gluster-csi-driver

This repo contains CSI driver for Gluster. The Container Storage Interface (CSI) is a proposed new industry standard for cluster-wide volume plugins. “Container Storage Interface” (CSI) enables storage vendors (SP) to develop a plugin once and have it work across a number of container orchestration (CO) systems.

Demo of GlusterFS CSI driver to create and delete volumes on GD2 Cluster

Building GlusterFS CSI driver

This repository contains the source and a Dockerfile to build the GlusterFS CSI driver. The driver is built as a multi-stage container build. This requires a relatively recent version of Docker or Buildah.

Docker packages can be obtained for CentOS, Fedora or other distributions.

To build, ensure docker is installed, and run:

Get inside the repository directory

[root@localhost]# cd gluster-csi-driver

Build the glusterfs-csi-driver container

[root@localhost]# ./build.sh

Support for Snapshot

Kubernetes v1.12 introduces alpha support for volume snapshotting. This feature allows creating/deleting volume snapshots, and the ability to create new volumes from a snapshot natively using the Kubernetes API.

To verify clone functionality work as intended, lets start with writing some data into already created application with PVC.

[root@localhost]# kubectl exec -it redis /bin/bash
root@redis:/data# cd /mnt/gluster/
root@redis:/mnt/gluster# echo "glusterfs csi clone test" > clone_data
