Rundeck job and step storage

[Sean]

Hello ,

I'm running rundeck 3.4.3 on my EKS cluster. When I restart/redeploy rundeck all my jobs and steps gets removed in new rundeck pod. Do I need to bring up mysql instance as well in EKS cluster and mount rundeck to mysql ? Please confirm

Thanks

Hi Seam,

Yes, It would be ideal to use a database backend to keep your projects and jobs.

Hi Sean,

By default Rundeck stores the users and roles on the realm.properties file. The recommended way to manage users and groups is to configure Rundeck against an LDAP/AD server and use the roles/users from there (check this Docker example), also you can configure SSO on Rundeck Enterprise. In any case, you need to provide the correct rights via ACL to give/deny access to your projects and jobs.

Regards!

Thanks Much!

One thing, is it possible to upload a yaml file on rundeck and edit it depends upon the requirement ?

Hi Sean,

A good way to do that is to create a job with a file option and process it using yq tool in the next steps (similar to jq but specific for YAML files).

Ok, so once the file option has been created, then how could we upload a file for Job ? do we need to trigger upload api for this

Thanks

Hi Sean, take a look at this.

Hope it helps!

[Sean]

thanks, would this uploaded file be valid for current job session ? or I can use it for future Job run as well

Hi Sean,

Both, for example, you can create a job that generates a file and then call another job using that script (on an inline script step) passing the file generated (and you can schedule that workflow).
