How to set JAVA_OPTS for the orchestrator container that runs inside the replication job?

Setting

JAVA_OPTS

for the orchestrator container that runs inside the replication job can be a bit tricky as the orchestrator container is launched at runtime and is not defined in the

docker-compose.yaml

file. However, you can pass the

JAVA_OPTS

environment variable through the container which launches the other containers - the

worker

container. In the

docker-compose.debug.yaml

file, you should see an entry for the

worker

service which looks like this:

yaml worker:     environment:       - DEBUG_CONTAINER_IMAGE=${DEBUG_CONTAINER_IMAGE}       - DEBUG_CONTAINER_JAVA_OPTS=-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=*:5005

Here,

DEBUG_CONTAINER_IMAGE

is the name of the container you're targeting (in your case, the orchestrator container), and

DEBUG_CONTAINER_JAVA_OPTS

is the

JAVA_OPTS

you want to set. You can pass these as environment variables to the

docker compose

command like so:

bash DEBUG_CONTAINER_IMAGE="orchestrator-container-name" DEBUG_CONTAINER_JAVA_OPTS="your-java-opts" VERSION="dev" docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose.debug.yaml up

Please replace

"orchestrator-container-name"

with the actual name of your orchestrator container and

"your-java-opts"

with the

JAVA_OPTS

you want to set. This will set the

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS

environment variable in the orchestrator container to the value of `DEBUG_CONTAINER_JAVA_OPTS`[^1^]. Please note that this method is used for debugging purposes and might not be suitable for production environments.

I'am using helm

That's great! Deploying Airbyte using Helm charts is a recommended method as it automates the deployment and management of complex applications on Kubernetes. If you have deployed Airbyte with default values, you would have used the following command:

bash helm install %release_name% airbyte/airbyte

Remember that

release_name

should only contain lowercase letters and optionally dashes, and it must start with a letter. For a custom deployment, you would have created a

values.yaml

file in the local folder and populated it with default configuration override values. Then, you would have run the following command:

bash helm install --values path/to/values.yaml %release_name% airbyte/airbyte

If you have any issues or further questions about your deployment, feel free to ask! Sources: - [Deploy Airbyte on Kubernetes using Helm](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-kubernetes-via-helm#deploy-airbyte) - [Deploying Airbyte](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/)
