Chapter 17. Backing up and restoring Red Hat Quay on a standalone deployment
Use the content within this section to back up and restore Red Hat Quay in standalone deployments.
17.1. Optional: Enabling read-only mode for Red Hat Quay
Enabling read-only mode for your Red Hat Quay deployment allows you to manage the registry’s operations. Red Hat Quay administrators can enable read-only mode to restrict write access to the registry, which helps ensure data integrity, mitigate risks during maintenance windows, and provide a safeguard against unintended modifications to registry data. It also helps to ensure that your Red Hat Quay registry remains online and available to serve images to users.
Prerequisites
If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.x:
- You have enabled the Red Hat Software Collections List (RHSCL).
- You have installed Python 3.6.
-
You have downloaded the
virtualenv
package. -
You have installed the
git
CLI.
If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8:
- You have installed Python 3 on your machine.
-
You have downloaded the
python3-virtualenv
package. -
You have installed the
git
CLI.
-
You have cloned the
https://github.com/quay/quay.git
repository.
17.1.1. Creating service keys for standalone Red Hat Quay
Red Hat Quay uses service keys to communicate with various components. These keys are used to sign completed requests, such as requesting to scan images, login, storage access, and so on.
Procedure
If your Red Hat Quay registry is readily available, you can generate service keys inside of the
Quay
registry container.Enter the following command to generate a key pair inside of the
Quay
container:$ podman exec quay python3 tools/generatekeypair.py quay-readonly
If your Red Hat Quay is not readily available, you must generate your service keys inside of a virtual environment.
Change into the directory of your Red Hat Quay deployment and create a virtual environment inside of that directory:
$ cd <$QUAY>/quay && virtualenv -v venv
Activate the virtual environment by entering the following command:
$ source venv/bin/activate
Optional. Install the
pip
CLI tool if you do not have it installed:$ venv/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
In your Red Hat Quay directory, create a
requirements-generatekeys.txt
file with the following content:$ cat << EOF > requirements-generatekeys.txt cryptography==3.4.7 pycparser==2.19 pycryptodome==3.9.4 pycryptodomex==3.9.4 pyjwkest==1.4.2 PyJWT==1.7.1 Authlib==1.0.0a2 EOF
Enter the following command to install the Python dependencies defined in the
requirements-generatekeys.txt
file:$ venv/bin/pip install -r requirements-generatekeys.txt
Enter the following command to create the necessary service keys:
$ PYTHONPATH=. venv/bin/python /<path_to_cloned_repo>/tools/generatekeypair.py quay-readonly
Example output
Writing public key to quay-readonly.jwk Writing key ID to quay-readonly.kid Writing private key to quay-readonly.pem
Enter the following command to deactivate the virtual environment:
$ deactivate
17.1.2. Adding keys to the PostgreSQL database
Use the following procedure to add your service keys to the PostgreSQL database.
Prerequistes
- You have created the service keys.
Procedure
Enter the following command to enter your Red Hat Quay database environment:
$ podman exec -it postgresql-quay psql -U postgres -d quay
Display the approval types and associated notes of the
servicekeyapproval
by entering the following command:quay=# select * from servicekeyapproval;
Example output
id | approver_id | approval_type | approved_date | notes ----+-------------+----------------------------------+----------------------------+------- 1 | | ServiceKeyApprovalType.AUTOMATIC | 2024-05-07 03:47:48.181347 | 2 | | ServiceKeyApprovalType.AUTOMATIC | 2024-05-07 03:47:55.808087 | 3 | | ServiceKeyApprovalType.AUTOMATIC | 2024-05-07 03:49:04.27095 | 4 | | ServiceKeyApprovalType.AUTOMATIC | 2024-05-07 03:49:05.46235 | 5 | 1 | ServiceKeyApprovalType.SUPERUSER | 2024-05-07 04:05:10.296796 | ...
