Your organization may require connecting to the database instance over SSL. To
|
||||
supply Coder with the appropriate certificates, and have it connect over SSL,
|
||||
follow the steps below:
|
||||
|
||||
## Client verification (server verifies the client)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create the certificate as a secret in your Kubernetes cluster, if not already
|
||||
present:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
kubectl create secret tls postgres-certs -n coder --key="postgres.key" --cert="postgres.crt"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Define the secret volume and volumeMounts in the Helm chart:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
coder:
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- name: "pg-certs-mount"
|
||||
secret:
|
||||
secretName: "postgres-certs"
|
||||
volumeMounts:
|
||||
- name: "pg-certs-mount"
|
||||
mountPath: "$HOME/.postgresql"
|
||||
readOnly: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Lastly, your PG connection URL will look like:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
postgres://<user>:<password>@databasehost:<port>/<db-name>?sslmode=require&sslcert="$HOME/.postgresql/postgres.crt&sslkey=$HOME/.postgresql/postgres.key"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Server verification (client verifies the server)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download the CA certificate chain for your database instance, and create it
|
||||
as a secret in your Kubernetes cluster, if not already present:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
kubectl create secret tls postgres-certs -n coder --key="postgres-root.key" --cert="postgres-root.crt"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Define the secret volume and volumeMounts in the Helm chart:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
coder:
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- name: "pg-certs-mount"
|
||||
secret:
|
||||
secretName: "postgres-certs"
|
||||
volumeMounts:
|
||||
- name: "pg-certs-mount"
|
||||
mountPath: "$HOME/.postgresql/postgres-root.crt"
|
||||
readOnly: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Lastly, your PG connection URL will look like:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
postgres://<user>:<password>@databasehost:<port>/<db-name>?sslmode=verify-full&sslrootcert="/home/coder/.postgresql/postgres-root.crt"
|
||||
```
