Apache Geode packaged by Bitnami

What is Apache Geode?

Apache Geode is a data management platform that provides advanced capabilities for data-intensive applications.

Overview of Apache Geode

Trademarks: This software listing is packaged by Bitnami. The respective trademarks mentioned in the offering are owned by the respective companies, and use of them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

TL;DR

$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-geode/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d

Warning: This quick setup is only intended for development environments. You are encouraged to change the insecure default credentials and check out the available configuration options in the Environment Variables section for a more secure deployment.

Why use Bitnami Images?

  • Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
  • With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
  • Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
  • All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution.
  • All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Docker Content Trust (DCT). You can use DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1 to verify the integrity of the images.
  • Bitnami container images are released daily with the latest distribution packages available.

How to deploy Apache Geode in Kubernetes?

Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the Bitnami Apache Geode Chart GitHub repository.

Bitnami containers can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.

Why use a non-root container?

Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers in our docs.

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page.

Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami Apache Geode Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.

$ docker pull bitnami/geode:latest

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.

$ docker pull bitnami/geode:[TAG]

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself.

$ docker build -t bitnami/geode:latest 'https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-geode.git#master:1/debian-10'

How to use this image

Run the application using Docker Compose

The main folder of this repository contains a functional docker-compose.yml file. Run the application using it as shown below:

$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-geode/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d

Using the Docker Command Line

If you want to run the application manually instead of using docker-compose, these are the basic steps you need to run:

Step 0: Create a network

$ docker network create geode-network

Step 1: Create volumes for Apache Geode persistence and launch the container

$ docker volume create --name geode_data
$ docker run -d --name geode -p 7070:7070 \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --network geode-network \
  --volume geode_data:/bitnami/geode \
  bitnami/geode:latest

Access your application at http://your-ip/

Persisting your application

If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.

For persistence you should mount a directory at the /bitnami/geode path. If the mounted directory is empty, it will be initialized on the first run.

To avoid inadvertent removal of volumes, you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.

Mount host directories as data volumes with Docker Compose

This requires a minor change to the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:

   geode:
     ...
     volumes:
-      - 'geode_data:/bitnami/geode'
+      - /path/to/geode-persistence:/bitnami/geode
   ...
-volumes:
-  geode_data:
-    driver: local

NOTE: As this is a non-root container, the mounted files and directories must have the proper permissions for the UID 1001.

Mount host directories as data volumes using the Docker command line

Step 0: Create a network

$ docker network create geode-network

Step 1. Create the Apache Geode container with host volumes

$ docker run -d --name geode -p 7070:7070 \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --network geode-network \
  --volume /path/to/geode-persistence:/bitnami/geode \
  bitnami/geode:latest

Configuration

Environment variables

When you start the Apache Geode image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the docker run command line. If you want to add a new environment variable:

  • For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section in the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:
geode:
  ...
  environment:
    - GEODE_ENABLE_SECURITY=yes
    - GEODE_SECURITY_PASSWORD=my_password
  ...
  • For manual execution add a --env option with each variable and value:

    $ docker run -d --name geode -p 7070:7070 \
      --env GEODE_ENABLE_SECURITY=yes \
      --env GEODE_SECURITY_PASSWORD=my_password \

Security

The Bitnami Apache Geode Docker image does not enable security mechanisms by default, please remember this is not recommended for production environments.

Authentication & Authorization

In order to implement authentication and authorization mechanisms, you need to configure a Security Manager that implements the "SecurityManager" interface. To enable authentication and authorization on this container, set the GEODE_ENABLE_SECURITY environment variable to yes and set GEODE_SECURITY_MANAGER with the FQDN of the desired class that implements the "SecurityManager" interface.

Learn more about the Security Manager in the Apache Geode documentation.

By default this container uses this ExampleSecurityManager as Security Manager, which is based on JSON resource called security.json where you can define your users and roles.When the security.json is not provided, this container generates a very simple one that:

  • Configures authentication for user defined at GEODE_SECURITY_USERNAME using the password defined at GEODE_SECURITY_PASSWORD.
  • Authorizes the user defined at GEODE_SECURITY_USERNAME with all the privileges.

