Hypervisor Host Based CephFS pass through with VirtioFS

Using VirtioFS backed by CephFS for bind mounts

This is currently a work-in-progress documentation - rough notes for me, maybe missing a lot or wrong

The idea is to replace GlusterFS running inside the VM with storage on my cephfs cluster. This is my proxmox cluster and it runs both the storage and is the hypervisor for my docker VMs.

Other possible approaches:

  • ceph fuse clien in VM to mount cephFS or CephRBD over IP
  • use of ceph docker volume plugin (no useable version of this yet exists but it is being worked on)
