomain.crt is Harbor's ca.crt.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: seed-client-secret
namespace: dragonfly-system
type: Opaque
data:
# the data is abbreviated in this example.
yourdomain.crt: |
MIIFwTCCA6mgAwIBAgIUdgmYyNCw4t+Lp/...

Create the secret through the following command:

kubectl apply -f seed-client-secret.yaml

Create helm charts configuration file values.yaml, configuration content is as follows:

  • Support preheating for harbor with self-signed certificates, you need to change the manager.config.job.preheat.tls configuration, /etc/certs/yourdomain.crt is the harbor self-signed certificate configuration file. If you want to bypass TLS verification, please set insecureSkipVerify to true.

  • Support dragonfly as registry of containerd for harbor with self-signed certificates, you need to change the client.config.proxy.registryMirror configuration and seedClient.config.proxy.registryMirror configuration, https://yourdomain.com is the harbor service address, /etc/certs/yourdomain.crt is the harbor self-signed certificate configuration file.

  • Set the configuration of the containerd for harbor with self-signed certificates, you need to change the client.dfinit.config.containerRuntime.crio.registries configuration, yourdomain.com is the harbor registry host address. CRI-O skips TLS verification by default (no certificate required).

Install Dragonfly with Binaries

Copy Harbor's ca.crt file to /etc/containers/certs.d/yourdomain.crt.

cp ca.crt /etc/containers/certs.d/yourdomain.crt

Install Dragonfly with Binaries, refer to Binaries.

Setup Manager and configure self-signed certificate

To support preheating for harbor with self-signed certificates, the Manager configuration needs to be modified.

Configure manager.yaml, the default path is /etc/dragonfly/manager.yaml, refer to manager config.

Notice: yourdomain.crt is Harbor's ca.crt.

job:
# Preheat configuration.
preheat:
tls:
# insecureSkipVerify controls whether a client verifies the server's certificate chain and hostname.
insecureSkipVerify: false
# # caCert is the CA certificate for preheat tls handshake, it can be path or PEM format string.
caCert: /etc/certs/yourdomain.crt

Skip TLS verification, set job.preheat.tls.insecureSkipVerify to true.

job:
# Preheat configuration.
preheat:
tls:
# insecureSkipVerify controls whether a client verifies the server's certificate chain and hostname.
insecureSkipVerify: true
# # caCert is the CA certificate for preheat tls handshake, it can be path or PEM format string.
# caCert: ''
Setup Dfdaemon as Seed Peer and configure self-signed certificate

Configure dfdaemon.yaml, the default path is /etc/dragonfly/dfdaemon.yaml, refer to dfdaemon config.

manager:
addr: http://dragonfly-manager:65003
seedPeer:
enable: true
type: super
clusterID: 1
proxy:
registryMirror:
# addr is the default address of the registry mirror. Proxy will start a registry mirror service for the
# client to pull the image. The client can use the default address of the registry mirror in
# configuration to pull the image. The `X-Dragonfly-Registry` header can instead of the default address
# of registry mirror.
addr: https://yourdomain.com
## cert is the client cert path with PEM format for the registry.
## If registry use self-signed cert, the client should set the
## cert for the registry mirror.
cert: /etc/certs/yourdomain.crt
Setup Dfdaemon as Peer and configure self-signed certificate

Configure dfdaemon.yaml, the default path is /etc/dragonfly/dfdaemon.yaml, refer to dfdaemon config.

manager:
addr: http://dragonfly-manager:65003
proxy:
registryMirror:
# addr is the default address of the registry mirror. Proxy will start a registry mirror service for the
# client to pull the image. The client can use the default address of the registry mirror in
# configuration to pull the image. The `X-Dragonfly-Registry` header can instead of the default address
# of registry mirror.
addr: https://yourdomain.com
## cert is the client cert path with PEM format for the registry.
## If registry use self-signed cert, the client should set the
## cert for the registry mirror.
cert: /etc/certs/yourdomain.crt
Configure CRI-O self-signed certificate

A custom TLS configuration for a container registry can be configured by creating a directory under /etc/containers/certs.d. The name of the directory must correspond to the host:port of the registry (e.g., yourdomain.com:port), refer to containers-certs.d.

cp yourdomain.com.cert /etc/containers/certs.d/yourdomain.com/
cp yourdomain.com.key /etc/containers/certs.d/yourdomain.com/
cp ca.crt /etc/containers/certs.d/yourdomain.com/

The following example illustrates a configuration that uses custom certificates.

/etc/containers/certs.d/    <- Certificate directory
└── yourdomain.com:port <- Hostname:port
├── yourdomain.com.cert <- Harbor certificate
├── yourdomain.com.key <- Harbor key
└── ca.crt <- Certificate authority that signed the registry certificate

Modify your registries.conf (default location: /etc/containers/registries.conf), refer to containers-registries.conf.

Notice: yourdomain.com is the Harbor service address.

[[registry]]
prefix = "yourdomain.com"
location = "yourdomain.com"

[[registry.mirror]]
location = "127.0.0.1:4001"

To bypass the TLS verification for a private registry at yourdomain.com.

[[registry]]
prefix = "yourdomain.com"
location = "yourdomain.com"

[[registry.mirror]]
insecure = true
location = "127.0.0.1:4001"

Restart crio:

systemctl restart crio
