## GlusterFS
[GlusterFS](http://www.gluster.org) is an open source scale-out filesystem. These examples provide information about how to allow containers use GlusterFS volumes.
The example assumes that you have already set up a GlusterFS server cluster and have a working GlusterFS volume ready to use in the containers.
### Prerequisites
* Set up a GlusterFS server cluster
* Create a GlusterFS volume
* If you are not using hyperkube, you may need to install the GlusterFS client package on the Kubernetes nodes ([Guide](http://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/))
### Create endpoints
The first step is to create the GlusterFS endpoints definition in Kubernetes. Here is a snippet of [glusterfs-endpoints.json](glusterfs-endpoints.json):
```
"subsets": [
{
"addresses": [{ "ip": "10.240.106.152" }],
"ports": [{ "port": 1 }]
},
{
"addresses": [{ "ip": "10.240.79.157" }],
"ports": [{ "port": 1 }]
}
]
```
The `subsets` field should be populated with the addresses of the nodes in the GlusterFS cluster. It is fine to provide any valid value (from 1 to 65535) in the `port` field.
Create the endpoints:
```sh
$ kubectl create -f examples/volumes/glusterfs/glusterfs-endpoints.json
```
You can verify that the endpoints are successfully created by running
```sh
$ kubectl get endpoints
NAME ENDPOINTS
glusterfs-cluster 10.240.106.152:1,10.240.79.157:1
```
We also need to create a service for these endpoints, so that they will persist. We will add this service without a selector to tell Kubernetes we want to add its endpoints manually. You can see [glusterfs-service.json](glusterfs-service.json) for details.
Use this command to create the service:
```sh
$ kubectl create -f examples/volumes/glusterfs/glusterfs-service.json
```
### Create a Pod
The following *volume* spec in [glusterfs-pod.json](glusterfs-pod.json) illustrates a sample configuration:
```json
"volumes": [
{
"name": "glusterfsvol",
"glusterfs": {
"endpoints": "glusterfs-cluster",
"path": "kube_vol",
"readOnly": true
}
}
]
```
The parameters are explained as the followings.
- **endpoints** is the name of the Endpoints object that represents a Gluster cluster configuration. *kubelet* is optimized to avoid mount storm, it will randomly pick one from the endpoints to mount. If this host is unresponsive, the next Gluster host in the endpoints is automatically selected.
- **path** is the Glusterfs volume name.
- **readOnly** is the boolean that sets the mountpoint readOnly or readWrite.
Create a pod that has a container using Glusterfs volume,
```sh
$ kubectl create -f examples/volumes/glusterfs/glusterfs-pod.json
```
You can verify that the pod is running:
```sh
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
glusterfs 1/1 Running 0 3m
```
You may execute the command `mount` inside the container to see if the GlusterFS volume is mounted correctly:
```sh
$ kubectl exec glusterfs -- mount | grep gluster
10.240.106.152:kube_vol on /mnt/glusterfs type fuse.glusterfs (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072)```
You may also run `docker ps` on the host to see the actual container.
