NCSA CHECKS

The goal of this project is to have a simple set of functions that can be used as init containers in your kubernetes deployment. Each of the checks will see if the service is ready to accept connections.

For example the following snippet will wait for rabbitmq and postgresql to be ready before starting the actual container:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: mywebapp
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: mywebapp
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: mywebapp
    spec:
      initContainers:
        - name: check-rabbitmq
          image: "ncsa/checks:1.0.0"
          env:
            - name: RABBITMQ_URI
              value: "amqp://user:pass@rabbitmq/%2F"
        - name: check-postgresql
          image: "ncsa/checks:1.0.0"
          env:
            - name: PGURI
              value: "postgresql://postgres:secret@postgresql:5432/mydb"
            - name: PGTABLE
              value: "users"
      containers:
        - name: mywebapp
          image: mywebapp:1.0
          ports:
            - containerPort: 80
          env:
            - name: RABBITMQ_URI
              value: "amqp://user:pass@rabbitmq/%2F"
            - name: PGHOST
              value: "postgres"
            - name: PGUSER
              value: "postgres"
