Hi All,
I am looking for a viable solution for shared storage across Rancher nodes for container access.
I did come across this discussion which “might” be a solution, but am wondering if there is any other supported solution at this time?
Also, I was looking through the Catalog (via Rancher Server) and did not see anything that might work as well.
Just a side thought, I was wondering if anyone has investigate IPFS (https://ipfs.io/) or tried it?
Cheers,
Lonnie
ipfs.io looks interesting, in the same vein, can I point you to
and
minio --> www.minio.io
flocker seems to be dead (or rather clusterHQ seems to be dead).
It’s also worth looking at the https://kubernetes.iokubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes as the next version of rancher will be heavily based on k8s
PS - sorry about the fugly links, I guess I don’t even enough street cred to post more than 1 link atm
If you don’t need much IO, you can try NFS, but if you do, NFS is definitely not the solution, I mean, you can’t mount volumes from NFS directly to containers, you maybe have to sync NFS directory to another directory, then mount this one on your container.
I noticed a thread here about Rook.io It seems to simplify setting up Ceph within a Kubernetes cluster; which would probably go very well with Rancher 2.0; or 1.6.x if you are using kubernetes with it.
Minio.io also looks interesting.
After 2.x, there may be more development on Rancher Longhorn as well.
