Describe the feature you'd like to have

Recently published Docker 23.0.0 added CSI support for Swarm mode so it is possible to use CSI drivers with it but they have to be packaged as Docker plugin.

What is the value to the end user? (why is it a priority?)

Docker Swarm users would gain the ability to use ceph in Docker Swarm via CSI instead of relying on bind mounting volumes.

How will we know we have a good solution? (acceptance criteria)

Packaged the CSI driver for Docker.
Able to create a cluster volume via the docker cli

Additional context

You can find more information here. Hetzner CSI has already merged a PR that adds support

Still +1

Contributions from someone that has tested it on Docker Swarm are still welcome!

I would also love to see this

nixpanic commented 12 months ago

There seems some interest in this feature. Most of the regular Ceph-CSI contributors are not familiar with Docker Swarm, so it is not something that they easily can do.

Contributions from others that would like to see this feature made available are most welcome!

s4ke commented 12 months ago

@nixpanic I would love to help out here at least with guidance, but sadly I don't have a working CEPH cluster to test this against. Any hints how to solve this (for dev at least)?

nixpanic commented 11 months ago

Hmm, I always use Rook to deploy my Ceph cluster. But that obviously won't work if you want to use Docker Swarm instead of Kubernetes.

The go-ceph project (https://github.com/ceph/go-ceph) runs CI with a small Ceph cluster that is deployed by some scripts. You might be able to use that to setup a small environment to test against.

s4ke commented 11 months ago

Ah, you are proposing adapting this https://github.com/ceph/go-ceph/blob/9408dd58842306bca172192d320ea9cfab08065a/Makefile#L182 but leaving out the final testing step. Good idea, should work.

s4ke commented 11 months ago

Even though this is closed as an issue, I guess we can keep the discussion here? I plan to work on this when I have time, but I don't know exactly when that will be.

miberecz commented 11 months ago

I do not see why this issue closed when its clearly should not be. Definitely keep us posted with you progress, or if there anything what we can help with.

I'd like to second what @nixpanic mentioned in a comment above.

I've reopened the issue and added keep alive label to avoid it from closing again.

s4ke commented 11 months ago

I 100% understand. That's why I am offering to help out. But as you know, time is a precious resource :). I will try to get some prototyping in, but that might not happen for a long time or it might happen over the weekend. I just don't know.

So to anyone of the Swarm fans - if you want to work on this (maybe with my help) - reach out to me or join our Swarm Fans discord over at https://devops.fan . Then we can join efforts :).

In general, I think that having a CEPH CSI provider for Swarm would be huge for anyone that is not on a cloud provider.

s4ke commented 11 months ago

Leaving some notes of prelimiary investigation here:

The Docker volume plugin will require its own entrypoint as configuration needs to happen via environment variables with docker plugins. I have only found cephcsi.go which uses flags.

miberecz commented 8 months ago

Any news about this?

s4ke commented 8 months ago

I sadly have not found the time to work on this yet.
