Deploying with a read-only fielsystem

PhoenixAI has two components: Frontend (FE) and Compute Node (CN). When the readOnlyRootFilesystem is set to true, the components of PhoenixAI cannot start normally. This is because the components of PhoenixAI write data to the disk, and the readOnlyRootFilesystem setting prevents the components from writing data to the disk.

For the FE component, FE writes data to the following directories:

# in fe directory
drwxr-xr-x 2 root      root      4.0K Nov 19 11:27 plugins
drwxr-xr-x 4 root      root      4.0K Nov 19 11:27 temp_dir

# in fe/bin directory
-rw-r--r-- 1 root      root         2 Nov 19 11:27 fe.pid

# in fe/conf directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root      root        30 Nov 19 11:27 fe.conf -> /etc/phoenixai/fe/conf/fe.conf

For the CN component, CN writes data to the following directories:

# in cn directory
drwxr-xr-x 2 root      root      4.0K Nov 19 11:27 spill

# in cn/conf directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root      root        30 Nov 19 11:27 cn.conf -> /etc/phoenixai/cn/conf/cn.conf

# in cn/bin directory
-rw-r----- 1 root      root         3 Nov 19 11:27 cn.pid

# in cn/lib directory
drwxr-xr-x   2 root      root      4.0K Nov 19 11:27 jdbc_drivers
drwxr-xr-x   2 root      root      4.0K Nov 19 11:27 small_file
drwxr-xr-x 130 root      root      4.0K Nov 19 11:27 udf
drwxr-xr-x   2 root      root      4.0K Nov 19 11:27 udf-runtime

This document describes how to set up PhoenixAI when the readOnlyRootFilesystem field is set to true.

How​

We create and mount a volume, and in the entrypoint script, we will copy everything from the original directory to the mounted volume. This way, the components of PhoenixAI can write data to the mounted volume.

Note: you should use the operator version v1.9.9 or later.

Steps​

There are two ways to deploy PhoenixAI cluster:

  1. Deploy PhoenixAI cluster with PhoenixAICluster CR yaml.
  2. Deploy PhoenixAI cluster with Helm chart.

Therefore, there are two ways to set up PhoenixAI when the readOnlyRootFilesystem field is set to true.

Using PhoenixAICluster CR yaml​

Using a Helm Chart​

If you are using the kube-anywhere Helm chart, add the following snippets to values.yaml.

Note: you should use the chart version v1.9.9 or later.
