In this post, I am going to show you how to run Orchestrator on FreeBSD. The instructions have been tested in FreeBSD 11.3 but the general steps should apply to other versions as well.
At the time of this writing, Orchestrator doesn’t provide FreeBSD binaries, so we will need to compile it.
The first step is to install the prerequisites. Let’s start by installing git:

We also need the go and rsync packages in order to compile:
|
1 |
[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ sudo pkg install go<br>Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...<br>FreeBSD repository is up to date.<br>All repositories are up to date.<br>The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):<br><br>New packages to be INSTALLED:<br>go: 1.13.7,1<br><br>Number of packages to be installed: 1<br><br>The process will require 266 MiB more space.<br>75 MiB to be downloaded.<br><br>Proceed with this action?

Now it is time to clone the repository from GitHub:
|
1 |
[vagrant@freebsd ~]$ git clone https://github.com/github/orchestrator.git<br>Cloning into 'orchestrator'...<br>remote: Enumerating objects: 56, done.<br>remote: Counting objects: 100% (56/56), done.<br>remote: Compressing objects: 100% (44/44), done.<br>remote: Total 28442 (delta 17), reused 32 (delta 10), pack-reused 28386<br>Receiving objects: 100% (28442/28442), 15.52 MiB | 3.60 MiB/s, done.<br>Resolving deltas: 100% (18006/18006), done.<br> |
The next step is to compile Orchestrator. According to the manual, we need to run script/build as follows:
|
1 |
[vagrant@freebsd ~]$ cd orchestrator/<br>[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ script/build<br>go version go1.13.7 freebsd/amd64 found in : Go Binary: /usr/local/bin/go<br>++ rm -rf .gopath<br>++ mkdir -p .gopath/src/github.com/github<br>++ ln -s /home/vagrant/orchestrator .gopath/src/github.com/github/orchestrator<br>++ export GOPATH=/home/vagrant/orchestrator/.gopath:/home/vagrant/orchestrator/.vendor<br>++ GOPATH=/home/vagrant/orchestrator/.gopath:/home/vagrant/orchestrator/.vendor<br>+ mkdir -p bin<br>+ bindir=/home/vagrant/orchestrator/bin<br>+ scriptdir=/home/vagrant/orchestrator/script<br>++ git rev-parse HEAD<br>+ version=548265494b3107ca2581d6ccee059e062a759b77<br>++ git describe --tags --always --dirty<br>+ describe=v3.1.4-2-g54826549<br>+ export GOPATH=/home/vagrant/orchestrator/.gopath<br>+ GOPATH=/home/vagrant/orchestrator/.gopath<br>+ cd .gopath/src/github.com/github/orchestrator<br>+ go build -i -o /home/vagrant/orchestrator/bin/orchestrator -ldflags '-X main.AppVersion=548265494b3107ca2581d6ccee059e062a759b77 -X main.BuildDescribe=v3.1.4-2-g54826549' ./go/cmd/orchestrator/main.go<br>+ rsync -qa ./resources /home/vagrant/orchestrator/bin/ |
Now, we have to move the compiled binary (and the additional files) to the final destination directory. In this case, I chose to use /usr/local/orchestrator.
|
1 |
[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/orchestrator<br>[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ mv /home/vagrant/orchestrator/bin/orchestrator /usr/local/orchestrator/<br>[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ mv /home/vagrant/orchestrator/bin/resources /usr/local/orchestrator/<br> |
We also need to create both an init script and operating system user for Orchestrator, for example:
|
1 |
[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ sudo pw useradd orchestrator -s /usr/sbin/nologin<br>[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ sudo vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/orchestrator<br><br>#!/bin/sh<br><br># PROVIDE: orchestrator<br># REQUIRE: LOGIN<br># KEYWORD: shutdown<br><br>#<br># Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable orchestrator:<br># orchestrator_enable (bool): Set to "NO" by default.<br># Set it to "YES" to enable MySQL.<br># orchestrator_dir (str): Default to "/usr/local/orchestrator"<br># Base configuration directory.<br># orchestrator_pidfile (str): Custom PID file path and name.<br># Default to "${orchestrator_dbdir}/${hostname}.pid".<br># orchestrator_args (str): Custom additional arguments to be passed<br># to orchestrator (default --verbose http).<br>#<br><br>. /etc/rc.subr<br><br>name="orchestrator"<br>rcvar=orchestrator_enable<br><br>load_rc_config $name<br><br>: ${orchestrator_enable="NO"}<br>: ${orchestrator_dir="/usr/local/orchestrator"}<br>: ${orchestrator_args="--verbose http"}<br><br>orchestrator_user="orchestrator"<br>: ${hostname:=`/bin/hostname`}<br>pidfile=${orchestrator_pidfile:-"${orchestrator_dir}/${hostname}.pid"}<br>procname="/usr/local/orchestrator/orchestrator"<br>command="/usr/sbin/daemon"<br>command_args="-p ${pidfile} ${orchestrator_dir}/orchestrator ${orchestrator_args} >> /var/log/${name}.log 2>&1"<br><br>run_rc_command "$1" |
