title: 使用 Helm 部署 TDengine 集群
---

Helm 是 Kubernetes 的包管理器，上一节使用 Kubernets 部署 TDengine 集群的操作已经足够简单，但 Helm 依然可以提供更强大的能力。

## 安装 Helm

```bash
curl -fsSL -o get_helm.sh \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get-helm-3
chmod +x get_helm.sh
./get_helm.sh

```

Helm 会使用 kubectl 和 kubeconfig 的配置来操作 Kubernetes，可以参考 Rancher 安装 Kubernetes 的配置来进行设置。

## 安装 TDengine Chart

TDengine Chart 尚未发布到 Helm 仓库，当前可以从 GitHub 直接下载：

```bash
wget https://github.com/taosdata/TDengine-Operator/raw/main/helm/tdengine-0.3.0.tgz

```

获取当前 Kubernetes 的存储类：

```bash
kubectl get storageclass

```

在 minikube 默认为 standard.

之后，使用 helm 命令安装：

```bash
helm install tdengine tdengine-0.3.0.tgz \
  --set storage.className=<your storage class name>

```

在 minikube 环境下，可以设置一个较小的容量避免超出磁盘可用空间：

```bash
helm install tdengine tdengine-0.3.0.tgz \
  --set storage.className=standard \
  --set storage.dataSize=2Gi \
  --set storage.logSize=10Mi

```

部署成功后，TDengine Chart 将会输出操作 TDengine 的说明：

```bash
export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default \
  -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=tdengine,app.kubernetes.io/instance=tdengine" \
  -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
kubectl --namespace default exec $POD_NAME -- taos -s "show dnodes; show mnodes"
kubectl --namespace default exec -it $POD_NAME -- taos

```

可以创建一个表进行测试：

```bash
kubectl --namespace default exec $POD_NAME -- \
  taos -s "create database test;
    use test;
    create table t1 (ts timestamp, n int);
    insert into t1 values(now, 1)(now + 1s, 2);
    select * from t1;"

```

## 配置 Values

TDengine 支持 `values.yaml` 自定义。

通过 helm show values 可以获取 TDengine Chart 支持的全部 values 列表：

```bash
helm show values tdengine-0.3.0.tgz

```

你可以将结果保存为 values.yaml，之后可以修改其中的各项参数，如 replica 数量，存储类名称，容量大小，TDengine 配置等，然后使用如下命令安装 TDengine 集群：

```bash
helm install tdengine tdengine-0.3.0.tgz -f values.yaml

```

全部参数如下：

```yaml
# Default values for tdengine.
# This is a YAML-formatted file.
# Declare variables to be passed into helm templates.

replicaCount: 1

image:
  prefix: tdengine/tdengine
  #pullPolicy: Always
  # Overrides the image tag whose default is the chart appVersion.
  #tag: "2.4.0.5"

  # ClusterIP is the default service type, use NodeIP only if you know what you are doing.
  type: ClusterIP
  ports:
    # TCP range required

resources:
  # We usually recommend not to specify default resources and to leave this as a conscious
  # choice for the user. This also increases chances charts run on environments with little
  # resources, such as Minikube. If you do want to specify resources, uncomment the following
  # lines, adjust them as necessary, and remove the curly braces after 'resources:'.

```

## 扩容

关于扩容可参考上一节的说明，有一些额外的操作需要从 helm 的部署中获取。

首先，从部署中获取 StatefulSet 的名称。

```bash
export STS_NAME=$(kubectl get statefulset \
  -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=tdengine" \
  -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")

```

扩容操作极其简单，增加 replica 即可。以下命令将 TDengine 扩充到三节点：

```bash
kubectl scale --replicas 3 statefulset/$STS_NAME

```

使用命令 `show dnodes` 和 `show mnodes` 检查是否扩容成功。

## 缩容

:::warning
缩容操作并没有完整测试，可能造成数据风险，请谨慎使用。

:::

获取需要缩容的 dnode 列表，并手动 Drop。

```bash
kubectl --namespace default exec $POD_NAME -- \
  cat /var/lib/taos/dnode/dnodeEps.json \
  | jq '.dnodeInfos[1:] |map(.dnodeFqdn + ":" + (.dnodePort|tostring)) | .[]' -r
kubectl --namespace default exec $POD_NAME -- taos -s "show dnodes"
kubectl --namespace default exec $POD_NAME -- taos -s 'drop dnode "<you dnode in list>"'

```

## 删除集群

Helm 管理下，清理操作也变得简单：

```bash
helm uninstall tdengine

```

但 Helm 也不会自动移除 PVC，需要手动获取 PVC 然后删除掉。
