## Introduction

This chart bootstraps a [Schema Registry](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/schema-registry) statefulset on a [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.23+
- Helm 3.8.0+

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
helm install my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/schema-registry
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

These commands deploy Schema Registry on the Kubernetes cluster with the default configuration. The [parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Configuration and installation details

### Resource requests and limits

Bitnami charts allow setting resource requests and limits for all containers inside the chart deployment. These are inside the `resources` value (check parameter table). Setting requests is essential for production workloads and these should be adapted to your specific use case.

To make this process easier, the chart contains the `resourcesPreset` values, which automatically sets the `resources` section according to different presets. Check these presets in [the bitnami/common chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/blob/main/bitnami/common/templates/_resources.tpl#L15). However, in production workloads using `resourcesPreset` is discouraged as it may not fully adapt to your specific needs. Find more information on container resource management in the [official Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers/).

### [Rolling VS Immutable tags](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-understand-rolling-tags-containers-index.html)

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

### Enable authentication for Kafka

You can configure different authentication protocols for each listener you configure in Kafka. For instance, you can use `sasl_tls` authentication for client communications, while using `tls` for inter-broker communications. This table shows the available protocols and the security they provide:

| Method    | Authentication               | Encryption via TLS |
|-----------|------------------------------|--------------------|
| plaintext | None                         | No                 |
| tls       | None                         | Yes                |
| mtls      | Yes (two-way authentication) | Yes                |
| sasl      | Yes (via SASL)               | No                 |
| sasl_tls  | Yes (via SASL)               | Yes                |

Configure the authentication protocols for client and inter-broker communications by setting the *auth.clientProtocol* and *auth.interBrokerProtocol* parameters to the desired ones, respectively.

If you enabled SASL authentication on any listener, you can set the SASL credentials using the parameters below:

- `kafka.auth.sasl.jaas.clientUsers`/`kafka.auth.sasl.jaas.clientPasswords`: when enabling SASL authentication for communications with clients.
- `kafka.auth.sasl.jaas.interBrokerUser`/`kafka.auth.sasl.jaas.interBrokerPassword`:  when enabling SASL authentication for inter-broker communications.
- `kafka.auth.jaas.zookeeperUser`/`kafka.auth.jaas.zookeeperPassword`: In the case that the Zookeeper chart is deployed with SASL authentication enabled.

For instance, you can deploy the chart with the following parameters:

```console
kafka.auth.clientProtocol=sasl
kafka.auth.jaas.clientUsers[0]=clientUser
kafka.auth.jaas.clientPasswords[0]=clientPassword
```

### Securing Traffic using TLS

In order to configure TLS authentication/encryption, you **can** create a secret per Kafka broker you have in the cluster containing the Java Key Stores (JKS) files: the truststore (`kafka.truststore.jks`) and the keystore (`kafka.keystore.jks`). Then, you need pass the secret names with the `kafka.auth.tls.existingSecrets` parameter when deploying the chart.

> **Note**: If the JKS files are password protected (recommended), you will need to provide the password to get access to the keystores. To do so, use the `kafka.auth.tls.password` parameter to provide your password.

For instance, to configure TLS authentication on a cluster with 2 Kafka brokers, and 1 Schema Registry replica use the commands below to create the secrets:

```console
kubectl create secret generic schema-registry-jks --from-file=/schema-registry.truststore.jks --from-file=./schema-registry-0.keystore.jks
kubectl create secret generic kafka-jks-0 --from-file=kafka.truststore.jks=./kafka.truststore.jks --from-file=kafka.keystore.jks=./kafka-0.keystore.jks
kubectl create secret generic kafka-jks-1 --from-file=kafka.truststore.jks=./kafka.truststore.jks --from-file=kafka.keystore.jks=./kafka-1.keystore.jks
```

> **Note**: the command above assumes you already created the truststore and keystores files. This [script](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/confluentinc/confluent-platform-security-tools/master/kafka-generate-ssl.sh) can help you with the JKS files generation.

Then, deploy the chart with the following parameters:

```console
auth.kafka.jksSecret=schema-registry-jks
auth.kafka.keystorePassword=some-password
auth.kafka.truststorePassword=some-password
kafka.replicaCount=2
kafka.auth.clientProtocol=tls
kafka.auth.tls.existingSecrets[0]=kafka-jks-0
kafka.auth.tls.existingSecrets[1]=kafka-jks-1
kafka.auth.tls.password=jksPassword
```

In case you want to ignore hostname verification on Kafka certificates, set the parameter `auth.kafka.tls.endpointIdentificationAlgorithm` with an empty string `""`. In this case, you can reuse the same truststore and keystore for every Kafka broker and Schema Registry replica. For instance, to configure TLS authentication on a cluster with 2 Kafka brokers, and 1 Schema Registry replica use the commands below to create the secrets:

```console
kubectl create secret generic schema-registry-jks --from-file=schema-registry.truststore.jks=common.truststore.jks --from-file=schema-registry-0.keystore.jks=common.keystore.jks
kubectl create secret generic kafka-jks --from-file=kafka.truststore.jks=common.truststore.jks --from-file=kafka.keystore.jks=common.keystore.jks
```

### Backup and restore

To back up and restore Helm chart deployments on Kubernetes, you need to back up the persistent volumes from the source deployment and attach them to a new deployment using [Velero](https://velero.io/), a Kubernetes backup/restore tool. Find the instructions for using Velero in [this guide](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-backup-restore-deployments-velero-index.html).

