# K03- Installing OpenEBS as our CSI
`OpenEBS` is a _CSI_ solution capable of hyperconvergence, synchronous replication and other extra features.
It installs with `Helm` charts.
- `Flux` is able to watch `Helm` repositories and install `HelmReleases`
- To inject its configuration into the `Helm chart` , `Flux` relies on a `ConfigMap` including the `values.yaml` file
.lab[
```bash
k8s@shpod ~$ mkdir -p ./clusters/METAL/openebs/ && \
cp -pr ~/container.training/k8s/M6-openebs-*.yaml \
./clusters/METAL/openebs/ && \
cd ./clusters/METAL/openebs/ && \
mv M6-openebs-kustomization.yaml kustomization.yaml && \
cd -
```

## Creating an `Helm` source in Flux for OpenEBS Helm chart
.lab[
```bash
k8s@shpod ~$ flux create source helm openebs \
--url=https://openebs.github.io/openebs \
--interval=3m \
--export > ./clusters/METAL/openebs/sync.yaml
```
]
---
## Creating the `HelmRelease` in Flux
.lab[
```bash
k8s@shpod ~$ flux create helmrelease openebs \
--namespace=openebs \
--source=HelmRepository/openebs.flux-system \
--chart=openebs \
--values-from=ConfigMap/openebs-values \
--export >> ./clusters/METAL/openebs/sync.yaml
```

## 📂 Let's review the files
- `M6-openebs-components.yaml`
</br>To include the `Flux` resources in the same _namespace_ where `Flux` installs the `OpenEBS` resources, we need to create the _namespace_ **before** the installation occurs
- `sync.yaml`
</br>The resources `Flux` uses to watch and get the `Helm chart`
- `M6-openebs-values.yaml`
</br> the `values.yaml` file that will be injected into the `Helm chart`
- `kustomization.yaml`
</br>This one is a bit special: it includes a [ConfigMap generator](https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io/references/kustomize/kustomization/configmapgenerator/)
- `M6-openebs-kustomizeconfig.yaml`
</br></br>This one is tricky: in order for `Flux` to trigger an upgrade of the `Helm Release` when the `ConfigMap` is altered, you need to explain to the `Kustomize ConfigMap generator` how the resources are relating with each others. 🤯
And here we go!

## And the result
Now, we have a _cluster_ featuring `openEBS`.
But still… The PersistentVolumeClaim remains in `Pending` state!😭
```bash
k8s@shpod ~$ kubectl get storageclass
NAME PROVISIONER RECLAIMPOLICY VOLUMEBINDINGMODE ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION AGE
openebs-hostpath openebs.io/local Delete WaitForFirstConsumer false 82m
```
We still don't have a default `StorageClass`!😤
---
### Manually enforcing the default `StorageClass`
Even if Flux is constantly reconciling our resources, we still are able to test evolutions by hand.
.lab[
```bash
k8s@shpod ~$ flux suspend helmrelease openebs -n openebs
► suspending helmrelease openebs in openebs namespace
✔ helmrelease suspended
k8s@shpod ~$ kubectl patch storageclass openebs-hostpath \
-p '{"metadata": {"annotations":{"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class":"true"}}}'
k8s@shpod ~$ k get storageclass
NAME PROVISIONER RECLAIMPOLICY VOLUMEBINDINGMODE ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION AGE
openebs-hostpath (default) openebs.io/local Delete WaitForFirstConsumer false 82m
```
]

### Now the database is OK
```bash
k8s@shpod ~$ get pvc,pods -n movy-test
NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS VOLUMEATTRIBUTESCLASS AGE
persistentvolumeclaim/postgresql-data-db-0 Bound pvc-ede1634f-2478-42cd-8ee3-7547cd7cdde2 1Gi RWO openebs-hostpath <unset> 20m
