Install MongoDB operator in Prod Openshift

[DanNiESh]

Motivation

The griot-grits project has requested the MongoDB Operator to be made available in the OpenShift console. They encountered errors with both manual creation and Helm-based deployments. Using the operator will offer a more reliable and automated way to deploying and managing MongoDB.

Completion Criteria

MongoDB is deployed on Production OpenShift

Description

• related issue: Assist with the onboarding of Griot-and-Grits project to the production cluster #887

Completion dates

Desired - 2025-02-10
Required - TBD

@DanNiESh, I'm going to install the operator on the test cluster to do some testing. Do we have a desired config from the griot-grits team to work with?

I'm asking their team if they have a desired config

I've installed and tested the mongoDB operator in the ocp-test cluster. The operator itself hasn't had active support in a while but it works as advertised in docs

I'm opening a PR in draft mode for now until we get sign off from at least @jtriley & @Milstein before adding this to prod.

Here is a simple instance of a mongoDB CRD that I was playing with:

apiVersion: opstreelabs.in/v1alpha1
kind: MongoDB
metadata:
  name: mongodb
  namespace: example
spec:
  kubernetesConfig:
    image: 'quay.io/opstree/mongo:v5.0.6'
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    env:
      - name: MONGOSH_HISTORY_PATH
        value: "/tmp/mongosh_history"
    securityContext: {}
  mongoDBSecurity:
    mongoDBAdminUser: admin
    secretRef:
      key: password
      name: mongodb-secret
  storage:
    accessModes:
      - ReadWriteOnce
