extra_packages string   Space separated list of extra deb packages to install.
extra_sans string   Space-separated list of extra SAN entries to add to the x509 certificate created for the load balancers.
ha-cluster-dns string   DNS entry to use with the HA Cluster subordinate charm. Mutually exclusive with ha-cluster-vip.

host string 127.0.0.1 listen address
install_keys string   See notes
install_sources string   See notes
loadbalancer-ips string   See notes
nagios_context string juju See notes
nagios_servicegroups string   A comma-separated list of nagios servicegroups. If left empty, the nagios_context will be used as the servicegroup
package_status string install The status of service-affecting packages will be set to this value in the dpkg database. Valid values are “install” and “hold”.
port int 443 The port to run the loadbalancer
proxy_read_timeout int 600 Timeout in seconds for reading a response from proxy server.

install_keys

Description:

List of signing keys for install_sources package sources, per charmhelpers standard format (a yaml list of strings encoded as a string). The keys should be the full ASCII armoured GPG public keys. While GPG key ids are also supported and looked up on a keyserver, operators should be aware that this mechanism is insecure. null can be used if a standard package signing key is used that will already be installed on the machine, and for PPA sources where the package signing key is securely retrieved from Launchpad.

install_sources

Description:

List of extra apt sources, per charm-helpers standard format (a yaml list of strings encoded as a string). Each source may be either a line that can be added directly to sources.list(5), or in the form ppa:/ for adding Personal Package Archives, or a distribution component to enable.

loadbalancer-ips

Description:

Space seperated list of IP addresses of loadbalancers in front of control plane. A common case for this is virtual IP addresses that are floated in front of the kubeapi-load-balancer charm. The workers will alternate IP addresses from this list to distribute load. If you have 2 IPs and 4 workers, each IP will be used by 2 workers.

Back to table

nagios_context

Description:

Used by the nrpe subordinate charms. A string that will be prepended to instance name to set the host name in nagios. So for instance the hostname would be something like:

    juju-myservice-0

If you’re running multiple environments with the same services in them this allows you to differentiate between them.
