I have a RKE2 kube installation, 3 nodes, I install MariaDB from BitNami repository:
- name: mariadb
repository: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
version: 10.3.2It boots up correctly in my kube installation, but I need to access it from outside the cluster, let's say with my Navicat client as example.
This is my values.yaml:
mariadb:
clusterDomain: a4b-kube.local
auth:
rootPassword: "password"
replicationPassword: "password"
architecture: replication
primary:
service:
type: LoadBalancer
loadBalancerIP: mariadb.acme.com
secondary:
replicaCount: 2Listing the services I see:
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
a4b-test-mariadb-primary LoadBalancer 10.43.171.45 <pending> 3306:31379/TCP 48m
And the external IP never gets updated, I also try specifing an IP instead of dns, in my case was 192.168.113.120 but I got same result. What am I missing?
You might consider using NodePort
mariadb:
clusterDomain: a4b-kube.local
auth:
rootPassword: "password"
replicationPassword: "password"
architecture: replication
primary:
service:
type: NodePort
nodePort: 32036
secondary:
replicaCount: 2nodePort: 32036 you can choose in range 30000 - 32767 (default)
Then, you can access via nodeIP:nodePort
You need an ingress controller to setup the EXTERNAL-IP. But if you have no intention to expose the database to the Internet; and the cluster nodes are network reachable to your client application, you can use NodePort instead of LoadBalancer. You can then connect to your database thru any of the 3 nodes with the node port from the outside of your cluster.