Add the service key to your Red Hat Quay database by entering the following query:
quay=# INSERT INTO servicekey (name, service, metadata, kid, jwk, created_date, expiration_date) VALUES ('quay-readonly', 'quay', '{}', '{<contents_of_.kid_file>}', '{<contents_of_.jwk_file>}', '{<created_date_of_read-only>}', '{<expiration_date_of_read-only>}');
Example output
INSERT 0 1
Next, add the key approval with the following query:
quay=# INSERT INTO servicekeyapproval ('approval_type', 'approved_date', 'notes') VALUES ("ServiceKeyApprovalType.SUPERUSER", "CURRENT_DATE", {include_notes_here_on_why_this_is_being_added});
Example output
INSERT 0 1
Set the
approval_id
field on the created service key row to theid
field from the created service key approval. You can use the followingSELECT
statements to get the necessary IDs:UPDATE servicekey SET approval_id = (SELECT id FROM servicekeyapproval WHERE approval_type = 'ServiceKeyApprovalType.SUPERUSER') WHERE name = 'quay-readonly';
UPDATE 1
17.1.3. Configuring read-only mode for standalone Red Hat Quay
After the service keys have been created and added to your PostgreSQL database, you must restart the Quay
container on your standalone deployment.
Prerequisites
- You have created the service keys and added them to your PostgreSQL database.
Procedure
Shutdown all Red Hat Quay instances on all virtual machines. For example:
$ podman stop <quay_container_name_on_virtual_machine_a>
$ podman stop <quay_container_name_on_virtual_machine_b>
Enter the following command to copy the contents of the
quay-readonly.kid
file and thequay-readonly.pem
file to the directory that holds your Red Hat Quay configuration bundle:$ cp quay-readonly.kid quay-readonly.pem $Quay/config
Enter the following command to set file permissions on all files in your configuration bundle folder:
$ setfacl -m user:1001:rw $Quay/config/*
Modify your Red Hat Quay
config.yaml
file and add the following information:# ... REGISTRY_STATE: readonly INSTANCE_SERVICE_KEY_KID_LOCATION: 'conf/stack/quay-readonly.kid' INSTANCE_SERVICE_KEY_LOCATION: 'conf/stack/quay-readonly.pem' # ...
- Distribute the new configuration bundle to all Red Hat Quay instances.
Start Red Hat Quay by entering the following command:
$ podman run -d --rm -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \ --name=quay-main-app \ -v $QUAY/config:/conf/stack:Z \ -v $QUAY/storage:/datastorage:Z \ {productrepo}/{quayimage}:{productminv}
After starting Red Hat Quay, a banner inside in your instance informs users that Red Hat Quay is running in read-only mode. Pushes should be rejected and a 405 error should be logged. You can test this by running the following command:
$ podman push <quay-server.example.com>/quayadmin/busybox:test
Example output
613be09ab3c0: Preparing denied: System is currently read-only. Pulls will succeed but all write operations are currently suspended.
With your Red Hat Quay deployment on read-only mode, you can safely manage your registry’s operations and perform such actions as backup and restore.
Optional. After you are finished with read-only mode, you can return to normal operations by removing the following information from your
config.yaml
file. Then, restart your Red Hat Quay deployment:# ... REGISTRY_STATE: readonly INSTANCE_SERVICE_KEY_KID_LOCATION: 'conf/stack/quay-readonly.kid' INSTANCE_SERVICE_KEY_LOCATION: 'conf/stack/quay-readonly.pem' # ...
$ podman restart <container_id>
17.1.4. Updating read-only expiration time
The Red Hat Quay read-only key has an expiration date, and when that date passes the key is deactivated. Before the key expires, its expiration time can be updated in the database. To update the key, connect your Red Hat Quay production database using the methods described earlier and issue the following query:
quay=# UPDATE servicekey SET expiration_date = 'new-date' WHERE id = servicekey_id;
The list of service key IDs can be obtained by running the following query:
SELECT id, name, expiration_date FROM servicekey;
17.2. Backing up Red Hat Quay on standalone deployments
This procedure describes how to create a backup of Red Hat Quay on standalone deployments.
