# Bitnami package for Redis(R) Cluster
Redis(R) is an open source, scalable, distributed in-memory cache for applications. It can be used to store and serve data in the form of strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets.

## TL;DR
```bash
$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
$ helm install my-release bitnami/redis-cluster
```
## Introduction
This chart bootstraps a [Redis&reg;](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-redis) deployment on a [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.
Bitnami charts can be used with [Kubeapps](https://kubeapps.dev/) for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.
### Choose between Redis&reg; Helm Chart and Redis&reg; Cluster Helm Chart
You can choose any of the two Redis&reg; Helm charts for deploying a Redis&reg; cluster.
While [Redis&reg; Helm Chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/redis) will deploy a master-slave cluster using Redis&reg; Sentinel, the [Redis&reg; Cluster Helm Chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/redis-cluster) will deploy a Redis&reg; Cluster with sharding.
The main features of each chart are the following:
| Redis&reg; | Redis&reg; Cluster |
|--------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Supports multiple databases | Supports only one database. Better if you have a big dataset |
| Single write point (single master) | Multiple write points (multiple masters) |
| ![Redis&reg; Topology](img/redis-topology.png) | ![Redis&reg; Cluster Topology](img/redis-cluster-topology.png) |
## Prerequisites
- Kubernetes 1.19+
- Helm 3.2.0+
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
## Installing the Chart
To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:
```bash
$ helm install my-release bitnami/redis-cluster
```
The command deploys Redis&reg; on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.
NOTE: if you get a timeout error waiting for the hook to complete increase the default timeout (300s) to a higher one, for example:
```
helm install --timeout 600s myrelease bitnami/redis-cluster
```
> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`
## Uninstalling the Chart
To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:
```bash
$ helm delete my-release
```
The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

The above command sets the Redis&reg; server password to `secretpassword`.
> NOTE: Once this chart is deployed, it is not possible to change the application's access credentials, such as usernames or passwords, using Helm. To change these application credentials after deployment, delete any persistent volumes (PVs) used by the chart and re-deploy it, or use the application's built-in administrative tools if available.
Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,
```bash
$ helm install my-release -f values.yaml bitnami/redis-cluster
```
> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)
> **Note for minikube users**: Current versions of minikube (v0.24.1 at the time of writing) provision `hostPath` persistent volumes that are only writable by root. Using chart defaults cause pod failure for the Redis&reg; pod as it attempts to write to the `/bitnami` directory. See minikube issue [1990](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/1990) for more information.
## Configuration and installation details
### [Rolling VS Immutable tags](https://docs.bitnami.com/containers/how-to/understand-rolling-tags-containers/)
It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.
Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.
### Use a different Redis&reg; version
To modify the application version used in this chart, specify a different version of the image using the `image.tag` parameter and/or a different repository using the `image.repository` parameter. Refer to the [chart documentation for more information on these parameters and how to use them with images from a private registry](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/infrastructure/redis-cluster/configuration/change-image-version/).
### Cluster topology
To successfully set the cluster up, it will need to have at least 3 master nodes. The total number of nodes is calculated like- `nodes = numOfMasterNodes + numOfMasterNodes * replicas`. Hence, the defaults `cluster.nodes = 6` and `cluster.replicas = 1` means, 3 master and 3 replica nodes will be deployed by the chart.
By default the Redis&reg; Cluster is not accessible from outside the Kubernetes cluster, to access the Redis&reg; Cluster from outside you have to set `cluster.externalAccess.enabled=true` at deployment time. It will create in the first installation only 6 LoadBalancer services, one for each Redis&reg; node, once you have the external IPs of each service you will need to perform an upgrade passing those IPs to the `cluster.externalAccess.service.loadbalancerIP` array.
The replicas will be read-only replicas of the masters. By default only one service is exposed (when not using the external access mode). You will connect your client to the exposed service, regardless you need to read or write. When a write operation arrives to a replica it will redirect the client to the proper master node. For example, using `redis-cli` you will need to provide the `-c` flag for `redis-cli` to follow the redirection automatically.
Using the external access mode, you can connect to any of the pods and the slaves will redirect the client in the same way as explained before, but the all the IPs will be public.
In case the master crashes, one of his slaves will be promoted to master. The slots stored by the crashed master will be unavailable until the slave finish the promotion. If a master and all his slaves crash, the cluster will be down until one of them is up again. To avoid downtime, it is possible to configure the number of Redis&reg; nodes with `cluster.nodes` and the number of replicas that will be assigned to each master with `cluster.replicas`. For example:
- `cluster.nodes=9` ( 3 master plus 2 replicas for each master)
- `cluster.replicas=2`
Providing the values above, the cluster will have 3 masters and, each master, will have 2 replicas.
