##A http/nginx frontend to CephFS in a container.
This docker container mounts a ceph filesystem and then exposes the mount via HTTP (nginx) for download and upload (PUT).
Tested on CoreOS on a 8 node Ceph cluster. Ceph setup based on https://github.com/ceph/ceph-docker
Build from Dockerfile:
docker build -t mbessler/cephfs-nginx .
Run:
docker run -d --rm --net host --volumes-from cephdata --privileged -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules -e CEPHFS=<CLUSTER>:/<VOLUME> mbessler/cephfs-nginx
where is a comma separated list of hostnames/IPs, and is a Ceph Volume.
For example: docker run -d --rm --net host --volumes-from cephdata --privileged -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules -e CEPHFS=192.168.1.201,192.168.1.202,192.168.1.203,192.168.1.204,192.168.1.205:/ mbessler/cephfs-nginx
Upload via
curl --upload dir/file_to_upload http://<SERVER>/some/directory/
or
curl -X PUT --data-binary @dir/file_to_upload http://<SERVER>/some/directory/file_to_upload
where is any IP/hostname in the Ceph cluster running this docker image.
Since nginx inside the container runs as user 'www-data', uploads require the appropriate directory on your Ceph volume to be writable by that user, eg:
docker exec -it <container> chown www-data /ceph/<dir>
