Secure MySQL using Acme Protocol issued TLS certificates

Overview

KubeDB is the Kubernetes Native Database Management Solution which simplifies and automates routine database tasks such as Provisioning, Monitoring, Upgrading, Patching, Scaling, Volume Expansion, Backup, Recovery, Failure detection, and Repair for various popular databases on private and public clouds. The databases that KubeDB supports are MySQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, Elasticsearch, Redis, PostgreSQL, ProxySQL, Percona XtraDB, Memcached and PgBouncer. You can find the guides to all the supported databases here . In this tutorial we will show how to secure MySQL server using ACME Protocol issued TLS certificates with KubeDB. As we cannot use ACME Protocol issued TLS certificates directly to MysQL, we are going to use KubeDB provisioned ProxySQL server to secure the client connections with ACME protocol issued TLS certificates. We will cover the following steps:

  1. Install KubeDB
  2. Install cert-manager
  3. Deploy Sample MySQL Database
  4. Deploy ProxySQL with ACME Protocol issued TLS certificates
  5. Setup Ingress to expose ProxySQL
  6. Use MySQL database from Developer Workstation

Install KubeDB

We will follow the steps to install KubeDB.

Get Cluster ID

We need the cluster ID to get the KubeDB License. To get cluster ID we can run the following command:

$ kubectl get ns kube-system -o jsonpath='{.metadata.uid}'
1490c3e4-da9f-4f12-8bd2-92c5f5fb41b6

Get License

Go to Appscode License Server to get the license.txt file. For this tutorial we will use KubeDB Enterprise Edition.

License Server

Install KubeDB

We will use helm to install KubeDB. Please install helm here if it is not already installed. Now, let’s install KubeDB.

$ helm repo add appscode https://charts.appscode.com/stable/
$ helm repo update

Deploy Sample MySQL Database

Now, we are going to Deploy MySQL using KubeDB. Let’s create a Namespace in which we will deploy the database.

$ kubectl create ns demo
namespace/demo created

Here is the yaml of the MySQL CRO we are going to use:

apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1alpha2
kind: MySQL
metadata:
  name: mysql-server
  namespace: demo
spec:
  topology:
    mode: GroupReplication
  replicas: 3
  version: "8.0.29"
  storageType: Durable
  storage:
    storageClassName: linode-block-storage
    accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
    resources:
      requests:
        storage: 1Gi
  terminationPolicy: Wipeout

Let’s save this yaml configuration into mysql-server.yaml Then create the above MySQL CRO

$ kubectl create -f mysql-server.yaml
mysql.kubedb.com/mysql-server created
  • In this yaml we can see in the spec.version field specifies the version of MySQL. Here, we are using MySQL version 8.0.29. You can list the KubeDB supported versions of MySQL by running $ kubectl get mysqlversions command.
  • spec.storage specifies PVC spec that will be dynamically allocated to store data for this database. This storage spec will be passed to the StatefulSet created by KubeDB operator to run database pods. You can specify any StorageClass available in your cluster with appropriate resource requests.
  • And the spec.terminationPolicy field is Wipeout means that the database will be deleted without restrictions. It can also be “Halt”, “Delete” and “DoNotTerminate”. Learn More about these HERE .

Install cert-manager

Now, we are going to install cert-manager by the following command:

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.10.1/cert-manager.yaml

Note: We are installing cert-manager version v1.10.1, you can specify your cert-manager version from HERE

Create an Issuer & Secret

Here, we are going to create an Issuer and Secret by using this yaml,

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Issuer
metadata:
  name: bytebuilders-xyz
  namespace: demo
spec:
  acme:
    # server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    server: https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    email: tasdid@appscode.com
    # Name of a secret used to store the ACME account private key
    privateKeySecretRef:
      name: bytebuilders-xyz-acme
    # ACME DNS-01 provider configurations
    solvers:
    # An empty 'selector' means that this solver matches all domains
    - selector: {}
      dns01:
        cloudflare:
          email: tasdid@appscode.com
          apiTokenSecretRef:
            name: bytebuilders-xyz-cloudflare
            key: api-token

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: bytebuilders-xyz-cloudflare
  namespace: demo
type: Opaque
stringData:
  api-token: "$CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN"

Let’s save this yaml configuration into issuer.yaml and apply it,

$ kubectl apply -f issuer.yaml 
issuer.cert-manager.io/bytebuilders-xyz created
secret/bytebuilders-xyz-cloudflare created

We will use this issuer to provision ProxySQL in the next step.

