Docker¶

Scylla Manager docker images can be downloaded from Docker hub:

• https://hub.docker.com/r/scylladb/scylla-manager

• https://hub.docker.com/r/scylladb/scylla-manager-agent

The following procedure enables you to play and experiment with Scylla Manager as you read the docs.

Note that Scylla Kubernetes Operator would setup Scylla Manager for you.

Prerequisites

Docker command installed.

Procedure

1. Save as docker-compose.yaml

   version: "3.7"
   
   services:
     scylla-manager:
       image: scylladb/scylla-manager
       networks:
         public:
       depends_on:
         - scylla-manager-db
   
     scylla-manager-db:
       image: scylladb/scylla
       volumes:
         - scylla_manager_db_data:/var/lib/scylla
       networks:
         public:
       command: --smp 1 --memory 1G
   
     scylla:
       build:
         context: .
       image: scylladb/scylla-with-agent
       volumes:
         - scylla_data:/var/lib/scylla
       networks:
         public:
           ipv4_address: 192.168.100.100
       command: --smp 1 --memory 1G
   
     minio:
       image: minio/minio
       volumes:
         - minio_data:/data
       networks:
         public:
       ports:
         - "9001:9000"
       environment:
         MINIO_ACCESS_KEY: minio
         MINIO_SECRET_KEY: minio123
       command: server /data
   
   volumes:
     minio_data:
     scylla_data:
     scylla_manager_db_data:
   
   networks:
     public:
       driver: bridge
       ipam:
         driver: default
         config:
           - subnet: 192.168.100.0/24
   

2. Save as Dockerfile

   FROM scylladb/scylla-manager-agent:latest as agent
   FROM scylladb/scylla:latest
   
   COPY --from=agent /usr/bin/scylla-manager-agent /usr/bin/
   RUN echo "[program:scylla-manager-agent]\n\
   command=/usr/bin/scylla-manager-agent\n\
   autorestart=true\n\
   stdout_logfile=/dev/stdout\n\
   stdout_logfile_maxbytes=0\n\
   stderr_logfile=/dev/stderr\n\
   stderr_logfile_maxbytes=0" > /etc/supervisord.conf.d/scylla-manager-agent.conf
   RUN mkdir -p /etc/scylla-manager-agent && echo "auth_token: token\n\
   s3:\n\
       access_key_id: minio\n\
       secret_access_key: minio123\n\
       provider: Minio\n\
       endpoint: http://minio:9000" > /etc/scylla-manager-agent/scylla-manager-agent.yaml
   

3. Run containers, this will run:

   • Scylla node with Scylla Manager Agent installed (a toy cluster)

   • MinIO (for backups)

   • Scylla Manager and its backend Scylla instance

   docker compose up --build -d
   docker compose logs -f scylla-manager
   

4. Wait until the server is started, you should see something like

   scylla-manager_1     | {"L":"INFO","T":"2021-05-07T12:55:42.964Z","M":"Starting HTTP server","address":":5080","_trace_id":"sgZk4CPpSx2KkeXU9CqIKg"}
   scylla-manager_1     | {"L":"INFO","T":"2021-05-07T12:55:42.964Z","M":"Starting HTTPS server","address":":5443","client_ca":"","_trace_id":"sgZk4CPpSx2KkeXU9CqIKg"}
   scylla-manager_1     | {"L":"INFO","T":"2021-05-07T12:55:42.964Z","M":"Starting Prometheus server","address":":5090","_trace_id":"sgZk4CPpSx2KkeXU9CqIKg"}
   scylla-manager_1     | {"L":"INFO","T":"2021-05-07T12:55:42.964Z","M":"Starting debug server","address":"127.0.0.1:5112","_trace_id":"sgZk4CPpSx2KkeXU9CqIKg"}
   scylla-manager_1     | {"L":"INFO","T":"2021-05-07T12:55:42.964Z","M":"Service started","_trace_id":"sgZk4CPpSx2KkeXU9CqIKg"}
   

5. Start bash session in scylla-manager container

   docker compose exec scylla-manager bash
   

6. Add the cluster to Scylla Manager

   sctool cluster add --name prod-cluster --host=scylla --auth-token=token
   

   this will print the cluster added message

   defe1ffe-c992-4ca2-9fad-82a61f39ad9e
    __
   /  \     Cluster added! You can set it as default, by exporting its name or ID as env variable:
   @  @     $ export SCYLLA_MANAGER_CLUSTER=defe1ffe-c992-4ca2-9fad-82a61f39ad9e
   |  |     $ export SCYLLA_MANAGER_CLUSTER=<name>
   || |/
   || ||    Now run:
   |\_/|    $ sctool status -c defe1ffe-c992-4ca2-9fad-82a61f39ad9e
   \___/    $ sctool tasks -c defe1ffe-c992-4ca2-9fad-82a61f39ad9e
   

7. Create a Bucket for Backups in MinIO

If you wish to create backups with Scylla Manager using MinIO as a target you need to first create a “bucket” directory to use as the backup target.

Making sure you are back on your host shell and not in the scylla-manager container, run the following:

docker compose exec minio sh -c "mkdir /data/docker"

Afterwards you can schedule backups in Scylla Manager using “s3:docker” as the backup location.
