Kubernetes

You could host your own Atuin server using the Kubernetes platform.

Create a secrets.yaml file for the database credentials:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: atuin-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  ATUIN_DB_USERNAME: atuin
  ATUIN_DB_PASSWORD: seriously-insecure
  ATUIN_HOST: "127.0.0.1"
  ATUIN_PORT: "8888"
  ATUIN_OPEN_REGISTRATION: "true"
  ATUIN_DB_URI: "postgres://atuin:seriously-insecure@localhost/atuin"
immutable: true

Create a atuin.yaml file for the Atuin server:

---
apiVersion: apps/v1

    matchLabels:

              value: atuin
            - name: POSTGRES_PASSWORD
              valueFrom:
                secretKeyRef:
                  name: atuin-secrets
                  key: ATUIN_DB_PASSWORD
                  optional: false
            - name: POSTGRES_USER
              valueFrom:

              memory: 1Gi
          volumeMounts:

      volumes:

          persistentVolumeClaim:
            claimName: atuin-claim0

      storage: 10Mi

Finally, you may want to use a separate namespace for atuin, by creating a namespace.yaml file:

```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: atuin-namespace
  labels:
    name: atuin

Note that this configuration will store the database folder outside the kubernetes cluster, in the folder /Users/firstname.lastname/.kube/database of the host system by configuring the storageClassName to be manual. In a real enterprise setup, you would probably want to store the database content permanently in the cluster, and not in the host system.

You should also change the password string in ATUIN_DB_PASSWORD and ATUIN_DB_URI in thesecrets.yaml file to a more secure one.

The atuin service on the port 30530 of the host system. That is configured by the nodePort property. Kubernetes has a strict rule that you are not allowed to expose a port numbered lower than 30000. To make the clients work, you can simply set the port in in your config.toml file, e.g. sync_address = "http://192.168.1.10:30530".

Deploy the Atuin server using kubectl:

  kubectl apply -f ./namespaces.yaml
  kubectl apply -n atuin-namespace \
                -f ./secrets.yaml \
                -f ./atuin.yaml

The sample files above are also in the k8s folder of the atuin repository.