Deploy ProxySQL

Now, we are going to Deploy ProxySQL using KubeDB.

Here is the yaml of the ProxySQL

apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1alpha2
kind: ProxySQL
metadata:
  name: proxy-server
  namespace: demo
spec:
  version: "2.4.4-debian"
  replicas: 1
  mode: GroupReplication
  backend:
    name: mysql-server
  syncUsers: true
  tls:
    issuerRef:
      apiGroup: cert-manager.io
      kind: Issuer
      name: bytebuilders-xyz
    certificates:
    - alias: server
      dnsNames:
      - proxy.kubedb.cloud
  terminationPolicy: Delete
  healthChecker:
    failureThreshold: 3

Let’s save this yaml configuration into proxy-server.yaml Then create the above ProxySQL CRO

$ kubectl create -f proxy-server.yaml
proxysql.kubedb.com/proxy-server created

Here in the .spec.backend section we need to mention the name of the backend appbinding. Let’s get the current backend appbinding that has been auto generated by KubeDB while deploying the MySQL :

$ kubectl get appbinding -n demo mysql-server -oyaml

apiVersion: appcatalog.appscode.com/v1alpha1
kind: AppBinding
metadata:

            value: --all-databases --set-gtid-purged=OFF
        restoreTask:

If you have external(not provisioned by KubeDB) MySQL, you may refer to this doc on what is appbinding and how to create one for MySQL.

Now, let’s check the certificate related objects that have been created in the cluster:

Setup Ingress to expose ProxySQL

Now, in this section we are going to setup ingress to expose our ProxySQL. We will use the same TLS certificate for the ingress that has been created for ProxySQL server.

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    cert-manager.io/issuer: bytebuilders-xyz
  name: kubedb
  namespace: demo
spec:
  ingressClassName: nginx
  rules:
  - host: proxy.kubedb.cloud
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          service:
            name: proxy-server
            port:
              number: 6033
        path: /
        pathType: Prefix
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - proxy.kubedb.cloud
    secretName: proxy-server-server-cert

Let’s save this yaml configuration into ingress.yaml and apply it,

kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml 
ingress.networking.k8s.io/kubedb created

Now, install Nginx ingress controller to set TCP port and expose the MySQL database:

helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx
helm upgrade -i ingress-nginx ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx  \
  --namespace demo --create-namespace \
  --set tcp.6033="demo/proxy-server:6033"

Setup DNS using external-dns (optional)

Now, we are going to setum DNS by using external-dns:

provider: cloudflare
sources:
- ingress
domainFilters:
- kubedb.cloud

env:
- name: CF_API_TOKEN
  value: "$CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN"

policy: sync

logLevel: debug

registry: txt
txtOwnerId: ingress-kubedb

extraArgs:
- --ignore-ingress-tls-spec

Let’s save this yaml configuration into external-dns.yaml

$ helm repo add external-dns https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/external-dns/
$ helm upgrade -i ingress-kubedb external-dns/external-dns \
  -n demo \
  -f external-dns.yaml

Once all of the above steps are handled correctly you will see that the following objects are created:

$ kubectl get all -n demo

Use MySQL database from Developer Workstation

Now, we will access the MySQL database through the ProxySQL server and create some sample data into it. To access the database through CLI, we have to get the credentials to access. We are going to use mysql-server-auth to get the credentials.

$ kubectl view-secret mysql-server-auth --all
password=aj.9sWpsqVNd798T
username=root

Let’s insert some sample data into the MySQL database,

$ docker run -it mysql:8 bash
bash-4.4# mysql -h proxy.kubedb.cloud -uroot -p'aj.9sWpsqVNd798T' -P6033
