⁠Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

The tag of each glusterfs docker image is consist of the version of glusterfs and the version of basic image. The details are as follows

⁠Usage

In this usage, users can select the corresponding {Tag} based on their requirements.

• Pull the openeuler/glusterfs image from docker

  docker pull openeuler/glusterfs:{Tag}
  

  Copy

• Run with an interactive shell

  You can also start the container with an interactive shell to use glusterfs.

  docker run -it --rm openeuler/glusterfs:{Tag} bash
  

  Copy

• Start the GlusterFS management daemon

  glusterd
  

  Copy

  This start the glusterd service, which manages your cluster state.

• Create a brick directory and a mount point

  ClusterFS requires a physical directory to store data (called a brick) and a local directory where you will mount the volume.

  mkdir -p /bricks/brick1 /mnt/glusterfs
  

  Copy

• Get your container's real IP address

  Using localhost or 127.0.0.1 does not work for volume creation -- use the actual IP.

  dnf install -y hostname
  export NODE_IP=$(hostname -i | awk '{print $1}')
  echo "Node IP: ${NODE_IP}"
  

  Copy

• Create the ClusterFS volume

  Use the actual IP and the brick path. The force flag allows you to create a single-node volume.

  gluster volume create testvol ${NODE_IP}:/bricks/brick1 force
  

  Copy

• Start the volume

  gluster volume start testvol
  

  Copy

• Mount the volume

  Use mount -t glusterfs. Note: You must run the container in --privileged mode (or with --cap-add SYS_ADMIN) so the kernel allows FUSE mounts.

  mount -t glusterfs ${NODE_IP}:/testvol /mnt/glusterfs
  

  Copy

• Verify

  Write a file into your mounted GlusterFS volume and list its contents.

  echo "test file" > /mnt/glusterfs/test.txt
  ls -l /mnt/glusterfs
  

  Copy

  You should see text.txt inside your mounted volume.
