+# quay.io/ceph/keepalived
+
+A small [ubi8-minimal](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/registry/registry.access.redhat.com/repository/ubi8/ubi-minimal) based Docker container that provides a method of IP high availability via [keepalived](http://www.keepalived.org/) (VRRP failover), and optional Kubernetes API Server monitoring. If allowed to auto configure (default behaviour) it will automatically generate a unicast based failover configuration with a minimal amount of user supplied information.
+
+For specific information on Keepalived, please see the man page on [keepalived.conf](http://linux.die.net/man/5/keepalived.conf) or the [Keepalived User Guide](http://www.keepalived.org/pdf/UserGuide.pdf).

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before attempting to deploy the keepalived container, the host must allow non local binding of ipv4 addresses. To do this, configure the sysctl tunable `net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind=1`.
+
+In addition to enabling the nonlocal binds, the container must be run with both host networking (`--net=host`) and security setting CAP_NET_ADMIN (`--cap-add NET_ADMIN`) capability. These allow the container to manage the host's networking configuration, and this is essential to the function of keepalived.
+
+
+## Configuration
+### Execution Control
+
+| Variable | Default |
+|:---------------------:|:------------------------------------------------:|
+| `KEEPALIVED_AUTOCONF` | `true` |
+| `KEEPALIVED_CONF` | `/etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf` |
+| `KEEPALIVED_CMD` | `/usr/sbin/keepalived -n -l -f $KEEPALIVED_CONF` |
+| `KEEPALIVED_DEBUG` | `false` |
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_AUTOCONF` - Enables or disables the auto-configuration of keepalived.
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_CONF` - The path to the keepalived configuration file.
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_CMD` - The command called to execute keepalived.
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_DEBUG` - Enables or disables debug level logging for keepalived (adds `-D` to `KEEPALIVED_CMD`.
+
+
+### Autoconfiguration Options
+
+| Variable | Default |
+|:-------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------:|
+| `KEEPALIVED_ADVERT_INT` | `1` |
+| `KEEPALIVED_AUTH_PASS` | `pwd$KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_ROUTER_ID` |
+| `KEEPALIVED_INTERFACE` | `eth0` |
+| `KEEPALIVED_PRIORITY` | `200` |
+| `KEEPALIVED_STATE` | `MASTER` |
+| `KEEPALIVED_TRACK_INTERFACE_###` | |
+| `KEEPALIVED_UNICAST_SRC_IP` | |
+| `KEEPALIVED_UNICAST_PEER_###` | |
+| `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPADDRESS_###` | |
+| `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPADDRESS_EXCLUDED_###` | |
+| `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_ROUTER_ID` | `1` |
+| `KEEPALIVED_KUBE_APISERVER_CHECK` | `false` |
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_ADVERT_INT` - The VRRP advertisement interval (in seconds).
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_AUTH_PASS` - A shared password used to authenticate each node in a VRRP group (**Note:** If password is longer than 8 characters, only the first 8 characters are used).
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_INTERFACE` - The host interface that keepalived will monitor and use for VRRP traffic.
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_PRIORITY` - Election value, the server configured with the highest priority will become the Master.
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_STATE` - Defines the server role as Master or Backup. (**Options:** `MASTER` or `BACKUP`).
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_TRACK_INTERFACE_###` - An interface that's state should be monitored (e.g. eth0). More than one can be supplied as long as the variable name ends in a number from 0-999.
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_UNICAST_SRC_IP` - The IP on the host that the keepalived daemon should bind to. **Note:** If not specified, it will be the first IP bound to the interface specified in `KEEPALIVED_INTERFACE`.
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_UNICAST_PEER_###` - An IP of a peer participating in the VRRP group. More tha one can be supplied as long as the variable name ends in a number from 0-999.
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPADDRESS_###` - An instance of an address that will be monitored and failed over from one host to another. These should be a quoted string in the form of: `<IPADDRESS>/<MASK> brd <BROADCAST_IP> dev <DEVICE> scope <SCOPE> label <LABEL>` At a minimum the ip address, mask and device should be specified e.g. `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPADDRESS_1="10.10.0.2/24 dev eth0"`. More than one can be supplied as long as the variable name ends in a number from 0-999. **Note:** Keepalived has a hard limit of **20** addresses that can be monitored. More can be failed over with the monitored addresses via `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPADDRESS_EXCLUDED_###`.
+
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPADDRESS_EXCLUDED_###` - An instance of an address that will be failed over with the monitored addresses supplied via `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPADDRESS_###`. These should be a quoted string in the form of: `<IPADDRESS>/<MASK> brd <BROADCAST_IP> dev <DEVICE> scope <SCOPE> label <LABEL>` At a minimum the ip address, mask and device should be specified e.g. `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPADDRESS_EXCLUDED_1="172.16.1.20/24 dev eth1"`. More than one can be supplied as long as the variable name ends in a number from 0-999.
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_ROUTER_ID` - A unique number from 0 to 255 that should identify the VRRP group. Master and Backup should have the same value. Multiple instances of keepalived can be run on the same host, but each pair **MUST** have a unique virtual router id.
+
+* `KEEPALIVED_KUBE_APISERVER_CHECK` - If enabled it configures a simple check script for the Kubernetes API-Server. For more information on this feature, please see the [Kubernetes Options](#kubernetes-options) section.
+
+
+### Kubernetes Options
+
+
+| **Variable** | **Default** |
+|:-----------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------:|
+| `KUBE_APISERVER_ADDRESS` | parsed from `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPADDRESS_###` |
+| `KUBE_APISERVER_PORT` | `6443` |
+| `KUBE_APISERVER_CHK_INTERVAL` | `3` |
+| `KUBE_APISERVER_CHK_FALL` | `10` |
+| `KUBE_APISERVER_CHK_RISE` | `2` |
+| `KUBE_APISERVER_CHK_WEIGHT` | `-50` |
+
+
+
+* `KUBE_APISERVER_ADDRESS` - The Virtual IP being used for the Kube API Server. If none is supplied, it is assumed to be the lowest numbered entry in the `KEEPALIVED_VIRTUAL_IPADDRESS_###` variables.
+
+* `KUBE_APISERVER_PORT` - The port to use in conjunction with the `KUBE_APISERVER_ADDRESS`.
+
+* `KUBE_APISERVER_CHK_INTERVAL` - The interval in seconds between calling the script.
+
+* `KUBE_APISERVER_CHK_FALL` - The number of consecutive non-zero script exits before setting the state to `FAULT`.
+
+* `KUBE_APISERVER_CHK_RISE` - The number of consecutive zero script exits before exiting the `FAULT` state.
+
+* `KUBE_APISERVER_CHK_WEIGHT` - The weight to apply to the priority when the service enters the `FAULT` state.
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Suggested Kubernetes Settings
+
+Assuming there are three nodes running the kube-apiserver, you cannot rely on setting just the`KEEPALIVED_STATE` parameter to manage failover across the nodes.
+
+To manage kube-apiserver failover, enable the healthcheck option with `KEEPALIVED_KUBE_APISERVER_CHECK`, and set the `KEEPALIVED_PRIORITY` manually for the three instances.
+
+| **Node** | **Priority** |
+|:--------:|:------------:|
+| node-01 | 200 |
+| node-02 | 190 |
+| node-03 | 180 |
+
+With the default weight of `-50`, if `node-01` has an issue, it's priority will drop to `150` and allow `node-02` to take over, the same is repeated if `node-02` has a failure dropping it's weight to `140` and `node-03` takes over.
+
+Recovery occurs in the same order with the system with the highest priority being promoted to master.
