When to use this

Use this flow when you want multiple FalkorDB pods but do not need Sentinel-managed failover. Current implementation note: the UI does not send a separate no-Sentinel replication topology. When Sentinel is disabled, the create request uses:
  • spec.topology: standalone
  • spec.replicas set from the FalkorDB replica count
  • No spec.sentinel block
For production high availability, use Replicated deployment with Sentinel, which sends spec.topology: replication and a Sentinel block.

Create from Admin UI

  1. Open Deployments > Create Deployment.
  2. Choose Standalone.
  3. Choose Full Setup.
  4. In FalkorDB, set Replicas to 2 or higher.
  5. In Sentinel, leave Sentinel disabled for a replicated deployment without Sentinel.
  6. Configure resources, authentication, networking, TLS, backup, and FalkorDB parameters as needed. See Networking for the external domain option.
  7. Review and submit.

Template notes

  • The Dev template sets replicas to 1 and Sentinel disabled.
  • The QA template sets replicas to 2 and Sentinel enabled by default.
  • The Prod template enforces at least 2 replicas and Sentinel enabled.
If you choose QA or Prod and want no Sentinel, switch to full setup and verify the selected template policy allows it. Prod requires Sentinel and at least two FalkorDB replicas.

Validate

In the Admin UI, open the deployment and review:
  • General for topology and replica count.
  • Pods for ready replicas.
  • Operations for any KubeBlocks OpsRequests.
