3.2. Set up Load Balancer and Database


On the first two systems (q01 and q02), install the haproxy load balancer and postgresql database. Haproxy will be configured as the access point and load balancer for the following services running on other systems:

  • Red Hat Quay (ports 80 and 443 on B systems)
  • Redis (port 6379 on B systems)
  • RADOS (port 7480 on C systems)

Because the services on the two systems run as containers, you also need the docker service running. Here’s how to set up the A systems:

  1. Install and start docker service: Install, start, and enable the docker service.
  2. Open ports for haproxy service: Open all haproxy ports in SELinux and selected haproxy ports in the firewall:

    # setsebool -P haproxy_connect_any=on
    # firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=6379/tcp --add-port=7480/tcp
    success
    # firewall-cmd --reload
    success
  3. Set up haproxy service: Configure the /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg to point to the systems and ports providing the Red Hat Quay, Redis, and Ceph RADOS services. Here are examples of defaults and added frontend and backend settings:

    #---------------------------------------------------------------------
    # common defaults that all the 'listen' and 'backend' sections will
    # use if not designated in their block
    #---------------------------------------------------------------------
    defaults
        mode                    tcp
        log                     global
        option                  httplog
        option                  dontlognull
        option http-server-close
        option forwardfor       except 127.0.0.0/8
        option                  redispatch
        retries                 3
        timeout http-request    10s
        timeout queue           1m
        timeout connect         10s
        timeout client          1m
        timeout server          1m
        timeout http-keep-alive 10s
        timeout check           10s
        maxconn                 3000
    
    #---------------------------------------------------------------------
    # main frontend which proxys to the backends
    #---------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    frontend  fe_http *:80
        default_backend             be_http
    frontend  fe_https *:443
        default_backend             be_https
    frontend fe_redis *:6379
       default_backend              be_redis
    frontend  fe_rdgw *:7480
        default_backend             be_rdgw
    backend be_http
        balance     roundrobin
        server quay01 quay01:80 check
        server quay02 quay02:80 check
        server quay03 quay03:80 check
    backend be_https
        balance     roundrobin
        server quay01 quay01:443 check
        server quay02 quay02:443 check
        server quay03 quay03:443 check
    backend be_rdgw
        balance     roundrobin
        server ceph01 ceph01:7480 check
        server ceph02 ceph02:7480 check
        server ceph03 ceph03:7480 check
    backend be_redis
    server quay01 quay01:6380 check inter 1s
    server quay02 quay02:6380 check inter 1s
    server quay03 quay03:6380 check inter 1s

    Once the new haproxy.cfg file is in place, restart the haproxy service.

    # systemctl restart haproxy
  4. Install / Deploy a Database: Install, enable and start the PostgreSQL database container. The following commands will:

    • Start the PostgreSQL database with the user, password and database all set. Data from the container will be stored on the host system in the /var/lib/pgsql/data directory.
    • List available extensions.
    • Create the pg_trgm extension.
    • Confirm the extension is installed

      $ mkdir -p /var/lib/pgsql/data
      $ chmod 777 /var/lib/pgsql/data
      $ sudo docker run -d --name postgresql_database \
          -v /var/lib/pgsql/data:/var/lib/pgsql/data:Z  \
          -e POSTGRESQL_USER=quayuser -e POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=quaypass \
          -e POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=quaydb -p 5432:5432 \
          rhscl/postgresql-96-rhel7
      
      $ sudo docker exec -it postgresql_database /bin/bash -c 'echo "SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions" | /opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/root/usr/bin/psql'
         name    | default_version | installed_version |           comment
      -----------+-----------------+-------------------+----------------------------------------
       adminpack | 1.0             |                   | administrative functions for PostgreSQL
      ...
      
      $ sudo docker exec -it postgresql_database /bin/bash -c 'echo "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm;" | /opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/root/usr/bin/psql -d quaydb'
      
      $ sudo docker exec -it postgresql_database /bin/bash -c 'echo "SELECT * FROM pg_extension" | /opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/root/usr/bin/psql'
       extname | extowner | extnamespace | extrelocatable | extversion | extconfig | extcondition
      ---------+----------+--------------+----------------+------------+-----------+--------------
       plpgsql |       10 |           11 | f              | 1.0        |           |
       pg_trgm |       10 |         2200 | t              | 1.3        |           |
      (2 rows)
      
      $ sudo docker exec -it postgresql_database /bin/bash -c 'echo "ALTER USER quayuser WITH SUPERUSER;" | /opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/root/usr/bin/psql'
      ALTER ROLE
  5. Open the firewall: If you have a firewalld service active on your system, run the following commands to make the PostgreSQL port available through the firewall:

    # firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=trusted --add-port=5432/tcp
    success
    # firewall-cmd --reload
    success
  6. Test PostgreSQL Connectivity: Use the psql command to test connectivity to the PostgreSQL database. Try this on a remote system as well, to make sure you can access the service remotely:

    # yum install postgresql -y
    
    # psql -h localhost quaydb quayuser
    Password for user test:
    psql (9.2.23, server 9.6.5)
    WARNING: psql version 9.2, server version 9.6.
             Some psql features might not work.
    Type "help" for help.
