Container Storage Interface (CSI) for SeaweedFs

Container storage interface is an industry standard that will enable storage vendors to develop a plugin once and have it work across a number of container orchestration systems.

SeaweedFS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system, to store and serve billions of files fast!

Deployment (Kubernetes)

Prerequisites:

• Already have a working Kubernetes cluster (includes kubectl)
• Already have a working SeaweedFS cluster

Utilize exiting SeaweedFS storage for your Kubernetes cluster (bare metal)

1. Git clone this repository and add your SeaweedFS master IP to deploy/kubernetes/seaweedfs-csi.yaml (2 places)

2. Apply the container storage interface for SeaweedFS for your cluster

$ kubectl apply -f deploy/kubernetes/seaweedfs-csi.yaml

3. Ensure all the containers are ready and running

$ kubectl get po -n kube-system

4. Testing: Create a persistant volume claim for 5GiB with name seaweedfs-csi-pvc with storage class seaweedfs-storage. The value, 5Gib does not have any significance as for SeaweedFS the whole filesystem is mounted into the container.

$ kubectl apply -f deploy/kubernetes/sample-seaweedfs-pvc.yaml

5. Verify if the persistant volume claim exists and wait until its the STATUS is Bound

$ kubectl get pvc

6. After its in Bound state, create a sample workload mounting that volume

$ kubectl apply -f deploy/kubernetes/sample-busybox-pod.yaml

7. Verify the storage mount of the busybox pod

$ kubectl exec my-csi-app -- df -h

8. Clean up

$ kubectl delete -f deploy/kubernetes/sample-busybox-pod.yaml
$ kubectl delete -f deploy/kubernetes/sample-seaweedfs-pvc.yaml
$ kubectl delete -f deploy/kubernetes/seaweedfs-csi.yaml
