We just lost a chunk of a staging database and have taken a sudden interest in persistent volumes. Unfortunately, persistent volumes feel like an elusive shape-shifter so I’m not even sure what terms to search for.
It looks like Luis Gustavo Spern Barreto had a solution for this last summer with his REX-Ray DOBS DRIVER, but it would not run on our Rancher server (v1.6.14).
REX-Ray maintains a Digital Ocean Block Storage PLUGIN but we avoid SSH’ing into our servers.
Or maybe there is a way to get one of the rancher-nfs/efs/ebs catalog entries would do the trick?
But in my minds eye there should be a way for us to spin up something running across all our hosts that is configured with my DO API key, manages all the mounting / configuration required by DO, and allows all hosts to have shared access to the DO Volume / Block Storage.
If you’ve done this, or have any guidance, I would love to hear it. Thanks in advance!
