rethinkdb-swarm

Automatically creates a RethinkDB cluster using Docker Swarm. You can use the supplied docker-compose.yml file as an example to deploy this project as a Docker Stack. The deploy.sh script uses the compose file to deploy a stack.

Deploying

When deploying your cluster, first add the stack to your swarm:

  $ ./deploy.sh

Then update one of your nodes to indicate it as a production node for rethinkdb:

  $ docker node update --label-add rethinkdb=production <NODE>

When the RethinkDB admin is accessible, add the label to your other nodes.

Healthcheck

Healthcheck is performed by probe.go, which is based on https://github.com/rosskukulinski/rethinkdb-kubernetes.

The probe connects to the server and executes a basic command.

Security

The RethinkDB Web Console is not secured by default. You should use a proxy for it (Traefik with Let's Encrypt certificates is my preference) or SSH tunnels. That's not part of this project.
