Pre-requisites¶

Install Helm following its official installation instructions.

Installation¶

1. Add the Percona’s Helm charts repository and make your Helm client up to date with it:

   helm repo add percona https://percona.github.io/percona-helm-charts/
   helm repo update
   

2. Install the Percona XtraDB Cluster Operator:

   helm install my-op percona/pxc-operator
   

   The my-op parameter in the above example is the name of a new release object which is created for the Operator when you install its Helm chart (use any name you like).

   Note

   If nothing explicitly specified, helm install command will work with default namespace. To use different namespace, provide it with the following additional parameter: --namespace my-namespace.

3. Install Percona XtraDB Cluster:

   helm install my-db percona/pxc-db
   

   The my-db parameter in the above example is the name of a new release object which is created for the Percona XtraDB Cluster when you install its Helm chart (use any name you like).

Installing Percona XtraDB Cluster with customized parameters¶

The command above installs Percona XtraDB Cluster with default parameters. Custom options can be passed to a helm install command as a --set key=value[,key=value] argument. The options passed with a chart can be any of the Operator’s Custom Resource options.

The following example will deploy a Percona XtraDB Cluster Cluster in the pxc namespace, with disabled backups and 20 Gi storage:

helm install my-db percona/pxc-db --namespace pxc \
  --set pxc.volumeSpec.resources.requests.storage=20Gi \
  --set backup.enabled=false
