Description

The "cernvm-fs" cookbook deploys and configures CernVM-FS infrastructure.

CernVM File System (CernVM-FS) is a read-only network file system based on HTTP and optimized to deliver software in a fast, scalable, and reliable way. Files and file meta-data are cached and downloaded on demand.

Requirements

  • Chef version >= 12
  • apache2 cookbook
  • sys cookbook (for package repository setup on Chef < 13)

Platforms

  • Debian 7 (Wheezy)
  • Debian 8 (Jessie)
  • Debian 9 (Stretch)
  • Debian 10 (Buster)

Usage

CVMFS contains client-side software to mount a CVMFS “repository” as well as a web-server component to deliver files. A basic manual deployment and configuration with a repository server and a single client is described in documents/manual.markdown.

This repository contains the script cvmfs-install to build CVMFS Debian packages that can be uploaded to a local package repository. These builds are deprecated. Instead the official CVMFS package repository is configured (cf. recipe apt_repository and packages are installed from this repository.

Deployment and configuration of a CVMFS server is described in documents/server.markdown. Only the CVMFS client setup is currently operational and tested.

Mount CVMFS repositories on client nodes as explained in documents/client.markdown.

The recipe cernvm-fs::remote helps to keep software build systems in sync with the corresponding CVMFS server publishing this software (read documents/remote.markdown).
