Private Registry ImagePull

We have faced issues related to pulling image from?insecure registry.Now you can specify the image-pull secret for the private registry and register the insecure registry while installing / upgrading kubeDB. Operator will use that plus any image pull secret in the?db.spec.podTemplate?to get the docker image digest.

kubectl create secret docker-registry regcred --docker-server=<your-registry-server> --docker-username=<your-name> --docker-password=<your-pword>
  helm install kubedb appscode/kubedb \
  --version v2023.01.31 \
  --namespace kubedb --create-namespace \
  --set kubedb-provisioner.enabled=true \
  --set kubedb-ops-manager.enabled=true \
  --set kubedb-autoscaler.enabled=true \
  --set kubedb-dashboard.enabled=true \
  --set kubedb-schema-manager.enabled=true \
  --set-file global.license=/path/to/the/license.txt\
  --set global.imagePullSecrets[0].name=sec1
  --set insecureRegistries[0]=harbor.example.com        

Pg-coordinator Leader Switch

Pg-coordinator leader switch issue is addressed in this release.From this release KubeDB managed High Availability PostgreSQL will be stable more than before. Try out?kubedb manged PostgreSQL

Kibana and Opensearch Dashboard As non-root user

Kibana and Opensearch-Dashboards init container docker images will be using?Non-root?user. Running the Docker containers as a non-root user eliminates potential vulnerabilities in the daemon and the container runtime. This is because if a user manages to break out of the application running as root in the container, he may gain root user access on the host. In addition, configuring a container to user unprivileged is the best way to prevent privilege escalation attacks. You can try out?Deploy Kibana With ElasticsearchDashboard
