Percona mysql xtradb helm commands not working

I tried installing mysql percona xtraDB, it installs fine but the output it generates after the helm chat installation to interact with the pods are not working.

Install steps

helm repo add percona https://percona.github.io/percona-helm-charts/
helm repo update
kubectl create ns pxc
 helm install my-op percona/pxc-operator --namespace pxc

helm install my-db percona/pxc-db  --namespace pxc  --set pxc.volumeSpec.resources.requests.storage=20Gi --set pxc.spec.crVersion="1.11.0"

now these create outputs like below

NOTES:
1. To get a MySQL prompt inside your new cluster you can run:

    ROOT_PASSWORD=`kubectl -n pxc get secrets my-db-pxc-db -o jsonpath="{.data.root}" | base64 --decode`
    kubectl -n pxc exec -ti \
      my-db-pxc-db-pxc-0 -- mysql -uroot -p"$ROOT_PASSWORD"

2. To connect an Application running in the same Kubernetes cluster you can connect with:


$ kubectl run -i --tty --rm percona-client --image=percona --restart=Never \
  -- mysql -h my-db-pxc-db-proxysql.pxc.svc.cluster.local -uroot -p"$ROOT_PASSWORD"


Both of the above commands give error

kubectl run -i --tty --rm percona-client --image=percona --restart=Never \
  -- mysql -h my-db-pxc-db-proxysql.pxc.svc.cluster.local -uroot -p"$ROOT_PASSWORD"
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'my-db-pxc-db-proxysql.pxc.svc.cluster.local' (2)
pod "percona-client" deleted
pod default/percona-client terminated (Error)

above works when I change the -h to my-db-pxc-db-pxc.pxc.svc.cluster.local

another one

ROOT_PASSWORD=`kubectl -n pxc get secrets my-db-pxc-db -o jsonpath="{.data.root}" | base64 --decode`
    kubectl -n pxc exec -ti \                                                      
      my-db-pxc-db-pxc-0 -- mysql -uroot -p"$ROOT_PASSWORD"
Defaulted container "logs" out of: logs, logrotate, pxc, pxc-init (init)
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

above will work if I add -c pxc as the container to log into

So the helm outputs are wrong or is it something I am not doing right ?

My pods looks fine

kubectl get pods -n pxc
NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE

Hey @Saiyam_Pathak ,

seems like we have not updated the helm chart output after we introduced log containers. We will fix this (PR).
Going with -c pxc looks like a good fix.

Your installation looks fine for me.

Also the above helm chart does not create and PV , and created emptyDIr which is not good, anyway I can get the PV created and that is being used in the statefulsets? Then only its actually usable.

Hi @Saiyam_Pathak!
You can specify options for passwords and PVC’s like this:

helm install my-db percona/pxc-db --set secrets.passwords.root=aaa --set pxc.persistence.enabled=true --set pxc.persistence.size=20G

All the options available should be visible here: percona-helm-charts/README.md at main · percona/percona-helm-charts · GitHub

helm install my-db percona/pxc-db  --namespace pxc  --set spec.crVersion="1.11.0" --set secrets.passwords.root=$PERCONA_ROOT_PASSWORD --set pxc.persistence.enabled=true --set pxc.persistence.size=$VOLUME_SIZE

this will install percona mysql xtradb one with persistence and custom password

Should it be --set spec.crVersion=“1.11.0” or pxc.–set spec.crVersion=“1.11.0” ? @Tomislav_Plavcic

The helm installation steps doesn’t work at me as well:

ROOT_PASSWORD=kubectl -n my-namespace get secrets my-db-pxc-db -o jsonpath="{.data.root}" | base64 --decode
kubectl -n my-namespace exec -ti my-db-pxc-db-pxc-0 – mysql -uroot -p"$ROOT_PASSWORD"

Error from server (NotFound): pods “my-db-pxc-db-pxc-0” not found
