Try It Out
In this example we will deploy MariaDB on a Kubernetes cluster using the Minimus MariaDB Advanced Helm chart. MariaDB will be configured with hardened security settings and production-grade defaults.
Step 1: Start Cluster
If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions
Step 2: Create Namespace
Create a namespace:
kubectl create ns mariadb-advanced
Step 3: Deploy the Helm Chart
Deploy the Minimus Helm chart:
helm install my-mariadb-advanced oci://helm.mini.dev/mariadb-advanced \
--version 26.1.6 \
-n mariadb-advanced \
--wait
If you want to override the chart's defaults, go to the Values tab, save a copy locally with your changes. Deploy the chart with your overrides using -f values.yaml:
helm install my-mariadb-advanced oci://helm.mini.dev/mariadb-advanced \
--version 26.1.6 \
-f values.yaml \
-n mariadb-advanced \
--wait
Step 4: Verify MariaDB Advanced is Running
To check that the pod was successfully created run:
kubectl get pods -n mariadb-advanced -l app.kubernetes.io/name=mariadb
You should see output similar to:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
my-mariadb-advanced-mariadb-0 1/1 Running 0 2m
Step 5: Test Database Connection
Retrieve the MariaDB root password:
export MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret my-mariadb-advanced-mariadb -n mariadb-advanced -o jsonpath='{.data.mariadb-root-password}' | base64 -d)
Forward the MariaDB port to your local machine:
kubectl port-forward svc/my-mariadb-advanced-mariadb 3306:3306 -n mariadb-advanced
In another terminal, connect using mariadb:
mariadb -h localhost -P 3306 -u root -p"$MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD" -e "SELECT 1;"
You should see a result confirming the connection is working.
Step 6: Clean Up
Uninstall the chart and delete the namespace to remove all resources:
helm uninstall my-mariadb-advanced -n mariadb-advanced
kubectl delete namespace mariadb-advanced