### Adding extra flags

In case you want to add extra environment variables to Schema Registry, you can use `extraEnvs` parameter. For instance:

```yaml
extraEnvVars:
  - name: FOO
    value: BAR
```

### Using custom configuration

This helm chart supports using custom configuration for Schema Registry.

You can specify the configuration for Schema Registry using the `configuration` paramater. In addition, you can also set an external configmap with the configuration file. This is done by setting the `existingConfigmap` parameter.

### Sidecars and Init Containers

If you have a need for additional containers to run within the same pod as Schema Registry (e.g. an additional metrics or logging exporter), you can do so via the `sidecars` config parameter. Simply define your container according to the Kubernetes container spec.

```yaml
sidecars:
  - name: your-image-name
    image: your-image
    imagePullPolicy: Always
    ports:
      - name: portname
       containerPort: 1234
```

Similarly, you can add extra init containers using the `initContainers` parameter.

```yaml
initContainers:
  - name: your-image-name
    image: your-image
    imagePullPolicy: Always
    ports:
      - name: portname
        containerPort: 1234
```

### Using an external Kafka

Sometimes you may want to have Schema Registry connect to an external Kafka cluster rather than installing one as dependency. To do this, the chart allows you to specify credentials for an existing Kafka cluster under the [`externalKafka` parameter](#kafka-chart-parameters). You should also disable the Kafka installation with the `kafka.enabled` option.

For example, use the parameters below to connect Schema Registry with an existing Kafka installation using SASL authentication:

```console
kafka.enabled=false
externalKafka.brokers=SASL_PLAINTEXT://kafka-0.kafka-headless.default.svc.cluster.local:9092
externalKafka.auth.protocol=sasl
externalKafka.auth.jaas.user=myuser
externalKafka.auth.jaas.password=mypassword
```

Alternatively, you can use an existing secret with a key "client-passwords":

```console
kafka.enabled=false
externalKafka.brokers=SASL_PLAINTEXT://kafka-0.kafka-headless.default.svc.cluster.local:9092
externalKafka.auth.protocol=sasl
externalKafka.auth.jaas.user=myuser
externalKafka.auth.jaas.existingSecret=my-secret
```

### Ingress

This chart provides support for Ingress resources. If you have an ingress controller installed on your cluster, such as [nginx-ingress-controller](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/nginx-ingress-controller) or [contour](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/contour) you can utilize the ingress controller to serve your application.
To enable Ingress integration, set `ingress.enabled` to `true`. The `ingress.hostname` property can be used to set the host name.

#### Hosts

Most likely you will only want to have one hostname that maps to this Schema Registry installation. If that's your case, the property `ingress.hostname` will set it. However, it is possible to have more than one host. To facilitate this, the `ingress.extraHosts` object is can be specified as an array. You can also use `ingress.extraTLS` to add the TLS configuration for extra hosts.

For each host indicated at `ingress.extraHosts`, please indicate a `name`, `path`, and any `annotations` that you may want the ingress controller to know about.

For annotations, please see [this document](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/main/docs/user-guide/nginx-configuration/annotations.md). Not all annotations are supported by all ingress controllers, but this document does a good job of indicating which annotation is supported by many popular ingress controllers.

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```console
helm install my-release \
  --set replicaCount=2 \
    oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/schema-registry
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

The above command installs Schema Registry chart with 2 replicas.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
helm install my-release -f values.yaml oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/schema-registry
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.
> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/schema-registry/values.yaml)

[On November 13, 2020, Helm v2 support was formally finished](https://github.com/helm/charts#status-of-the-project), this major version is the result of the required changes applied to the Helm Chart to be able to incorporate the different features added in Helm v3 and to be consistent with the Helm project itself regarding the Helm v2 EOL.

#### What changes were introduced in this major version?

- Previous versions of this Helm Chart use `apiVersion: v1` (installable by both Helm 2 and 3), this Helm Chart was updated to `apiVersion: v2` (installable by Helm 3 only). [Here](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/charts/#the-apiversion-field) you can find more information about the `apiVersion` field.
- Move dependency information from the *requirements.yaml* to the *Chart.yaml*
- After running `helm dependency update`, a *Chart.lock* file is generated containing the same structure used in the previous *requirements.lock*
- The different fields present in the *Chart.yaml* file has been ordered alphabetically in a homogeneous way for all the Bitnami Helm Charts

#### Considerations when upgrading to this version

- If you want to upgrade to this version from a previous one installed with Helm v3, you shouldn't face any issues
- If you want to upgrade to this version using Helm v2, this scenario is not supported as this version doesn't support Helm v2 anymore
- If you installed the previous version with Helm v2 and wants to upgrade to this version with Helm v3, please refer to the [official Helm documentation](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/v2_v3_migration/#migration-use-cases) about migrating from Helm v2 to v3
