NFS provisioner for storageclass?

Daniel_Petersen · January 25, 2019, 1:10am

Hi,
I’m interested in using an existing NFS server for the default storageclass.

At the end of this page under ‘What’s Next?’ it suggests using NFS for a storageclass. In the Rancher UI for creating a storageclass, there is no ‘NFS’ provisioner, which just leaves ‘Custom’. Is there documentation somewhere specifying what parameters need to be specified, etc. to setup NFS as the default storageclass?

Also, since NFS is listed as one of the examples on the ‘Provisioning Storage Examples’, it would be great if the documentation gave detailed guidance on how to do this.

I think you are looking for this.

# Kubernetes NFS-Client Provisioner

[![Docker Repository on Quay](https://quay.io/repository/external_storage/nfs-client-provisioner/status "Docker Repository on Quay")](https://quay.io/repository/external_storage/nfs-client-provisioner)

**nfs-client** is an automatic provisioner that use your *existing and already configured* NFS server to support dynamic provisioning of Kubernetes Persistent Volumes via Persistent Volume Claims. Persistent volumes are provisioned as ``${namespace}-${pvcName}-${pvName}``.

# How to deploy nfs-client to your cluster.

To note again, you must *already* have an NFS Server.

## With Helm

Follow the instructions for the stable helm chart maintained at https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/nfs-client-provisioner

The tl;dr is

```bash
$ helm install stable/nfs-client-provisioner --set nfs.server=x.x.x.x --set nfs.path=/exported/path
```

Also available via Rancher catalog.
After you installed this, the nfs volumes class is available.

It is beta right ? Would you advise it for a Production environment ?

It works fine I have just tested it on my test installation.