To use a custom security.json, mount it into /opt/bitnami/geode/extensions on every Apache Geode container in the cluster.

Note: The "ExampleSecurityManager" is not recommended for production environments

TLS authentication

You can also configure TLS for authentication between members and to protect your data during distribution. TLS authentication can be configured for every component or only on certain communications (e.g. only communication with and between locators). This container exposes the GEODE_SECURITY_TLS_COMPONENTS so you can choose the components for which to enable TLS (none by default).

Note: TLS authentication can be alone or in conjunction with the authentication provided by the Security Manager

To configure TLS, you must use your own certificates. You can drop your Java Key Stores into /bitnami/geode/config/certs. If the JKS certs are password protected (recommended), you will need to provide them also setting GEODE_SECURITY_TLS_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD and GEODE_SECURITY_TLS_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD.

If your Java Key Stores are mounted in a different location than /opt/bitnami/geode/config/certs/geode.keystore.jks and /opt/bitnami/geode/config/certs/geode.truststore.jks, set the environment variables GEODE_SECURITY_TLS_KEYSTORE_FILE and GEODE_SECURITY_TLS_TRUSTSTORE_FILE with the name of the path where you mounted your key store and trust store files, respectively.

The following script (intended for Kafka but valid for Apache Geode) can help you with the creation of the JKS and certificates:

Keep in mind the following notes:

  • Set the Common Name or FQDN values to your Apache Geode container hostname, e.g. geode.example.com. After entering this value, when prompted "What is your first and last name?", enter this value as well.
    • As an alternative, you can disable host name verification setting the environment variable GEODE_SECURITY_TLS_ENDPOINT_IDENTIFICATION_ENABLED to no.
  • Each Apache Geode Cache server and Locator needs its own keystore. You will have to repeat the process for each of the member in the cluster.

Learn more about the TLS configuration in the Apache Geode documentation.

The following Docker Compose is just an example showing how to enable TLS authentication communications for between clients and servers, and mount your JKS certificates protected by the password pass123 in a Apache Geode standalone Cache server:

version: '2.1'

services:
  geode:
    image: 'bitnami/geode:latest'
    ports:
      - 7070:7070
    environment:
      - GEODE_ENABLE_SECURITY=yes
      - GEODE_SECURITY_TLS_COMPONENTS=server
      - GEODE_SECURITY_TLS_ENDPOINT_IDENTIFICATION_ENABLED=no
      - GEODE_SECURITY_TLS_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=pass123
      - GEODE_SECURITY_TLS_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD=pass123

    volumes:
      - './geode.keystore.jks:/bitnami/geode/config/certs/geode.keystore.jks:ro'
      - './geode.truststore.jks:/bitnami/geode/config/certs/geode.truststore.jks:ro'

Setting up an Apache Geode Cluster

An Apache Geode cluster with both Locators and Chache server nodes can easily be setup with the Bitnami Apache Geode Docker image. To do so, this image exposes a set of useful environment variables.

Using the Docker Command Line

Step 0: Create a network

Create a Docker network to enable visibility between Apache Geode nodes:

$ docker network create geode-network --driver bridge
Step 1: Create an Apache Geode Locator

The first step is to create an Apache Geode Locator node.

$ docker run --name geode-locator -p 7070:7070 \
  --network geode-network \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env GEODE_NODE_NAME=locator \
  --env GEODE_NODE_TYPE=locator \
  --env GEODE_ADVERTISED_HOSTNAME=geode-locator \
  bitnami/geode:development
Step 2: Create the first Apache Geode Cache server

Then, we can create our fist Apache Geode Cache server node.

$ docker run --name geode-server-0 \
  --network geode-network \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env GEODE_NODE_NAME=server-0 \
  --env GEODE_NODE_TYPE=server \
  --env GEODE_ADVERTISED_HOSTNAME=geode-server-0 \
  --env GEODE_LOCATORS=geode-locator[10334] \
  bitnami/geode:development
Step 3: Create the second Apache Geode Cache server

Next, we create a new Apache Geode Cache server node.

