hostpath CSI driver example

WARNING: This driver is in ALPHA currently. Do NOT use this driver in a production environment in its current state.

  • supported Kubernetes version: v1.10.0 ~ v.11.x
  • supported agent OS: Linux

Note: This driver only works before v1.12.0 since there is a CSI breaking change in v1.12.0, find details here

Install hostpath CSI driver on a kubernetes cluster

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/kubernetes-volume-drivers/master/csi/hostpath/deployment/csi-hostpath-driver.yaml
  • watch the status of all component pods until its Status changed from Pending to Running
$ kubectl get po -o wide --namespace=hostpath
NAME                         READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       IP            NODE

Basic Usage

1. Create a hostpath CSI storage class

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/kubernetes-volume-drivers/master/csi/hostpath/storageclass-csi-hostpath.yaml

2. Create a hostpath CSI PVC

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/kubernetes-volume-drivers/master/csi/hostpath/pvc-csi-hostpath.yaml

make sure pvc is created successfully

watch kubectl describe pvc pvc-csi-hostpath

3. create a pod with hostpath CSI PVC

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/kubernetes-volume-drivers/master/csi/hostpath/nginx-pod-csi-hostpath.yaml

4. enter the pod container to do validation

azureuser@k8s-master-87187153-0:~$ kubectl exec -it  nginx-csi-hostpath -- bash
root@nginx-csi-hostpath:/# df -h

tmpfs           3.4G   12K  3.4G   1% /run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount

Note

  • CSI hostpath driver would mkdir under /var/lib/kubelet/pods/5a6d98a3-1c57-11e8-a48d-000d3afdbef1/volumes/kubernetes.io~csi/kubernetes-dynamic-pvc-5a7519c9-1c57-11e8-99dd-bab516dca496/mount, mount to /data dir in the above example
  • clean up all clusterroles & clusterrolebindings:
kubectl delete namespace hostpath
kubectl delete clusterrole hostpath:external-provisioner-runner
kubectl delete clusterrole hostpath:external-attacher-runner
kubectl delete clusterrole csi-hostpath
kubectl delete clusterrolebinding csi-hostpath-provisioner-role
kubectl delete clusterrolebinding csi-hostpath-attacher-role
kubectl delete clusterrolebinding csi-hostpath
