Install MongoDB Addon for Stash
Stash uses Function-Task model to backup databases. This Function-Task model enables Stash to extend its capability via addons. In order to backup MongoDB databases, you have to install MongoDB addon (stash-mongodb) for Stash. This addon creates necessary Function and Task definitions to backup/restore MongoDB database.
You can install the addon either as a helm chart or you can create only the YAMLs of the respective resources.
Using Helm 3
Run the following script to install stash-mongodb addon as a Helm chart using Helm 3.
curl -fsSL https://github.com/stashed/catalog/raw/v2021.01.21/deploy/helm3.sh | bash -s -- --catalog=stash-mongodb
Using Helm 2
Run the following script to install stash-mongodb addon as a Helm chart using Helm 2.
curl -fsSL https://github.com/stashed/catalog/raw/v2021.01.21/deploy/helm2.sh | bash -s -- --catalog=stash-mongodb
Using YAML
Run the following script to install stash-mongodb addon as Kubernetes YAMLs.
curl -fsSL https://github.com/stashed/catalog/raw/v2021.01.21/deploy/script.sh | bash -s -- --catalog=stash-mongodb
The above script uses Helm 3 for rendering the charts to generate the YAMLs.
Verify Installation
After installation is completed, this addon will create mongodb-backup-* and mongodb-restore-* Functions and Tasks for all supported MongoDB versions. To verify, run the following command:
$ kubectl get functions.stash.appscode.com
NAME AGE
mongodb-backup-4.1 20s
mongodb-backup-4.0 20s
mongodb-backup-3.6 19s
mongodb-backup-3.4 20s
mongodb-restore-4.1 20s
mongodb-restore-4.0 20s
mongodb-restore-3.6 19s
mongodb-restore-3.4 20s
pvc-backup 7h6m
pvc-restore 7h6m
update-status 7h6m
Also, verify that the Task have been created.
$ kubectl get tasks.stash.appscode.com
NAME AGE
mongodb-backup-4.1 2m7s
mongodb-backup-4.0 2m7s
mongodb-backup-3.6 2m6s
mongodb-backup-3.4 2m7s
mongodb-restore-4.1 2m7s
mongodb-restore-4.0 2m7s
mongodb-restore-3.6 2m6s
mongodb-restore-3.4 2m7s
pvc-backup 7h7m
pvc-restore 7h7m
Now, Stash is ready to backup MongoDB databases.
Customizing Installation
In order to install Function and Task only for a specific MongoDB version, use --version flag to specify the desired database version.
curl -fsSL https://github.com/stashed/catalog/raw/v2021.01.21/deploy/helm3.sh | bash -s -- --catalog=stash-mongodb --version=3.6
The flowing flags are available for customizing MongoDB addon installation:
| Flag | Usage |
|---|---|
--version | Specify a specific version of a specific addon to install. Use it along with --catalog flag. |
--docker-registry | Specify the docker registry to use to pull respective addon images. Default Value: stashed. |
--image | Specify the name of the docker image to use for respective addons. |
--image-tag | Specify the tag of the docker image to use for respective addon. |
--backup-args | Specify optional arguments to pass to mongodump command during backup. These arguments apply to all MongoDB instances in this cluster. To set arguments for a specific MongoDB database instance, set args parameter in spec.task.params field of the respective BackupConfiguration. |
--restore-args | Specify optional arguments to pass to mongorestore command during restore. These arguments apply to all MongoDB instances in this cluster. To set arguments for a specific MongoDB database instance, set args parameter in spec.task.params field of the respective RestoreSession. |
