#333 removing gluster/ceph rpms from base atomic host
Closed: Fixed 7 years ago Opened 7 years ago by dustymabe.

These were removed as part of the remove of kube. They were originally added here as a result of this BZ

We need to determine if tools like openshift-ansible depend on them being in the host for gluster storage to work or if it all works inside containers for them.

A longer term approach would be to get package layering support in an ansible module so that we could worry about stuff like this less.

The mount.glusterfs command (provided in glusterfs-fuse RPM) is required to be able to make use of GlusterFS volumes in kube/openshift. Without it the nodes won't be able to provide those volumes to their containers.

@jarrpa - i'll ask the naive question before someone else does in this thread; is there is no way to do this by running mount.glusterfs command from inside a container?

The answer can be "yes, but with pain". We just want to gauge the level of pain :)

@dustymabe Honestly, I wouldn't know. :) Never tried! I don't know enough about Atomic to truly understand how that would work, unfortunately. I'm also a bit unfamiliar with the glusterfs-fuse packaging, so i don't know if the RPM has other packaging or configuration dependencies.

@jarrpa - could we bring in someone who knows better? maybe we can chat on IRC tomorrow and help figure some things out.

@dustymabe I'm out in CA for a conference through tomorrow. I'm still in CA on Friday but would be more open to an IRC or audio/video meeting.

@jarrpa ok - let's get something together and chat with some people who know more about glusterfs-fuse and openshift-ansible.

I just looked at this on f27 w/ layering. Here's what's added:

here's some more detailed information:

Is this ok [y/N]: N

so gluster is 7M installed and ceph is 77M.

talked in the atomic working group meeting today. the current proposal is that we keep gluster in since it is rather small, and leave ceph out.

Please voice objections/concerns here, otherwise we'll take action soonish.

It looks like while support may have come in docker, kubernetes still doesn't support the sidecar style container that would allow us to pull these from AH. There is a proposal from the OpenShift team to add that support to k8s here:

https://trello.com/c/7r78wcDN/42-8-design-containerized-mount-for-volume-filesystem-plugins-client-container

The card is old, and the various links are some what historical, but it looks like the team is still working on it.

My thoughts are things still need to be shipped in the host until that's fixed.

in that case we should add them both back. Any objections?

+1 on adding them both back until they can be side-loaded.

What about package layering?

I'm fine w/ leaving them in, though.

What about package layering?

I'd prefer to have ansible support for package layering and livefs support to not be experimental before relying on layering :(

I'm fine w/ leaving them in, though.

PRs:

The gluser/ceph rpms are now back in f27 and rawhide. Closing this issue.