> NOTE: By default `cluster.init` will be set to `true` in order to initialize the Redis&reg; Cluster in the first installation. If for testing purposes you only want to deploy or upgrade the nodes but avoiding the creation of the cluster you can set `cluster.init` to `false`.
#### Adding a new node to the cluster
There is a job that will be executed using a `post-upgrade` hook that will allow you to add a new node. To use it, you should provide some parameters to the upgrade:
- Pass as `password` the password used in the installation time. If you did not provide a password follow the instructions from the NOTES.txt to get the generated password.
- Set the desired number of nodes at `cluster.nodes`.
- Set the number of current nodes at `cluster.update.currentNumberOfNodes`.
- Set to true `cluster.update.addNodes`.
The following will be an example to add one more node:
```
helm upgrade --timeout 600s <release> --set "password=${REDIS_PASSWORD},cluster.nodes=7,cluster.update.addNodes=true,cluster.update.currentNumberOfNodes=6" bitnami/redis-cluster
```
Where `REDIS_PASSWORD` is the password obtained with the command that appears after the first installation of the Helm Chart.
The cluster will continue up while restarting pods one by one as the quorum is not lost.
##### External Access
If you are using external access, to add a new node you will need to perform two upgrades. First upgrade the release to add a new Redis&reg; node and to get a LoadBalancerIP service. For example:
```
helm upgrade <release> --set "password=${REDIS_PASSWORD},cluster.externalAccess.enabled=true,cluster.externalAccess.service.type=LoadBalancer,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[0]=<loadBalancerip-0>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[1]=<loadbalanacerip-1>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[2]=<loadbalancerip-2>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[3]=<loadbalancerip-3>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[4]=<loadbalancerip-4>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[5]=<loadbalancerip-5>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[6]=,cluster.nodes=7,cluster.init=false bitnami/redis-cluster
```
> Important here to provide the loadBalancerIP parameters for the new nodes empty to not get an index error.
As we want to add a new node, we are setting `cluster.nodes=7` and we leave empty the LoadBalancerIP for the new node, so the cluster will provide the correct one.
`REDIS_PASSWORD` is the password obtained with the command that appears after the first installation of the Helm Chart.
At this point, you will have a new Redis&reg; Pod that will remain in `crashLoopBackOff` state until we provide the LoadBalancerIP for the new service.
Now, wait until the cluster provides the new LoadBalancerIP for the new service and perform the second upgrade:
```
helm upgrade <release> --set "password=${REDIS_PASSWORD},cluster.externalAccess.enabled=true,cluster.externalAccess.service.type=LoadBalancer,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[0]=<loadbalancerip-0>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[1]=<loadbalancerip-1>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[2]=<loadbalancerip-2>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[3]=<loadbalancerip-3>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[4]=<loadbalancerip-4>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[5]=<loadbalancerip-5>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[6]=<loadbalancerip-6>,cluster.nodes=7,cluster.init=false,cluster.update.addNodes=true,cluster.update.newExternalIPs[0]=<load-balancerip-6>" bitnami/redis-cluster
```
Note we are providing the new IPs at `cluster.update.newExternalIPs`, the flag `cluster.update.addNodes=true` to enable the creation of the Job that adds a new node and now we are setting the LoadBalancerIP of the new service instead of leave it empty.
> NOTE: To avoid the creation of the Job that initializes the Redis&reg; Cluster again, you will need to provide `cluster.init=false`.
#### Scale down the cluster
To scale down the Redis&reg; Cluster, follow these steps:
First perform a normal upgrade setting the `cluster.nodes` value to the desired number of nodes. It should not be less than `6` and the difference between current number of nodes and the desired should be less or equal to `cluster.replicas` to avoid removing master node an its slaves at the same time. Also it is needed to provide the password using the `password`. For example, having more than 6 nodes, to scale down the cluster to 6 nodes:
```
helm upgrade --timeout 600s <release> --set "password=${REDIS_PASSWORD},cluster.nodes=6" .
```
The cluster will continue working during the update as long as the quorum is not lost.
> NOTE: To avoid the creation of the Job that initializes the Redis&reg; Cluster again, you will need to provide `cluster.init=false`.
