# ClickHouse packaged by Bitnami ClickHouse is an open-source column-oriented OLAP database management system. Use it to boost your database performance while providing linear scalability and hardware efficiency. [Overview of ClickHouse](https://clickhouse.com/) Trademarks: This software listing is packaged by Bitnami. The respective trademarks mentioned in the offering are owned by the respective companies, and use of them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement. ## TL;DR ```console helm repo add my-repo https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami helm install my-release my-repo/clickhouse ``` ## Introduction Bitnami charts for Helm are carefully engineered, actively maintained and are the quickest and easiest way to deploy containers on a Kubernetes cluster that are ready to handle production workloads. This chart bootstraps a [ClickHouse](https://github.com/clickhouse/clickhouse) Deployment in a [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager. Bitnami charts can be used with [Kubeapps](https://kubeapps.com/) for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters. [Learn more about the default configuration of the chart](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/infrastructure/clickhouse/get-started/). ## Prerequisites - Kubernetes 1.19+ - Helm 3.2.0+ - PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure - ReadWriteMany volumes for deployment scaling > If you are using Kubernetes 1.18, the following code needs to be commented out. > seccompProfile: > type: "RuntimeDefault" ## Installing the Chart To install the chart with the release name `my-release`: ```console helm repo add my-repo https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami helm install my-release my-repo/clickhouse ``` The command deploys ClickHouse on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation. > **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list` ## Uninstalling the Chart To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment: ```console helm delete my-release ``` The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release. ## Parameters ### Global parameters | Name | Description | Value | | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ----- | | `global.imageRegistry` | Global Docker image registry | `""` | | `global.imagePullSecrets` | Global Docker registry secret names as an array | `[]` | | `global.storageClass` | Global StorageClass for Persistent Volume(s) | `""` | ### Common parameters | Name | Description | Value | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | | `kubeVersion` | Override Kubernetes version | `""` | | `nameOverride` | String to partially override common.names.name | `""` | | `fullnameOverride` | String to fully override common.names.fullname | `""` | | `namespaceOverride` | String to fully override common.names.namespace | `""` | | `commonLabels` | Labels to add to all deployed objects | `{}` | | `commonAnnotations` | Annotations to add to all deployed objects | `{}` | | `clusterDomain` | Kubernetes cluster domain name | `cluster.local` | | `extraDeploy` | Array of extra objects to deploy with the release | `[]` | | `diagnosticMode.enabled` | Enable diagnostic mode (all probes will be disabled and the command will be overridden) | `false` | | `diagnosticMode.command` | Command to override all containers in the deployment | `["sleep"]` | | `diagnosticMode.args` | Args to override all containers in the deployment | `["infinity"]` | ### ClickHouse Parameters | Name | Description | Value | | --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | | `image.registry` | ClickHouse image registry | `docker.io` | | `image.repository` | ClickHouse image repository | `bitnami/clickhouse` | | `image.tag` | ClickHouse image tag (immutable tags are recommended) | `23.3.1-debian-11-r0` | | `image.digest` | ClickHouse image digest in the way sha256:aa....

