Customized Default Setting

Overview

During Longhorn system deployment, users can customize the default settings for Longhorn. e.g. specify Create Default Disk With Node Labeled and Default Data Path before starting the Longhorn system.

Usage

Note:

  1. This default setting is only for Longhorn system that hasn't been deployed. And it has no impact on the existing Longhorn system.
  2. The users should modify the settings for an existing Longhorn system via UI.

Via Rancher UI

[Cluster] -> System -> Apps -> Launch -> longhorn -> LONGHORN DEFAULT SETTINGS

Via Longhorn deployment yaml file

  1. Download the longhorn repo:
git clone https://github.com/longhorn/longhorn.git
  1. Modify the config map named longhorn-default-setting in the yaml file longhorn/deploy/longhorn.yaml. For example:
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: longhorn-default-setting
  namespace: longhorn-system
data:
  default-setting.yaml: |-
    backup-target: s3://backupbucket@us-east-1/backupstore
    backup-target-credential-secret: minio-secret 
    create-default-disk-labeled-nodes: true
    default-data-path: /var/lib/rancher/longhorn-example/
    replica-soft-anti-affinity: false
    storage-over-provisioning-percentage: 600
    storage-minimal-available-percentage: 15
    upgrade-checker: false
    default-replica-count: 2
    guaranteed-engine-cpu:
    default-longhorn-static-storage-class: longhorn-static-example
    backupstore-poll-interval: 500
    taint-toleration: key1=value1:NoSchedule; key2:NoExecute
---

Via helm

  1. Download the chart in the longhorn repo:
git clone https://github.com/longhorn/longhorn.git

2.1. Use helm command with --set flag to modify the default settings. For example:

helm install ./longhorn/chart --name longhorn --namespace longhorn-system --set defaultSettings.taintToleration="key1=value1:NoSchedule; key2:NoExecute"

2.2. Or directly modifying the default settings in the yaml file longhorn/chart/values.yaml then using helm command without --set to deploy Longhorn. For example:

In longhorn/chart/values.yaml:

defaultSettings:
  backupTarget: s3://backupbucket@us-east-1/backupstore
  backupTargetCredentialSecret: minio-secret 
  createDefaultDiskLabeledNodes: true
  defaultDataPath: /var/lib/rancher/longhorn-example/
  replicaSoftAntiAffinity: false
  storageOverProvisioningPercentage: 600
  storageMinimalAvailablePercentage: 15
  upgradeChecker: false
  defaultReplicaCount: 2
  guaranteedEngineCPU:
  defaultLonghornStaticStorageClass: longhorn-static-example
  backupstorePollInterval: 500
  taintToleration: key1=value1:NoSchedule; key2:NoExecute

Then use helm command:

helm install ./longhorn/chart --name longhorn --namespace longhorn-system