Once all the nodes are ready, get the list of nodes in the cluster using the `CLUSTER NODES` command. You will see references to the ones that were removed. Write down the node IDs of the nodes that show `fail`. In the following example the cluster scaled down from 7 to 6 nodes.
```
redis-cli -a $REDIS_PASSWORD CLUSTER NODES
...
b23bcffa1fd64368d445c1d9bd9aeb92641105f7 10.0.0.70:6379@16379 slave,fail - 1645633139060 0 0 connected
...
```
In each cluster node, execute the following command. Replace the NODE_ID placeholder.
```
redis-cli -a $REDIS_PASSWORD CLUSTER FORGET NODE_ID
```
In the previous example the commands would look like this in each cluster node:
```
redis-cli -a $REDIS_PASSWORD CLUSTER FORGET b23bcffa1fd64368d445c1d9bd9aeb92641105f7
```
### Using password file
To use a password file for Redis&reg; you need to create a secret containing the password.
> *NOTE*: It is important that the file with the password must be called `redis-password`
And then deploy the Helm Chart using the secret name as parameter:
```console
usePassword=true
usePasswordFile=true
existingSecret=redis-password-secret
metrics.enabled=true
```
### Securing traffic using TLS
TLS support can be enabled in the chart by specifying the `tls.` parameters while creating a release. The following parameters should be configured to properly enable the TLS support in the cluster:
- `tls.enabled`: Enable TLS support. Defaults to `false`
- `tls.existingSecret`: Name of the secret that contains the certificates. No defaults.
- `tls.certFilename`: Certificate filename. No defaults.
- `tls.certKeyFilename`: Certificate key filename. No defaults.
- `tls.certCAFilename`: CA Certificate filename. No defaults.
For example:
First, create the secret with the certificates files:
```console
kubectl create secret generic certificates-tls-secret --from-file=./cert.pem --from-file=./cert.key --from-file=./ca.pem
```
Then, use the following parameters:
```console
tls.enabled="true"
tls.existingSecret="certificates-tls-secret"
tls.certFilename="cert.pem"
tls.certKeyFilename="cert.key"
tls.certCAFilename="ca.pem"
```
### Sidecars and Init Containers
If you have a need for additional containers to run within the same pod as Redis&reg; (e.g. an additional metrics or logging exporter), you can do so via the `sidecars` config parameter. Simply define your container according to the Kubernetes container spec.
```yaml
sidecars:
- name: your-image-name
image: your-image
imagePullPolicy: Always
ports:
- name: portname
containerPort: 1234
```
Similarly, you can add extra init containers using the `initContainers` parameter.
```yaml
initContainers:
- name: your-image-name
image: your-image
imagePullPolicy: Always
ports:
- name: portname
containerPort: 1234
```
### Adding extra environment variables
In case you want to add extra environment variables (useful for advanced operations like custom init scripts), you can use the `extraEnvVars` property.
```yaml
extraEnvVars:
- name: REDIS_WHATEVER
value: value
```
Alternatively, you can use a ConfigMap or a Secret with the environment variables. To do so, use the `extraEnvVarsCM` or the `extraEnvVarsSecret` values.
### Metrics
The chart optionally can start a metrics exporter for [prometheus](https://prometheus.io). The metrics endpoint (port 9121) is exposed in the service. Metrics can be scraped from within the cluster using something similar as the described in the [example Prometheus scrape configuration](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/documentation/examples/prometheus-kubernetes.yml). If metrics are to be scraped from outside the cluster, the Kubernetes API proxy can be utilized to access the endpoint.
### Host Kernel Settings
Redis&reg; may require some changes in the kernel of the host machine to work as expected, in particular increasing the `somaxconn` value and disabling transparent huge pages.
To do so, you can set up a privileged initContainer with the `sysctlImage` config values, for example:
```
sysctlImage:
enabled: true
mountHostSys: true
command:
- /bin/sh
- -c
- |-
sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=10000
echo never > /host-sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
```
Alternatively, for Kubernetes 1.12+ you can set `podSecurityContext.sysctls` which will configure sysctls for master and slave pods. Example:
```yaml
podSecurityContext:
sysctls:
- name: net.core.somaxconn
value: "10000"
```
Note that this will not disable transparent huge tables.
## Helm Upgrade
By default `cluster.init` will be set to `true` in order to initialize the Redis&reg; Cluster in the first installation. If for testing purposes you only want to deploy or upgrade the nodes but avoiding the creation of the cluster you can set `cluster.init` to `false`.
## Persistence
By default, the chart mounts a [Persistent Volume](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/) at the `/bitnami` path. The volume is created using dynamic volume provisioning.
