When managing a large Jibri deployment, you usually want to autoscale using a strategy like "always keep N spare (not recording or livestreaming) jibri pods". This is difficult to achieve with the standard Kubernetes horizontal pod autoscaler (HPA).
jibri-pod-controller can be used as part of an alternative approach:
- Deploy
jibriusing a Deployment. Set the Deployment'sreplicasto the number of sparejibripods you want to run. - Deploy
jibri-pod-controllerin your cluster and give it RBAC permission to get/list/patchjibripods. - Configure
jibriin single use mode, and configure it to send webhook requests tojibri-pod-controller. - When a
jibripod starts to record or live-stream,jibri-pod-controllerwill patch the pod's labels so that they don't match the Deployment's label selector. This isolates thejibripod from the Deployment — the Deployment will immediately launch anotherjibripod to replace it (thus keeping the required number of spare pods), and the isolatedjibripod will continue to run. - When
jibrifinishes recording or live-streaming,jibri-pod-controllerwill delete the pod. A sweeper runs on a configurable interval to remove any expiredjibripods in casejibrifails to send the webhook for any reason. If multiplejibri-pod-controllerpods are running, one is elected to run the sweeper.
git clone https://github.com/avstack/jibri-pod-controller.git
cd jibri-pod-controller
docker build .
Irrelevant settings have been left out.
jibri {
id = "$POD_NAME"
single-use-mode = true
api {
http {
// This must match the JIBRI_HEALTH_PORT environment variable in the jibri-pod-controller deployment
external-api-port = 8080
}
}
webhook {
subscribers = [
// $POD_NAME must be substituted with the Jibri pod name, for example by using envFrom to set it as
// an environment variable and then using envsubst on jibri.conf in the container entrypoint script.
"http://jibri-pod-controller.default.svc.cluster.local/webhook/$POD_NAME"
]
}
}
- Replace the
imagewith the URL to your built container image ofjibri-pod-controller. - In this example, the
JIBRI_BUSY_LABELSare set toapp=jibri,state=busy. You could set up yourjibriDeployment to selectapp=jibri,state=idle.
