Harbor High Availability Guide

Goal

Deploy Harbor on K8S via helm to make it highly available, that is, if one of node that has Harbor's container running becomes un accessible. Users does not experience interrupt of service of Harbor.

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes cluster 1.20+
  • Helm v3.2.0+
  • High available ingress controller (Harbor does not manage the external endpoint)
  • High available PostgreSQL database (Harbor does not handle the deployment of HA of database)
  • High available Redis (Harbor does not handle the deployment of HA of Redis)
  • PVC that can be shared across nodes or external object storage

Architecture

Most of Harbor's components are stateless now. So we can simply increase the replica of the pods to make sure the components are distributed to multiple worker nodes, and leverage the "Service" mechanism of K8S to ensure the connectivity across pods.

As for storage layer, it is expected that the user provide high available PostgreSQL, Redis cluster for application data and PVCs or object storage for storing images and charts.

HA

Usage

Download Chart

Download Harbor helm chart:

helm repo add harbor https://helm.goharbor.io
helm fetch harbor/harbor --untar

Configuration

Configure the following items in values.yaml, you can also set them as parameters via --set flag during running helm install:

  • Ingress rule Configure the expose.ingress.hosts.core.

  • External URL Configure the externalURL.

  • External PostgreSQL Set the database.type to external and fill the information in database.external section.

    Four empty databases should be created manually for Harbor core, and configure them in the section. Harbor will create tables automatically when starting up.

  • External Redis Set the redis.type to external and fill the information in redis.external section. Redis sentinel is supported after v1.9.0, configure the redis.external.sentinelMasterSet and redis.external.addr to enable it.

  • Storage By default, a default StorageClass is needed in the K8S cluster to provision volumes to store images, charts and job logs.

    If you want to specify the StorageClass, set persistence.persistentVolumeClaim.registry.storageClass and persistence.persistentVolumeClaim.jobservice.storageClass.

    If you use StorageClass, for both default or specified one, set persistence.persistentVolumeClaim.registry.accessMode and persistence.persistentVolumeClaim.jobservice.accessMode as ReadWriteMany, and make sure that the persistent volumes must can be shared cross different nodes.

    You can also use the existing PVCs to store data, set persistence.persistentVolumeClaim.registry.existingClaim and persistence.persistentVolumeClaim.jobservice.existingClaim.

    If you have no PVCs that can be shared across nodes, you can use external object storage to store images and charts and store the job logs in database. Set the persistence.imageChartStorage.type to the value you want to use and fill the corresponding section and set jobservice.jobLoggers to database.

  • Replica Set portal.replicas, core.replicas, jobservice.replicas, registry.replicas to n(n>=2).

Installation

Install the Harbor helm chart with a release name my-release:

helm install my-release .
