How To Run OpenDJ in Kubernetes - OpenIdentityPlatform/OpenDJ GitHub Wiki

Preface

This article describes how to deploy OpenDJ on Kubernetes. We will use OpenDJ Docker image from Docker Hub Registry https://hub.docker.com/r/openidentityplatform/opendj/

In this tutorial, we will use Minikube as a local Kubernetes cluster. kubectl should also be installed

Start Minikube with at least 4 cores, and 8 GB of memory to avoid insufficient resources errors.

minikube start --cpus=4 --memory=8g

Create OpenDJ Service

The following service will be used for DNS lookups between OpenAM Pods and clients.

Create opendj-service.yaml file with the following contents:

opendj-service.yaml:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  labels:
    app: opendj
  name: opendj
spec:
  clusterIP: None
  ports:
  - port: 1389
    name: ldap
  - port: 1636
    name: ldaps
  - port: 4444
    name: admin
  selector:
    app: opendj

Then create service in Kubernetes using kubectl:

kubectl apply -f opendj-service.yaml

Make sure the service has been created:

kubectl get svc opendj

NAME     TYPE        CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                      AGE
opendj   ClusterIP   None         <none>        1389/TCP,1636/TCP,4444/TCP   39s

Create OpenAM StatefulSet

Create opendj-statefulset.yaml file with the following contents:

opendj-statefulset.yaml:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: StatefulSet
metadata:
  name: opendj
  labels:
    app: opendj
spec:
  serviceName: opendj
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: opendj
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: opendj
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: opendj
        image: openidentityplatform/opendj
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        ports:
        - containerPort: 1389
          protocol: TCP
        - containerPort: 1636
          protocol: TCP
        - containerPort: 4444
          protocol: TCP
        resources: {}
        terminationMessagePath: /dev/termination-log
        terminationMessagePolicy: File
        volumeMounts:
        - name: opendj-data
          mountPath: /opt/opendj/data
  volumeClaimTemplates:
  - metadata:
      name: opendj-data
    spec:
      accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ]
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 1Gi

Create OpenDJ StatefulSet in Kubernetes

kubectl apply -f opendj-statefulset.yaml

Check if StatefulSet is wokring

kubectl get statefulset opendj

NAME     READY   AGE
opendj   1/1     2m

Wait for pod is created

Get created Pods

kubectl get pods -l="app=opendj"
NAME       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
opendj-0   1/1     Running   0          2m42s

Check OpenDJ status

Lets check OpenDJ pod status

$ kubectl exec -it opendj-0 -- /opt/opendj/bin/status  --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" --bindPassword password
