## GlusterFS Native Storage Service for Kubernetes
**gluster-kubernetes** is a project to provide Kubernetes administrators a
mechanism to easily deploy GlusterFS as a native storage service onto an
existing Kubernetes cluster. Here, GlusterFS is managed and orchestrated like
any other app in Kubernetes. This is a convenient way to unlock the power of
dynamically provisioned, persistent GlusterFS volumes in Kubernetes.
### Component Projects
* **[Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io/)**, the container management system.
* **[GlusterFS](https://www.gluster.org/)**, the scale-out storage system.
* **[heketi](https://github.com/heketi/heketi)**, the RESTful volume management
interface for GlusterFS.
### Presentations
You can find slides and videos of community presentations [here](docs/presentations).

### Quickstart
If you already have a Kubernetes cluster you wish to use, make sure it meets
the prerequisites outlined in our [setup guide](./docs/setup-guide.md).
This project includes a vagrant setup in the `vagrant/` directory to spin up a
Kubernetes cluster in VMs. To run the vagrant setup, you'll need to have the
following pre-requisites on your machine:
* 4GB of memory
* 32GB of storage minimum, 112GB recommended
* ansible
* vagrant
* libvirt or VirtualBox
To spin up the cluster, simply run `./up.sh` in the `vagrant/` directory.
**NOTE**: If you plan to run ./up.sh more than once the vagrant setup supports
caching packages and container images. Please read the
[vagrant directory README](./vagrant/README.md)
for more information on how to configure and use the caching support.
Next, copy the `deploy/` directory to the master node of the cluster.
You will have to provide your own topology file. A sample topology file is
included in the `deploy/` directory (default location that gk-deploy expects)
which can be used as the topology for the vagrant libvirt setup. When
creating your own topology file:
* Make sure the topology file only lists block devices intended for heketi's
use. heketi needs access to whole block devices (e.g. /dev/sdb, /dev/vdb)
which it will partition and format.
* The `hostnames` array is a bit misleading. `manage` should be a list of
hostnames for the node, but `storage` should be a list of IP addresses on
the node for backend storage communications.
If you used the provided vagrant libvirt setup, you can run:
```bash
$ vagrant ssh-config > ssh-config
$ scp -rF ssh-config ../deploy master:
$ vagrant ssh master
[vagrant@master]$ cd deploy
[vagrant@master]$ mv topology.json.sample topology.json
```
The following commands are meant to be run with administrative privileges
(e.g. `sudo su` beforehand).
At this point, verify the Kubernetes installation by making sure all nodes are
Ready:
```bash
$ kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS AGE
master Ready 22h
node0 Ready 22h
node1 Ready 22h
node2 Ready 22h
```
**NOTE**: To see the version of Kubernetes (which will change based on
latest official releases) simply do `kubectl version`. This will help in
troubleshooting.
Next, to deploy heketi and GlusterFS, run the following:
```bash
$ ./gk-deploy -g
```
If you already have a pre-existing GlusterFS cluster, you do not need the
`-g` option.
After this completes, GlusterFS and heketi should now be installed and ready
to go. You can set the `HEKETI_CLI_SERVER` environment variable as follows so
that it can be read directly by `heketi-cli` or sent to something like `curl`:
```bash
$ export HEKETI_CLI_SERVER=$(kubectl get svc/heketi --template 'http://{{.spec.clusterIP}}:{{(index .spec.ports 0).port}}')
$ echo $HEKETI_CLI_SERVER
http://10.42.0.0:8080
$ curl $HEKETI_CLI_SERVER/hello
Hello from Heketi
```
Your Kubernetes cluster should look something like this:
```bash
$ kubectl get nodes,pods
NAME STATUS AGE
master Ready 22h
node0 Ready 22h
node1 Ready 22h
node2 Ready 22h
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
glusterfs-node0-2509304327-vpce1 1/1 Running 0 1d
glusterfs-node1-3290690057-hhq92 1/1 Running 0 1d
glusterfs-node2-4072075787-okzjv 1/1 Running 0 1d
heketi-3017632314-yyngh 1/1 Running 0 1d
```
You should now also be able to use `heketi-cli` or any other client of the
heketi REST API (like the GlusterFS volume plugin) to create/manage volumes and
then mount those volumes to verify they're working. To see an example of how
to use this with a Kubernetes application, see the following:
[Hello World application using GlusterFS Dynamic Provisioning](./docs/examples/hello_world/README.md)
