Deploy Docker images with anyuid SCC

ECK

Starting with Elastic Stack version 7.9, it is possible to run the APM Server with the restricted SCC. For APM versions older than 7.9, you can use this workaround which allows the Pod to run with the default uid 1000 by assigning it to the anyuid SCC:

  1. Create a service account to run the APM Server:

     oc create serviceaccount apm-server -n elastic 
  2. Add the APM service account to the anyuid SCC:

     oc adm policy add-scc-to-user anyuid -z apm-server -n elastic 
     scc "anyuid" added to: ["system:serviceaccount:elastic:apm-server"] 
  3. Deploy an APM Server and a Route with the following manifest:

     cat <<EOF | oc apply -n elastic -f - apiVersion: apm.k8s.elastic.co/v1 kind: ApmServer metadata: name: apm-server-sample spec: version: 9.2.0 count: 1 elasticsearchRef: name: "elasticsearch-sample" podTemplate: spec: serviceAccountName: apm-server --- apiVersion: route.openshift.io/v1 kind: Route metadata: name: apm-server-sample spec: #host: apm-server.example.com tls: termination: passthrough insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy: Redirect to: kind: Service name: apm-server-sample-apm-http EOF 
    1. override if you don't want to use the host that is automatically generated by OpenShift ([-].)
    2. the APM Server is the TLS endpoint

    To check that the Pod of the APM Server is using the correct SCC, use the following command:

     oc get pod -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{$scc := index .metadata.annotations "openshift.io/scc"}}{{.metadata.name}}{{" scc:"}}{{range .spec.containers}}{{$scc}}{{" "}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}'