`2888` | ### Zookeeper subchart parameters | Name | Description | Value | | -------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------ | | `zookeeper.enabled` | Deploy Zookeeper subchart | `true` | | `zookeeper.replicaCount` | Number of Zookeeper instances | `3` | | `zookeeper.service.ports.client` | Zookeeper client port | `2181` | See to create the table. The above parameters map to the env variables defined in [bitnami/clickhouse](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/clickhouse). For more information please refer to the [bitnami/clickhouse](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/clickhouse) image documentation. Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example, ```console helm install my-release \ --set auth.username=admin \ --set auth.password=password \ my-repo/clickhouse ``` The above command sets the ClickHouse administrator account username and password to `admin` and `password` respectively. > 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 above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example, ```console helm install my-release -f values.yaml my-repo/clickhouse ``` > **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml) ## 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. ### ClickHouse keeper support You can set `keeper.enabled` to use ClickHouse keeper. If `keeper.enabled=true`, Zookeeper settings will not be ignore. ### External Zookeeper support You may want to have ClickHouse connect to an external zookeeper rather than installing one inside your cluster. Typical reasons for this are to use a managed database service, or to share a common database server for all your applications. To achieve this, the chart allows you to specify credentials for an external database with the [`externalZookeeper` parameter](#parameters). You should also disable the Zookeeper installation with the `zookeeper.enabled` option. Here is an example: ```console zookeper.enabled=false externalZookeeper.host=myexternalhost externalZookeeper.user=myuser externalZookeeper.password=mypassword externalZookeeper.database=mydatabase externalZookeeper.port=3306 ``` ### TLS secrets The chart also facilitates the creation of TLS secrets for use with the Ingress controller, with different options for certificate management. [Learn more about TLS secrets](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/infrastructure/clickhouse/administration/enable-tls-ingress/)). ## Persistence The [Bitnami ClickHouse](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/clickhouse) image stores the ClickHouse data and configurations at the `/bitnami` path of the container. Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube. ### Additional 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 clickhouse: extraEnvVars: - name: LOG_LEVEL value: error ``` Alternatively, you can use a ConfigMap or a Secret with the environment variables. To do so, use the `extraEnvVarsCM` or the `extraEnvVarsSecret` values. ### Sidecars If additional containers are needed in the same pod as ClickHouse (such as additional metrics or logging exporters), they can be defined using the `sidecars` parameter. If these sidecars export extra ports, extra port definitions can be added using the `service.extraPorts` parameter. [Learn more about configuring and using sidecar containers](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/infrastructure/clickhouse/configuration/configure-sidecar-init-containers/). ### Ingress without TLS For using ingress (example without TLS): ```yaml ingress: ## If true, ClickHouse server Ingress will be created ## enabled: true ## ClickHouse server Ingress annotations ## annotations: {} # kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx # kubernetes.io/tls-acme: 'true' ## ClickHouse server Ingress hostnames ## Must be provided if Ingress is enabled ## hosts: - clickhouse.domain.com ``` ### Ingress TLS If your cluster allows automatic creation/retrieval of TLS certificates (e.g. [kube-lego](https://github.com/jetstack/kube-lego)), please refer to the documentation for that mechanism. To manually configure TLS, first create/retrieve a key & certificate pair for the address(es) you wish to protect. Then create a TLS secret (named `clickhouse-server-tls` in this example) in the namespace. Include the secret's name, along with the desired hostnames, in the Ingress TLS section of your custom `values.yaml` file: ```yaml ingress: ## If true, ClickHouse server Ingress will be created ## enabled: true ## ClickHouse server Ingress annotations ## annotations: {} # kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx # kubernetes.io/tls-acme: 'true' ## ClickHouse server Ingress hostnames ## Must be provided if Ingress is enabled ## hosts: - clickhouse.domain.com ## ClickHouse server Ingress TLS configuration ## Secrets must be manually created in the namespace ## tls: - secretName: clickhouse-server-tls hosts: - clickhouse.domain.com ``` ### Using custom scripts For advanced operations, the Bitnami ClickHouse chart allows using custom init and start scripts that will be mounted in `/docker-entrypoint.initdb.d` and `/docker-entrypoint.startdb.d` . The `init` scripts will be run on the first boot whereas the `start` scripts will be run on every container start. For adding the scripts directly as values use the `initdbScripts` and `startdbScripts` values. For using Secrets use the `initdbScriptsSecret` and `startdbScriptsSecret`. ```yaml initdbScriptsSecret: init-scripts-secret startdbScriptsSecret: start-scripts-secret ``` ### Pod affinity This chart allows you to set your custom affinity using the `affinity` parameter. Find more information about Pod affinity in the [kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity). As an alternative, use one of the preset configurations for pod affinity, pod anti-affinity, and node affinity available at the [bitnami/common](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/common#affinities) chart. To do so, set the `podAffinityPreset`, `podAntiAffinityPreset`, or `nodeAffinityPreset` parameters. ## Troubleshooting Find more information about how to deal with common errors related to Bitnami's Helm charts in [this troubleshooting guide](https://docs.bitnami.com/general/how-to/troubleshoot-helm-chart-issues). ## Upgrading ### To 2.0.0 This major updates the Zookeeper subchart to it newest major, 11.0.0. For more information on this subchart's major, please refer to [zookeeper upgrade notes](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/zookeeper#to-1100). ## License Copyright © 2023 Bitnami Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
