# Bootstrap HA GlusterFS Cluster in GCE
* This project bootstraps off-cluster HA GlusterFS Cluster, if you are interested to run HA GlusterFS Cluster in Kubernetes, check out [gluster-kubernetes](https://github.com/gluster/gluster-kubernetes) project.
As you know shared file systems are a tricky problem. One solution to that problem is a distributed file system. Something that your apps can read from and write to. When it comes to distributed file systems, [GlusterFS](https://www.gluster.org) is one of the leading products.
With a few simple scripts on your Mac OS X or Linux machine, you can deploy a multi-zone HA GlusterFS cluster to [Google Compute Engine](https://cloud.google.com/compute/) (GCE) that provides scalable, persistent shared storage for your GCE or [Google Container Engine](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/) (GKE) [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) clusters.
By default it is set to three GlusterFS servers, one server per Google Cloud zone in the same chosen region.
## Prerequisites
Before continuing, please make sure you have:
* A [Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com) account
* The [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/) installed
* Git installed
### Clone this project and set settings:
````
$ git clone https://github.com/rimusz/glusterfs-gce
$ cd glusterfs-gce/cluster
````
* Edit the `cluster/settings` file and set `PROJECT, REGION and ZONES`, the rest of settings in this file are probably fine, but can be adjusted if need be.
### Bootstrap the cluster
```
$ ./create_cluster.sh
```
This command will create three servers.
Each server will have:
* A static IP
* The GlusterFS server package installed
* A Google Cloud persistent disk to be used as a GlusterFS *brick*, that is: storage space made available to the cluster
### Create volumes
A GlusterFS *volume* is a collection of bricks. A volume can store data across the bricks in three basic ways: distributed, striped, or replicated.
With the script below you will be able to create GFS replicated volumes on all three servers automaticly:
```
$ cd ..
$ ./create_volume.sh VOLUME_NAME
```
##### At this point, your GlusterFS cluster should be fully set up and operational
You can check Kubernetes GlusterFS [example](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/examples/volumes/glusterfs) how to use GlusterFS with Kubernetes.
### Extras
In `cluster` folder there are two more scripts:
* `upgrade_glusterfs.sh ` - allows to upgrade GlusterFS server package on all servers
* `upgrade_servers.sh` - runs `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade` on all servers
### Delete the cluster
```
$ ./delete_cluster.sh
```
This command will delete the whole cluster.
