Deployment Options

You can deploy Databunker Pro using one of the following methods:

• Docker Compose
• Kubernetes

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose (for Docker deployment)
• Kubernetes cluster (for Kubernetes deployment)
• generate-env-files.sh script (optional, for generating initial credentials and keys)

Installation Steps

1. Prepare Environment (Optional)

If you want to generate initial database access credentials, SSL keys, and a wrapping key, run the provided generate-env-files.sh script:

1

./generate-env-files.sh

2. Deploy Databunker Pro

Option A: Deploy Using Docker Compose

1. Deploy project containers using the sample docker-compose.yml file
2. Run the following command:

1

docker-compose up -d

Option B: Deploy Using Kubernetes

1. Deploy project using the sample YAML file
2. Run the following command:

1

kubectl apply -f databunker-pro-deployment.yaml

Note: Start with one pod initially. After completing the setup, you can scale to more pods.

3. Initial Setup

1. Once the databunkerpro container is started, check the service logs to find the Access Code.

2. Open the Databunker Pro setup page in your web browser.
3. You will see the following screen:

4. Enter the Access Code found in the service logs.
5. Upon successful check, the service will generate encryption and access keys, and create the database.
6. You will then see the completion page:

7. Make sure to securely store the Root Access Token, Wrapping Key, and Shamir Key Shares.
8. Click the Start Databunker Pro button to start the Databunker Pro service.

Post-Installation

After completing the setup, you can now use the Root Access Token with the API to save or retrieve data.

Security Notes

• Databunker Pro uses an internal Master Key to encrypt the data. This key is automatically generated and never revealed.
• The Wrapping Key is used to encrypt the internal Master Key, adding an extra layer of security.
• Regularly rotate the Wrapping Key to enhance security.
• In case of a lost or compromised Wrapping Key, you can use any 3 out of 5 Shamir Key Shares to generate a new one.

Scaling (Kubernetes)

Once the Databunker Pro is installed and configured in Kubernetes, you can now scale to more replicas:

1

kubectl scale deployment databunker-pro --replicas=3

Adjust the number of replicas as needed for your use case.