Procedure
Create a temporary backup directory, for example,
quay-backup
:$ mkdir /tmp/quay-backup
The following example command denotes the local directory that the Red Hat Quay was started in, for example,
/opt/quay-install
:$ podman run --name quay-app \ -v /opt/quay-install/config:/conf/stack:Z \ -v /opt/quay-install/storage:/datastorage:Z \ registry.redhat.io/quay/quay-rhel8:v3.11.3
Change into the directory that bind-mounts to
/conf/stack
inside of the container, for example,/opt/quay-install
, by running the following command:$ cd /opt/quay-install
Compress the contents of your Red Hat Quay deployment into an archive in the
quay-backup
directory by entering the following command:$ tar cvf /tmp/quay-backup/quay-backup.tar.gz *
Example output:
config.yaml config.yaml.bak extra_ca_certs/ extra_ca_certs/ca.crt ssl.cert ssl.key
Back up the Quay container service by entering the following command:
$ podman inspect quay-app | jq -r '.[0].Config.CreateCommand | .[]' | paste -s -d ' ' - /usr/bin/podman run --name quay-app \ -v /opt/quay-install/config:/conf/stack:Z \ -v /opt/quay-install/storage:/datastorage:Z \ registry.redhat.io/quay/quay-rhel8:v3.11.3
Redirect the contents of your
conf/stack/config.yaml
file to your temporaryquay-config.yaml
file by entering the following command:$ podman exec -it quay cat /conf/stack/config.yaml > /tmp/quay-backup/quay-config.yaml
Obtain the
DB_URI
located in your temporaryquay-config.yaml
by entering the following command:$ grep DB_URI /tmp/quay-backup/quay-config.yaml
Example output:
$ postgresql://<username>:test123@172.24.10.50/quay
Extract the PostgreSQL contents to your temporary backup directory in a backup .sql file by entering the following command:
$ pg_dump -h 172.24.10.50 -p 5432 -d quay -U <username> -W -O > /tmp/quay-backup/quay-backup.sql
Print the contents of your
DISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_CONFIG
by entering the following command:DISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_CONFIG: default: - S3Storage - s3_bucket: <bucket_name> storage_path: /registry s3_access_key: <s3_access_key> s3_secret_key: <s3_secret_key> host: <host_name> s3_region: <region>
Export the
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
by using theaccess_key
credential obtained in Step 7:$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access_key>
Export the
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
by using thesecret_key
obtained in Step 7:$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_key>
Sync the
quay
bucket to the/tmp/quay-backup/blob-backup/
directory from thehostname
of yourDISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_CONFIG
:$ aws s3 sync s3://<bucket_name> /tmp/quay-backup/blob-backup/ --source-region us-east-2
Example output:
download: s3://<user_name>/registry/sha256/9c/9c3181779a868e09698b567a3c42f3744584ddb1398efe2c4ba569a99b823f7a to registry/sha256/9c/9c3181779a868e09698b567a3c42f3744584ddb1398efe2c4ba569a99b823f7a download: s3://<user_name>/registry/sha256/e9/e9c5463f15f0fd62df3898b36ace8d15386a6813ffb470f332698ecb34af5b0d to registry/sha256/e9/e9c5463f15f0fd62df3898b36ace8d15386a6813ffb470f332698ecb34af5b0d
It is recommended that you delete the quay-config.yaml
file after syncing the quay
bucket because it contains sensitive information. The quay-config.yaml
file will not be lost because it is backed up in the quay-backup.tar.gz
file.
17.3. Restoring Red Hat Quay on standalone deployments
This procedure describes how to restore Red Hat Quay on standalone deployments.
Prerequisites
- You have backed up your Red Hat Quay deployment.
Procedure
Create a new directory that will bind-mount to
/conf/stack
inside of the Red Hat Quay container:$ mkdir /opt/new-quay-install
Copy the contents of your temporary backup directory created in Backing up Red Hat Quay on standalone deployments to the
new-quay-install1
directory created in Step 1:$ cp /tmp/quay-backup/quay-backup.tar.gz /opt/new-quay-install/
Change into the
new-quay-install
directory by entering the following command:$ cd /opt/new-quay-install/
Extract the contents of your Red Hat Quay directory:
$ tar xvf /tmp/quay-backup/quay-backup.tar.gz *
Example output:
config.yaml config.yaml.bak extra_ca_certs/ extra_ca_certs/ca.crt ssl.cert ssl.key
Recall the
DB_URI
from your backed-upconfig.yaml
file by entering the following command:$ grep DB_URI config.yaml
Example output:
postgresql://<username>:test123@172.24.10.50/quay
Run the following command to enter the PostgreSQL database server:
$ sudo postgres
Enter psql and create a new database in 172.24.10.50 to restore the quay databases, for example,
example_restore_registry_quay_database
, by entering the following command:$ psql "host=172.24.10.50 port=5432 dbname=postgres user=<username> password=test123" postgres=> CREATE DATABASE example_restore_registry_quay_database;
Example output:
CREATE DATABASE
Connect to the database by running the following command:
postgres=# \c "example-restore-registry-quay-database";
Example output:
You are now connected to database "example-restore-registry-quay-database" as user "postgres".
