ChubaoFS CSI Driver

Overview

ChubaoFS Container Storage Interface (CSI) plugins.

Prerequisite

• Kubernetes 1.16.0
• CSI spec version 1.1.0

Prepare on-premise ChubaoFS cluster

An on-premise ChubaoFS cluster can be deployed separately, or within the same Kubernetes cluster as applications which require persistent volumes. Please refer to chubaofs-helm for more details on deployment using Helm.

Add labels to Kubernetes node

You should tag each Kubernetes node with the appropriate labels accorindly for CSI node of ChubaoFS. deploy/csi-controller-deployment.yaml and deploy/csi-node-daemonset.yaml have nodeSelector element, so you should add a label for nodes. If you want using ChubaoFS CSI in whole kubernetes cluster, you can delete nodeSelector element.

kubectl label node <nodename> chubaofs-csi-controller=enabled
kubectl label node <nodename> chubaofs-csi-node=enabled

Deploy the CSI driver

$ kubectl apply -f deploy/csi-rbac.yaml
$ kubectl apply -f deploy/csi-controller-deployment.yaml
$ kubectl apply -f deploy/csi-node-daemonset.yaml

Notes: If your kubernetes cluster alter the kubelet path /var/lib/kubelet to other path(such as: /data1/k8s/lib/kubelet), you must execute the following commands to update the path:

sed -i 's#/var/lib/kubelet#/data1/k8s/lib/kubelet#g' deploy/csi-controller-deployment.yaml

sed -i 's#/var/lib/kubelet#/data1/k8s/lib/kubelet#g' deploy/csi-node-daemonset.yaml

Use Remote ChubaoFS Cluster as backend storage

There is only 3 steps before finally using remote ChubaoFS cluster as file system

1. Create StorageClass
2. Create PVC (Persistent Volume Claim)
3. Reference PVC in a Pod

Create StorageClass

An example storage class yaml file is shown below.

kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: cfs-sc
provisioner: csi.chubaofs.com
reclaimPolicy: Delete
parameters:
  masterAddr: "master-service.chubaofs.svc.cluster.local:17010"
  consulAddr: "http://consul-service.chubaofs.svc.cluster.local:8500"
  owner: "csiuser"
  logLevel: "debug"

Creating command.

$ kubectl create -f deploy/storageclass.yaml

Create PVC

An example pvc yaml file is shown below.

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: cfs-pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteMany
  volumeMode: Filesystem
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 5Gi
  storageClassName: cfs-sc

$ kubectl create -f example/pvc.yaml

The field storageClassName refers to the StorageClass we already created.

Use PVC in a Pod

The example deployment.yaml looks like below.

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: cfs-csi-demo
  namespace: default
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: cfs-csi-demo-pod
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: cfs-csi-demo-pod
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: chubaofs-csi-demo
          image: nginx:1.17.9
          imagePullPolicy: "IfNotPresent"
          ports:
            - containerPort: 80
              name: "http-server"
          volumeMounts:
            - mountPath: "/usr/share/nginx/html"
              name: mypvc
      volumes:
        - name: mypvc
          persistentVolumeClaim:
            claimName: cfs-pvc

The field claimName refers to the PVC created before.

$ kubectl create -f examples/deployment.yaml
