Razeedash-API is the interface used by

Requirements

  • Kubernetes CLI Tools
  • Kubernetes Cluster
  • MongoDB

Environment Variables

Name Required Default Value
MONGO_URL yes 'mongodb://localhost:3001/meteor'
MONGO_DB_NAME yes 'meteor'
S3_ENDPOINT no n/a
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID if S3_ENDPOINT defined n/a
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY if S3_ENDPOINT defined n/a
S3_LOCATION_CONSTRAINT no 'us-standard'
S3_CHANNEL_BUCKET no 'razee'
S3_RESOURCE_BUCKET no S3_CHANNEL_BUCKET or 'razee'
ORG_ADMIN_KEY no n/a
ADD_CLUSTER_WEBHOOK_URL no n/a
AUTH_MODEL no 'default' [default, local, passport.local] are supported

If S3_ENDPOINT is defined then encrypted cluster YAML is stored in S3 otherwise it will be stored in the mongoDB.

ORG_ADMIN_KEY is required if you plan on adding organizations using the api/v2/orgs endpoint

ADD_CLUSTER_WEBHOOK_URL signifies the webhook endpoint to hit when a cluster is added. Razee will do a POST request to this url with json data { org_id, cluster_id, cluster_name }. If a razeedash-add-cluster-webhook-headers-secret exists in the namespace, its key-value pairs will be used as headers in the request. For instance, if you would like to send an Authorization header in the request to verify that razee is sending the webhook, you can create a secret like so:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  namespace: razee
  name: razeedash-add-cluster-webhook-headers-secret
stringData:
  Authorization: SOME_APIKEY

For local development, put the headers as files in the /var/run/secrets/razeeio/razeedash-api/add-cluster-webhook-headers directory.
For instance:
echo "SOME_APIKEY" > /var/run/secrets/razeeio/razeedash-api/add-cluster-webhook-headers/Authorization
(you may need sudo to perform this operation).

OS/X

gettext package is default on most Linux systems. If you are using OS/X for local development you may need to install it in order to generate a deployment YAML.

If you are testing ./build/process-template.sh you will need brew installed and gettext.

brew update
brew install gettext
brew link --force gettext

Run locally for development

To run Razeedash-api locally, Redis and MongoDB can be easily run in containers:

Once Redis and MongoDB are running, execute:

export MONGO_URL=mongodb://meteor:secret@localhost:27117/meteor
export AUTH_MODEL=local
npm install
npm start

Install on Kubernetes

Setup so you can use kubectl commands on the target cluster. For IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service the following command will get the KUBECONFIG for your Kubernetes cluster and export the KUBECONFIG variable.

ibmcloud ks cluster-config <cluster name>

Create secrets and deploy

Generate a base64 encoding for the mongo_url to be used in the razeedash-secret. The following is an example of local mongo deployment. Not recommended for production use.

echo -n "mongodb://mongo:27017" | base64

Note: Production MongoDB usually is a minimum of 3 nodes using replica sets. That definition would look something like:

echo -n "mongodb://mongo‑0:27017,mongo‑1:27017,mongo‑2/razeedash?replicaSet=rs0&tls=true" | base64

tls=true should be at the end of your connection string when connecting to a hosted mongo.

Create file razeedash-secret.yaml using the generated string provided from the previous command.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: razeedash-secret
  namespace: razee
type: Opaque
data:
  mongo_url: bW9uZ29kYjovL21vbmdvOjI3MDE3L3JhemVlZGFzaAo=

Add org_admin_key to the data section of razeedash-secret in order to control organizations using the api/v2/orgs endpoint

echo -n abcdefghijklmnop012345678 | base64
# outputs YWJjZGVmZ2hpamtsbW5vcDAxMjM0NTY3OA==
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: razeedash-secret
  namespace: razee
type: Opaque
data:
  mongo_url: bW9uZ29kYjovL21vbmdvOjI3MDE3L3JhemVlZGFzaAo=
  org_admin_key: YWJjZGVmZ2hpamtsbW5vcDAxMjM0NTY3OA==

If you are using your own managed mongodb system, make sure you setup the mongo_url secret properly. For example, your mongo_url connection string might look something like this:

echo -n "mongodb://mongo‑0:27017,mongo‑1:27017,mongo‑2/razeedash?replicaSet=rs0&tls=true" | base64
# bW9uZ29kYjovL21vbmdv4oCRMDoyNzAxNyxtb25nb+KAkTE6MjcwMTcsbW9uZ2/igJEyL3JhemVlZGFzaD9yZXBsaWNhU2V0PXJzMCZ0bHM9dHJ1ZQ==

Note that tls=true should be at the end of your connection string.