Create a
pg_trmg
extension of your Quay database by running the following command:example_restore_registry_quay_database=> CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm;
Example output:
CREATE EXTENSION
Exit the postgres CLI by entering the following command:
\q
Import the database backup to your new database by running the following command:
$ psql "host=172.24.10.50 port=5432 dbname=example_restore_registry_quay_database user=<username> password=test123" -W < /tmp/quay-backup/quay-backup.sql
Example output:
SET SET SET SET SET
Update the value of
DB_URI
in yourconfig.yaml
frompostgresql://<username>:test123@172.24.10.50/quay
topostgresql://<username>:test123@172.24.10.50/example-restore-registry-quay-database
before restarting the Red Hat Quay deployment.NoteThe DB_URI format is
DB_URI postgresql://<login_user_name>:<login_user_password>@<postgresql_host>/<quay_database>
. If you are moving from one PostgreSQL server to another PostgreSQL server, update the value of<login_user_name>
,<login_user_password>
and<postgresql_host>
at the same time.In the
/opt/new-quay-install
directory, print the contents of yourDISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_CONFIG
bundle:$ cat config.yaml | grep DISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_CONFIG -A10
Example output:
DISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_CONFIG: default: DISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_CONFIG: default: - S3Storage - s3_bucket: <bucket_name> storage_path: /registry s3_access_key: <s3_access_key> s3_region: <region> s3_secret_key: <s3_secret_key> host: <host_name>
NoteYour
DISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_CONFIG
in/opt/new-quay-install
must be updated before restarting your Red Hat Quay deployment.Export the
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
by using theaccess_key
credential obtained in Step 13:$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access_key>
Export the
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
by using thesecret_key
obtained in Step 13:$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_key>
Create a new s3 bucket by entering the following command:
$ aws s3 mb s3://<new_bucket_name> --region us-east-2
Example output:
$ make_bucket: quay
Upload all blobs to the new s3 bucket by entering the following command:
$ aws s3 sync --no-verify-ssl \ --endpoint-url <example_endpoint_url> 1 /tmp/quay-backup/blob-backup/. s3://quay/
- 1
- The Red Hat Quay registry endpoint must be the same before backup and after restore.
Example output:
upload: ../../tmp/quay-backup/blob-backup/datastorage/registry/sha256/50/505edb46ea5d32b5cbe275eb766d960842a52ee77ac225e4dc8abb12f409a30d to s3://quay/datastorage/registry/sha256/50/505edb46ea5d32b5cbe275eb766d960842a52ee77ac225e4dc8abb12f409a30d upload: ../../tmp/quay-backup/blob-backup/datastorage/registry/sha256/27/27930dc06c2ee27ac6f543ba0e93640dd21eea458eac47355e8e5989dea087d0 to s3://quay/datastorage/registry/sha256/27/27930dc06c2ee27ac6f543ba0e93640dd21eea458eac47355e8e5989dea087d0 upload: ../../tmp/quay-backup/blob-backup/datastorage/registry/sha256/8c/8c7daf5e20eee45ffe4b36761c4bb6729fb3ee60d4f588f712989939323110ec to s3://quay/datastorage/registry/sha256/8c/8c7daf5e20eee45ffe4b36761c4bb6729fb3ee60d4f588f712989939323110ec ...
Before restarting your Red Hat Quay deployment, update the storage settings in your config.yaml:
DISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_CONFIG: default: DISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_CONFIG: default: - S3Storage - s3_bucket: <new_bucket_name> storage_path: /registry s3_access_key: <s3_access_key> s3_secret_key: <s3_secret_key> s3_region: <region> host: <host_name>