$ docker run --name geode-server-1 \
  --network geode-network \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env GEODE_NODE_NAME=server-1 \
  --env GEODE_NODE_TYPE=server \
  --env GEODE_ADVERTISED_HOSTNAME=geode-server-1 \
  --env GEODE_LOCATORS=geode-locator[10334] \
  bitnami/geode:development

You now have a Apache Geode cluster up and running. You can scale the cluster by adding/removing new nodes without incurring any downtime.

Using Docker Compose

The main folder of this repository contains a functional docker-compose-cluster.yml file. Run an Apache Geode cluster using it as shown below:

$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-geode/master/docker-compose-cluster.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d

Full configuration

The image looks for configuration files (gemfire.properties, cache.xml, log4j2.xml, etc.) in the /bitnami/geode/config/ directory. Find very simple examples below.

Using the Docker Command Line

$ docker run -d --name geode -p 7070:7070 \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --volume /path/to/gemfire.properties:/bitnami/geode/config/gemfire.properties:ro \
  bitnami/geode:latest

After that, your custom configuration will be taken into account to start the Apache Geode node.

Using Docker Compose

Modify the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository as follows:

...
services:
  geode:
    ...
    volumes:
      - 'geode_data:/bitnami/geode'
+     - /path/to/gemfire.properties:/bitnami/geode/config/gemfire.properties:ro

After that, your custom configuration will be taken into account to start the Apache Geode node.

Logging

The Bitnami Apache Geode Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs:

$ docker logs geode

Or using Docker Compose:

$ docker-compose logs geode

You can configure the containers logging driver using the --log-driver option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file driver.

Initializing a new instance

When the container is launched, it will execute the files with extension .sh located at /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d.

In order to have your custom files inside the docker image you can mount them as a volume.

$ docker run --name geode \
  -v /path/to/init-scripts:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d \
  bitnami/geode:latest

Or with Docker Compose:

geode:
  image: bitnami/geode:latest
  volumes:
    - /path/to/init-scripts:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d

Maintenance

Backing up your container

To backup your data and configuration, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Export the configuration (optional)

Unless you're using the Cluster Configuration Service (only available when running locator nodes), the configuration is not persisted. To avoid losing your configuration in standalone Cache servers, you can export it as it's explained in the Apache Geode documentation.

Step 2: Stop the currently running container

$ docker stop geode

Or using Docker Compose:

$ docker-compose stop geode

Step 3: Run the backup command

We need to mount two volumes in a container we will use to create the backup: a directory on your host to store the backup in, and the volumes from the container we just stopped so we can access the data.

$ docker run --rm -v /path/to/geode-backups:/backups --volumes-from geode busybox \
  cp -a /bitnami/geode:latest /backups/latest

Or using Docker Compose:

$ docker run --rm -v /path/to/geode-backups:/backups --volumes-from `docker-compose ps -q geode` busybox \
  cp -a /bitnami/geode:latest /backups/latest

Restoring a backup

Restoring a backup is as simple as mounting the backup as volumes in the container.

$ docker run -v /path/to/geode-backups/latest:/bitnami/geode bitnami/geode:latest

You can also modify the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:

geode:
  volumes:
    - /path/to/geode-backups/latest:/bitnami/geode

Note: if you exported your node configuration, you can restore in your Apache Geode node by mountin the configuration files as explained in the [Full Confiuration section)[#full-configuration].

Upgrade this image

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of Kafka, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container.

Step 1: Get the updated image

$ docker pull bitnami/geode:latest

or if you're using Docker Compose, update the value of the image property to bitnami/geode:latest.

Step 2: Stop and backup the currently running container

Before continuing, you should backup your container's data, configuration and logs.

Follow the steps on creating a backup.

Step 3: Remove the currently running container

$ docker rm -v geode

Or using Docker Compose:

$ docker-compose rm -v geode

Step 4: Run the new image

Re-create your container from the new image, restoring your backup if necessary.

$ docker run --name geode bitnami/geode:latest

Or using Docker Compose:

$ docker-compose up geode
