jira	Using OpenEBS as storage for Jira on Kubernetes	Jira

---

Introduction

Jira is a product designed to provide issue tracking and assist in moving tasks through the software development lifecycle. For this example we are leveraging a container image created by Kelsey Hightower. We will be creating a deployment and a service in this example.

Requirements

1. Install OpenEBS

   If OpenEBS is not installed in your K8s cluster, this can done from here. If OpenEBS is already installed, go to the next step.

2. Configure cStor Pool

   If cStor Pool is not configured in your OpenEBS cluster, this can be done from here. Sample YAML named openebs-config.yaml for configuring cStor Pool is provided in the configuration details below. If cStor pool is already configured, go to the next step.

3. Create Storage Class

   You must configure a StorageClass to provision cStor volume on cStor pool. In this solution, we are using a StorageClass to consume the cStor Pool which is created using external disks attached on the Nodes. The storage pool is created using the steps provided in the Step 3. Since Jira is a deployment application, it requires three replication at the storage level. So cStor volume replicaCount is 3. Sample YAML named openebs-sc-disk.yaml to consume cStor pool with cStor volume replica count as 3 is provided in the configuration details below.

Deployment of Jira with OpenEBS

Next apply both the Jira deployment and service to your Kubernetes cluster. There is an example at the bottom of this guide for both.

kubectl apply -f jira.yaml

Verify Jira Pods

Run the following to get the status of PostgreSQL pods.

kubectl get pods

Following is an example output.

NAME                    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
jira-5bd96c488d-2gj8p   1/1     Running   0          2d14h

Configuration Details

openebs-config.yaml

#Use the following YAMLs to create a cStor Storage Pool.
# and associated storage class.
apiVersion: openebs.io/v1alpha1
kind: StoragePoolClaim
metadata:
  name: cstor-disk
spec:
  name: cstor-disk
  type: disk
  poolSpec:
    poolType: striped
  # NOTE - Appropriate disks need to be fetched using `kubectl get blockdevices -n openebs`
  #
  # `Block devices` is a custom resource supported by OpenEBS with `node-disk-manager`
  # as the disk operator
# Replace the following with actual disk CRs from your cluster `kubectl get blockdevices -n openebs`
# Uncomment the below lines after updating the actual disk names.
  blockDevices:
    blockDeviceList:
# Replace the following with actual disk CRs from your cluster from `kubectl get blockdevices -n openebs`
#   - blockdevice-69cdfd958dcce3025ed1ff02b936d9b4