We shouldn’t forget to set the proper permissions for the init script and the orchestrator directory:
|
1 |
[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/orchestrator <br>[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ sudo chown -R orchestrator: /usr/local/orchestrator |
Now let’s create a sample configuration file using the template available in GitHub:
|
1 |
[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ sudo vi /etc/orchestrator.conf.json<br><br>{<br>"Debug": true,<br>"EnableSyslog": false,<br>"ListenAddress": ":3000",<br>"MySQLTopologyUser": "orc_client_user",<br>"MySQLTopologyPassword": "orc_client_password",<br>"MySQLTopologyCredentialsConfigFile": "",<br>"MySQLTopologySSLPrivateKeyFile": "",<br>"MySQLTopologySSLCertFile": "",<br>"MySQLTopologySSLCAFile": "",<br>"MySQLTopologySSLSkipVerify": true,<br>"MySQLTopologyUseMutualTLS": false,<br>"BackendDB": "sqlite",<br>"SQLite3DataFile": "/usr/local/orchestrator/orchestrator.sqlite3",<br>"DefaultInstancePort": 3306,<br>"DiscoverByShowSlaveHosts": true,<br>"InstancePollSeconds": 5,<br>"DiscoveryIgnoreReplicaHostnameFilters": [<br>"a_host_i_want_to_ignore[.]example[.]com",<br>".*[.]ignore_all_hosts_from_this_domain[.]example[.]com"<br>],<br>"UnseenInstanceForgetHours": 240,<br>"SnapshotTopologiesIntervalHours": 0,<br>"InstanceBulkOperationsWaitTimeoutSeconds": 10,<br>"HostnameResolveMethod": "default",<br>"MySQLHostnameResolveMethod": "@@hostname",<br>"SkipBinlogServerUnresolveCheck": true,<br>"ExpiryHostnameResolvesMinutes": 60,<br>"RejectHostnameResolvePattern": "",<br>"ReasonableReplicationLagSeconds": 10,<br>"ProblemIgnoreHostnameFilters": [],<br>"VerifyReplicationFilters": false,<br>"ReasonableMaintenanceReplicationLagSeconds": 20,<br>"CandidateInstanceExpireMinutes": 60,<br>"AuditLogFile": "",<br>"AuditToSyslog": false,<br>"RemoveTextFromHostnameDisplay": ".mydomain.com:3306",<br>"ReadOnly": false,<br>"AuthenticationMethod": "",<br>"HTTPAuthUser": "",<br>"HTTPAuthPassword": "",<br>"AuthUserHeader": "",<br>"PowerAuthUsers": [<br>"*"<br>],<br>"ClusterNameToAlias": {<br>"127.0.0.1": "test suite"<br>},<br>"SlaveLagQuery": "",<br>"DetectClusterAliasQuery": "SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(@@hostname, '.', 1)",<br>"DetectClusterDomainQuery": "",<br>"DetectInstanceAliasQuery": "",<br>"DetectPromotionRuleQuery": "",<br>"DataCenterPattern": "[.]([^.]+)[.][^.]+[.]mydomain[.]com",<br>"PhysicalEnvironmentPattern": "[.]([^.]+[.][^.]+)[.]mydomain[.]com",<br>"PromotionIgnoreHostnameFilters": [],<br>"DetectSemiSyncEnforcedQuery": "",<br>"ServeAgentsHttp": false,<br>"AgentsServerPort": ":3001",<br>"AgentsUseSSL": false,<br>"AgentsUseMutualTLS": false,<br>"AgentSSLSkipVerify": false,<br>"AgentSSLPrivateKeyFile": "",<br>"AgentSSLCertFile": "",<br>"AgentSSLCAFile": "",<br>"AgentSSLValidOUs": [],<br>"UseSSL": false,<br>"UseMutualTLS": false,<br>"SSLSkipVerify": false,<br>"SSLPrivateKeyFile": "",<br>"SSLCertFile": "",<br>"SSLCAFile": "",<br>"SSLValidOUs": [],<br>"URLPrefix": "",<br>"StatusEndpoint": "/api/status",<br>"StatusSimpleHealth": true,<br>"StatusOUVerify": false,<br>"AgentPollMinutes": 60,<br>"UnseenAgentForgetHours": 6,<br>"StaleSeedFailMinutes": 60,<br>"SeedAcceptableBytesDiff": 8192,<br>"PseudoGTIDPattern": "",<br>"PseudoGTIDPatternIsFixedSubstring": false,<br>"PseudoGTIDMonotonicHint": "asc:",<br>"DetectPseudoGTIDQuery": "",<br>"BinlogEventsChunkSize": 10000,<br>"SkipBinlogEventsContaining": [],<br>"ReduceReplicationAnalysisCount": true,<br>"FailureDetectionPeriodBlockMinutes": 60,<br>"RecoveryPeriodBlockSeconds": 3600,<br>"RecoveryIgnoreHostnameFilters": [],<br>"RecoverMasterClusterFilters": [<br>"_master_pattern_"<br>],<br>"RecoverIntermediateMasterClusterFilters": [<br>"_intermediate_master_pattern_"<br>],<br>"OnFailureDetectionProcesses": [<br>"echo 'Detected {failureType} on {failureCluster}.

Finally, let’s configure Orchestrator to start at boot time, and start the service:
|
1 |
[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ sudo echo 'orchestrator_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf<br>[vagrant@freebsd ~/orchestrator]$ sudo service orchestrator start<br>Starting orchestrator. |
Happy Orchestrating!