## NetworkPolicy
To enable network policy for Redis&reg;, install
[a networking plugin that implements the Kubernetes NetworkPolicy spec](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/declare-network-policy#before-you-begin),
and set `networkPolicy.enabled` to `true`.
For Kubernetes v1.5 & v1.6, you must also turn on NetworkPolicy by setting
the DefaultDeny namespace annotation. Note: this will enforce policy for _all_ pods in the namespace:
kubectl annotate namespace default "net.beta.kubernetes.io/network-policy={\"ingress\":{\"isolation\":\"DefaultDeny\"}}"
With NetworkPolicy enabled, only pods with the generated client label will be
able to connect to Redis&reg;. This label will be displayed in the output
after a successful install.
With `networkPolicy.ingressNSMatchLabels` pods from other namespaces can connect to redis. Set `networkPolicy.ingressNSPodMatchLabels` to match pod labels in matched namespace. For example, for a namespace labeled `redis=external` and pods in that namespace labeled `redis-client=true` the fields should be set:
```yaml
networkPolicy:
enabled: true
ingressNSMatchLabels:
redis: external
ingressNSPodMatchLabels:
redis-client: true
```
### Setting Pod's affinity
This chart allows you to set your custom affinity using the `XXX.affinity` paremeter(s). Find more information about Pod's affinity in the [kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity).
As an alternative, you can use of the preset configurations for pod affinity, pod anti-affinity, and node affinity available at the [bitnami/common](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/common#affinities) chart. To do so, set the `XXX.podAffinityPreset`, `XXX.podAntiAffinityPreset`, or `XXX.nodeAffinityPreset` parameters.

## Upgrading
### To 7.0.0
This major release renames several values in this chart and adds missing features, in order to be inline with the rest of assets in the Bitnami charts repository.
Since this version performs changes in the statefulset, in order to upgrade from previous versions you need to delete the statefulset object before the upgrade.
```console
kubectl delete statefulset <statefulsetName>
helm upgrade <release-name> bitnami/redis-cluster --set redis.password=<REDIS_PASSWORD>
```
### To 6.0.0
The cluster initialization job have been removed. Instead, the pod with index 0 from the statefulset will handle the initialization of the cluster.
As consequence, the `initJob` configuration section have been removed.
### To 5.0.0
This major version updates the Redis&reg; docker image version used from `6.0` to `6.2`, the new stable version. There are no major changes in the chart and there shouldn't be any breaking changes in it as `6.2` breaking changes center around some command and behaviour changes. For more information, please refer to [Redis&reg; 6.2 release notes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redis/redis/6.2/00-RELEASENOTES).
### To 4.0.0
[On November 13, 2020, Helm v2 support was formally finished](https://github.com/helm/charts#status-of-the-project), this major version is the result of the required changes applied to the Helm Chart to be able to incorporate the different features added in Helm v3 and to be consistent with the Helm project itself regarding the Helm v2 EOL.
**What changes were introduced in this major version?**
- Previous versions of this Helm Chart use `apiVersion: v1` (installable by both Helm 2 and 3), this Helm Chart was updated to `apiVersion: v2` (installable by Helm 3 only). [Here](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/charts/#the-apiversion-field) you can find more information about the `apiVersion` field.
- Move dependency information from the *requirements.yaml* to the *Chart.yaml*
- After running `helm dependency update`, a *Chart.lock* file is generated containing the same structure used in the previous *requirements.lock*
- The different fields present in the *Chart.yaml* file has been ordered alphabetically in a homogeneous way for all the Bitnami Helm Charts
**Considerations when upgrading to this version**
- If you want to upgrade to this version from a previous one installed with Helm v3, you shouldn't face any issues
- If you want to upgrade to this version using Helm v2, this scenario is not supported as this version doesn't support Helm v2 anymore
- If you installed the previous version with Helm v2 and wants to upgrade to this version with Helm v3, please refer to the [official Helm documentation](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/v2_v3_migration/#migration-use-cases) about migrating from Helm v2 to v3

### To 3.0.0
This version of the chart adapts the chart to the most recent Bitnami best practices and standards. Most of the Redis&reg; parameters were moved to the `redis` values section (such as extraEnvVars, sidecars, and so on). No major issues are expected during the upgrade.
### To 2.0.0
The version `1.0.0` was using a label in the Statefulset's volumeClaimTemplate that didn't allow to upgrade the chart. The version `2.0.0` fixed that issue. Also it adds more docs in the README.md.