You will also need to add mongo_cert to razeedash-secret. This will contain a base64 encoded copy of the tls certificate used to access your managed mongodb.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: razeedash-secret
  namespace: razee
type: Opaque
data:
  mongo_url: bW9uZ29kYjovL21vbmdv4oCRMDoyNzAxNyxtb25nb+KAkTE6MjcwMTcsbW9uZ2/igJEyL3JhemVlZGFzaD9yZXBsaWNhU2V0PXJzMCZ0bHM9dHJ1ZQ==
  mongo_cert: LS0tLS1CRUdJTiBDRVJUSUZJQ0FURS0tLS0tCnlvdXIgbW9uZ28gY2VydCBnb2VzIGhlcmUKLS0tLS1FTkQgQ0VSVElGSUNBVEUtLS0tLQo=

Apply the secret to kubernetes, build the resource.yml and apply to cluster:

kubectl apply -f razeedash-secret.yaml
./build/process-template.sh kubernetes/razeedash-api/resource.yaml >/tmp/resource.yaml
kubectl apply -f /tmp/resource.yaml

Check logs on all deployed pods to make sure there are no errors.

for i in `kubectl get pods -n razee --selector=app=razeedash-api | \
  grep razeedash-api | \
  awk '{print $1}'`; do kubectl logs ${i} -n razee --since 5m; done

Example deployment using IBM Cloud

This will deploy the razeedash-api and mongo on a 3 node cluster using IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service.

Note: In a production scenario it is recommended to used a managed Mongo database service, like IBM Cloud Databases for MongoDB.

Requirements:

Create Cluster

You can use a utility script ic_create_cluster.sh located in kube-cloud-scripts or follow the (IBM Containers CLI plugin documentation to create a cluster.

ic_create_cluster.sh --name razeetest

if you have an existing cluster and need to resize

ibmcloud ks worker-pool-resize \
  --cluster <cluster-name> \
  --worker-pool default \
  --size-per-zone 3

Once the cluster (ibmcloud ks clusters) is created and in a normal state, we need to get Kubernetes config.

ibmcloud ks cluster-config razeetest

Example

ibmcloud ks cluster-config razeetest
OK
The configuration for razeetest was downloaded successfully.

Export environment variables to start using Kubernetes.

export KUBECONFIG=~/.bluemix/plugins/container-service/clusters/razeetest/kube-config-wdc07-razeetest.yml

Note: Setup 3 node MongoDB Cluster must have a minimum of 3 nodes in order to statisfy Mongo. You can follow the guide Setting up clusters and workers to deploy a 3 node MongoDB replica set.

Deploy components

Deploy MongoDB and set up replica sets. This is based on the guide Deploy a MongoDB replica set using IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service Individually

# Add razee namespace, single mongo, razeedash secret
kubectl apply -f samples/namespace.yaml
kubectl apply -f samples/persistentVolume.yaml
kubectl apply -f samples/persistentVolumeClaim.yaml
kubectl apply -f samples/mongo.yaml
kubectl apply -f samples/service.yaml
kubectl apply -f samples/secret.yaml

or All in one command

# Add razee namespace, single mongo, razeedash secret
kubectl apply -f samples/allinone.yaml

Wait until mongo pods are ready. You can check the status via:

kubectl get pods

Once pods are in a Running state continue with the setup process

# Get latest release of razeedash-api and deploy
kubectl apply -f "https://github.com/razee-io/razeedash-api/releases/latest/download/resource.yaml"

Check logs across pods using kc_logs.sh script from kube-cloud-scripts

kc_logs.sh razee razeedash-api 1m

Swagger API

Swagger UI is available and if started locally can be accessed via the following URL: http://localhost:3333/api-docs/

GraphQL for local development

export AUTH_MODEL=local

Then start the razeedash-api server, you will see a message like bellow from the console

🏄 Apollo server listening on http://[::]:3333/graphql

the graphql playground is enabled and could be accessed at http://localhost:3333/graphql
if NODE_ENV is not equal to production. For local authorization model, signUp graphql
API is provided to sign-up a user, for example:

mutation {
  signUp(
    username: "[email protected]"
    email: "[email protected]"
    password: "password123"
    org_name: "test_org"
    role: "ADMIN"
  ) {
    token
  }
}

If a user is already signed up, then signIn api could be used to sign-in a user, for example:

mutation {
  signIn(login: "[email protected]" password:"password123") {
    token
  }
}

Both APIs return a JWT token, which you could use to query other graphql APIs. e.g. Following graphql query, will return organizations a user belongs to:

query {organizations {
  _id
  name
}}

With the following HTTP Header:

{"Authorization": "Bearer <the token value returned from signUp or signIn>"}

You could also query registrationUrl for the user, e.g.

query {
  registrationUrl(org_id: "<the orgnization_id returned from organizations graphql api >") {
    url
  }
}

With the following HTTP Header:

{"Authorization": "Bearer <the token value returned from signUp or signIn>"}

For all other supported graphql APIs, please click DOCS or SCHEMA from the graphql play-ground.
