4 CephFS #
4.1 Shared File System #
A shared file system can be mounted with read/write permission from multiple pods. This may be useful for applications which can be clustered using a shared file system.
This example runs a shared file system for the kube-registry.
4.1.1 Prerequisites #
This guide assumes you have created a Rook cluster as explained in the main guide: Capítulo 1, Quick start.
By default, only one shared file system can be created with Rook. Multiple
file system support in Ceph is still considered experimental, and can be
enabled with the environment variable
ROOK_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_FILESYSTEMS
defined in
operator.yaml
.
4.1.2 Creating the File System #
Create the file system by specifying the desired settings for the metadata
pool, data pools, and metadata server in the
CephFilesystem
CRD. In this example, we create the
metadata pool with replication of three, and a single data pool with
replication of three. For more options, see the documentation
Seção 5.3, “Ceph shared file system CRD”.
Save this shared file system definition as
filesystem.yaml
:
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1 kind: CephFilesystem metadata: name: myfs namespace: rook-ceph spec: metadataPool: replicated: size: 3 dataPools: - replicated: size: 3 preservePoolsOnDelete: true metadataServer: activeCount: 1 activeStandby: true
The Rook operator will create all the pools and other resources necessary to start the service. This may take a minute to complete.
Create the file system:
kubectl@adm >
kubectl create -f filesystem.yaml
To confirm the file system is configured, wait for the MDS pods to start:
kubectl@adm >
kubectl -n rook-ceph get pod -l app=rook-ceph-mds
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
rook-ceph-mds-myfs-7d59fdfcf4-h8kw9 1/1 Running 0 12s
rook-ceph-mds-myfs-7d59fdfcf4-kgkjp 1/1 Running 0 12s
To see detailed status of the file system, start and connect to the Rook
toolbox. A new line will be shown with ceph status
for
the mds
service. In this example, there is one active
instance of MDS which is up, with one MDS instance in
standby-replay
mode in case of failover.
cephuser@adm >
ceph status
[...]
services:
mds: myfs-1/1/1 up {[myfs:0]=mzw58b=up:active}, 1 up:standby-replay
4.1.3 Provisioning Storage #
Before Rook can start provisioning storage, a
StorageClass
needs to be created based on the file
system. This is needed for Kubernetes to interoperate with the CSI driver
to create persistent volumes.
This example uses the CSI driver, which is the preferred driver going forward for Kubernetes 1.13 and newer.
Save this storage class definition as
storageclass.yaml
:
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: StorageClass metadata: name: rook-cephfs # Change "rook-ceph" provisioner prefix to match the operator namespace if needed provisioner: rook-ceph.cephfs.csi.ceph.com parameters: # clusterID is the namespace where operator is deployed. clusterID: rook-ceph # CephFS file system name into which the volume shall be created fsName: myfs # Ceph pool into which the volume shall be created # Required for provisionVolume: "true" pool: myfs-data0 # Root path of an existing CephFS volume # Required for provisionVolume: "false" # rootPath: /absolute/path # The secrets contain Ceph admin credentials. These are generated automatically by the operator # in the same namespace as the cluster. csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-name: rook-csi-cephfs-provisioner csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-namespace: rook-ceph csi.storage.k8s.io/controller-expand-secret-name: rook-csi-cephfs-provisioner csi.storage.k8s.io/controller-expand-secret-namespace: rook-ceph csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-name: rook-csi-cephfs-node csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-namespace: rook-ceph reclaimPolicy: Delete
If you have deployed the Rook operator in a namespace other than “rook-ceph”, change the prefix in the provisioner to match the namespace you used. For example, if the Rook operator is running in “rook-op”, the provisioner value should be “rook-op.rbd.csi.ceph.com”.
Create the storage class:
kubectl@adm >
kubectl create -f cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/csi/cephfs/storageclass.yaml
The CephFS CSI driver uses quotas to enforce the PVC size requested. Only newer kernels support CephFS quotas (kernel version of at least 4.17).
4.1.4 Consuming the Shared File System: K8s Registry Sample #
As an example, we will start the kube-registry pod with the shared file
system as the backing store. Save the following spec as
kube-registry.yaml
:
apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: cephfs-pvc spec: accessModes: - ReadWriteMany resources: requests: storage: 1Gi storageClassName: rook-cephfs --- apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: kube-registry namespace: kube-system labels: k8s-app: kube-registry kubernetes.io/cluster-service: "true" spec: replicas: 3 selector: matchLabels: k8s-app: kube-registry template: metadata: labels: k8s-app: kube-registry kubernetes.io/cluster-service: "true" spec: containers: - name: registry image: registry:2 imagePullPolicy: Always resources: limits: cpu: 100m memory: 100Mi env: # Configuration reference: https://docs.docker.com/registry/configuration/ - name: REGISTRY_HTTP_ADDR value: :5000 - name: REGISTRY_HTTP_SECRET value: "Ple4seCh4ngeThisN0tAVerySecretV4lue" - name: REGISTRY_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOTDIRECTORY value: /var/lib/registry volumeMounts: - name: image-store mountPath: /var/lib/registry ports: - containerPort: 5000 name: registry protocol: TCP livenessProbe: httpGet: path: / port: registry readinessProbe: httpGet: path: / port: registry volumes: - name: image-store persistentVolumeClaim: claimName: cephfs-pvc readOnly: false
Create the Kube registry deployment:
kubectl@adm >
kubectl create -f cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/csi/cephfs/kube-registry.yaml
You now have a High-Availability Docker registry with persistent storage.
If the Rook cluster has more than one file system and the application pod is scheduled to a node with kernel version older than 4.7, inconsistent results may arise, since kernels older than 4.7 do not support specifying file system namespaces.
4.1.5 Consuming the Shared File System: Toolbox #
Once you have pushed an image to the registry, verify that
kube-registry
is using the file system that was
configured above by mounting the shared file system in the toolbox pod.
4.1.5.1 Teardown #
To clean up all the artifacts created by the file system demo:
kubectl@adm >
kubectl delete -f kube-registry.yaml
To delete the file system components and backing data, delete the Filesystem CRD.
WARNING: Data will be deleted if
preservePoolsOnDelete=false
.
kubectl@adm >
kubectl -n rook-ceph delete cephfilesystem myfs
Note: If the “preservePoolsOnDelete” file system attribute is set to true, the above command won’t delete the pools. Creating the file system again with the same CRD will reuse the previous pools.
