# CSI CephFS plugin
The CSI CephFS plugin is able to both provision new CephFS volumes and attach and mount existing ones to workloads.
## Building
CSI CephFS plugin can be compiled in a form of a binary file or in a form of a Docker image. When compiled as a binary file, the result is stored in `_output/` directory with the name `cephfsplugin`. When compiled as an image, it's stored in the local Docker image store.
Building binary:
```bash
$ make cephfsplugin
```
Building Docker image:
```bash
$ make image-cephfsplugin
```
## Configuration
**Available command line arguments:**
Option | Default value | Description
------ | ------------- | -----------
`--endpoint` | `unix://tmp/csi.sock` | CSI endpoint, must be a UNIX socket
`--drivername` | `csi-cephfsplugin` | name of the driver (Kubernetes: `provisioner` field in StorageClass must correspond to this value)
`--nodeid` | _empty_ | This node's ID
`--volumemounter` | _empty_ | default volume mounter. Available options are `kernel` and `fuse`. This is the mount method used if volume parameters don't specify otherwise. If left unspecified, the driver will first probe for `ceph-fuse` in system's path and will choose Ceph kernel client if probing failed.
**Available volume parameters:**
Parameter | Required | Description
--------- | -------- | -----------
`monitors` | yes | Comma separated list of Ceph monitors (e.g. `192.168.100.1:6789,192.168.100.2:6789,192.168.100.3:6789`)
`mounter` | no | Mount method to be used for this volume. Available options are `kernel` for Ceph kernel client and `fuse` for Ceph FUSE driver. Defaults to "default mounter", see command line arguments.
`provisionVolume` | yes | Mode of operation. BOOL value. If `true`, a new CephFS volume will be provisioned. If `false`, an existing volume will be used.
`pool` | for `provisionVolume=true` | Ceph pool into which the volume shall be created
`rootPath` | for `provisionVolume=false` | Root path of an existing CephFS volume
`csiProvisionerSecretName`, `csiNodeStageSecretName` | for Kubernetes | name of the Kubernetes Secret object containing Ceph client credentials. Both parameters should have the same value
`csiProvisionerSecretNamespace`, `csiNodeStageSecretNamespace` | for Kubernetes | namespaces of the above Secret objects
**Required secrets for `provisionVolume=true`:**
Admin credentials are required for provisioning new volumes
* `adminID`: ID of an admin client
* `adminKey`: key of the admin client
**Required secrets for `provisionVolume=false`:**
User credentials with access to an existing volume
* `userID`: ID of a user client
* `userKey`: key of a user client
Notes on volume size: when provisioning a new volume, `max_bytes` quota attribute for this volume will be set to the requested volume size (see [Ceph quota documentation](http://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/cephfs/quota/)). A request for a zero-sized volume means no quota attribute will be set.
## Deployment with Kubernetes
Requires Kubernetes 1.11
Your Kubernetes cluster must allow privileged pods (i.e. `--allow-privileged` flag must be set to true for both the API server and the kubelet). Moreover, as stated in the [mount propagation docs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#mount-propagation), the Docker daemon of the cluster nodes must allow shared mounts.
YAML manifests are located in `deploy/cephfs/kubernetes`.
**Deploy RBACs for sidecar containers and node plugins:**
```bash
$ kubectl create -f csi-attacher-rbac.yaml
$ kubectl create -f csi-provisioner-rbac.yaml
$ kubectl create -f csi-nodeplugin-rbac.yaml
```
Those manifests deploy service accounts, cluster roles and cluster role bindings. These are shared for both RBD and CephFS CSI plugins, as they require the same permissions.
**Deploy CSI sidecar containers:**
```bash
$ kubectl create -f csi-cephfsplugin-attacher.yaml
$ kubectl create -f csi-cephfsplugin-provisioner.yaml
```
Deploys stateful sets for external-attacher and external-provisioner sidecar containers for CSI CephFS.
**Deploy CSI CephFS driver:**
```bash
$ kubectl create -f csi-cephfsplugin.yaml
```
Deploys a daemon set with two containers: CSI driver-registrar and the CSI CephFS driver.
## Verifying the deployment in Kubernetes
After successfuly completing the steps above, you should see output similar to this:
```bash
$ kubectl get all
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pod/csi-cephfsplugin-attacher-0 1/1 Running 0 26s
pod/csi-cephfsplugin-provisioner-0 1/1 Running 0 25s
pod/csi-cephfsplugin-rljcv 2/2 Running 0 24s
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
service/csi-cephfsplugin-attacher ClusterIP 10.104.116.218 <none> 12345/TCP 27s
service/csi-cephfsplugin-provisioner ClusterIP 10.101.78.75 <none> 12345/TCP 26s
...
```
You can try deploying a demo pod from `examples/cephfs` to test the deployment further.
### Notes on volume deletion
Volumes that were provisioned dynamically (i.e. `provisionVolume=true`) are allowed to be deleted by the driver as well, if the user chooses to do so. Otherwise, the driver is forbidden to delete such volumes - attempting to delete them is a no-op.
