Block Devices and Nomad
=========================
Like Kubernetes, Nomad can use Ceph Block Device. This is made possible by
`ceph-csi`_, which allows you to dynamically provision RBD images or import
existing RBD images.
Every version of Nomad is compatible with `ceph-csi`_, but the reference
version of Nomad that was used to generate the procedures and guidance in this
document is Nomad v1.1.2, the latest version available at the time of the
writing of the document.
To use Ceph Block Devices with Nomad, you must install
and configure ``ceph-csi`` within your Nomad environment. The following
diagram shows the Nomad/Ceph technology stack.
.. ditaa::
+-------------------------+-------------------------+
| Container | ceph--csi |
| | node |
| ^ | ^ |
| | | | |
+----------+--------------+-------------------------+

| v | |
| Nomad | |

v v
+------------------------+ +------------------------+
| | | rbd--nbd |
| Kernel Modules | +------------------------+
| | | librbd |
+------------------------+-+------------------------+
| RADOS Protocol |
+------------------------+-+------------------------+
| OSDs | | Monitors |
+------------------------+ +------------------------+
.. note::
Nomad has many possible task drivers, but this example uses only a Docker container.
.. important::
``ceph-csi`` uses the RBD kernel modules by default, which may not support
all Ceph `CRUSH tunables`_ or `RBD image features`_.
Create a Pool
=============
By default, Ceph block devices use the ``rbd`` pool. Ensure that your Ceph
cluster is running, then create a pool for Nomad persistent storage:
.. prompt:: bash $
ceph osd pool create nomad
See `Create a Pool`_ for details on specifying the number of placement groups
for your pools. See `Placement Groups`_ for details on the number of placement
groups you should set for your pools.
A newly created pool must be initialized prior to use. Use the ``rbd`` tool
to initialize the pool:
.. prompt:: bash $
rbd pool init nomad
Configure ceph-csi
==================
Setup Ceph Client Authentication
--------------------------------
Create a new user for nomad and `ceph-csi`. Execute the following and
record the generated key::
$ ceph auth get-or-create client.nomad mon 'profile rbd' osd 'profile rbd pool=nomad' mgr 'profile rbd pool=nomad'
[client.nomad]
key = AQAlh9Rgg2vrDxAARy25T7KHabs6iskSHpAEAQ==
Configure Nomad
---------------
By default Nomad doesn't allow containers to use privileged mode.
Edit the nomad configuration file by adding this configuration block to `/etc/nomad.d/nomad.hcl`::
plugin "docker" {
config {
allow_privileged = true
}
}
Nomad must have `rbd` module loaded, check if it's the case.::
$ lsmod |grep rbd
rbd 94208 2
libceph 364544 1 rbd
If it's not the case, load it.::
$ sudo modprobe rbd
And restart Nomad.
Create ceph-csi controller and plugin nodes
===========================================
The `ceph-csi`_ plugin requieres two components:
- **Controller plugin**: Communicates with the provider's API.
- **Node plugin**: execute tasks on the client.
.. note::
We'll set the ceph-csi's version in those files see `ceph-csi release`_ for other versions.
Configure controller plugin
---------------------------
The controller plugin requires Cpeh monitor addresses of for the Ceph cluster.
Collect both the Ceph cluster unique `fsid` and the monitor addresses::
$ ceph mon dump
<...>
fsid b9127830-b0cc-4e34-aa47-9d1a2e9949a8
<...>
0: [v2:192.168.1.1:3300/0,v1:192.168.1.1:6789/0] mon.a
1: [v2:192.168.1.2:3300/0,v1:192.168.1.2:6789/0] mon.b
2: [v2:192.168.1.3:3300/0,v1:192.168.1.3:6789/0] mon.c
Generate a `ceph-csi-plugin-controller.nomad` file similar to the example below, substituting
the `fsid` for "clusterID", and the monitor addresses for "monitors"::
job "ceph-csi-plugin-controller" {
datacenters = ["dc1"]
group "controller" {
network {
port "metrics" {}
}
task "ceph-controller" {
template {
data = <<EOF
[{
"clusterID": "b9127830-b0cc-4e34-aa47-9d1a2e9949a8",
"monitors": [
"192.168.1.1",
"192.168.1.2",
"192.168.1.3"
]
}]
EOF
destination = "local/config.json"
change_mode = "restart"
}
driver = "docker"
config {
image = "quay.io/cephcsi/cephcsi:v3.3.1"
volumes = [
"./local/config.json:/etc/ceph-csi-config/config.json"
]
mounts = [
{
type = "tmpfs"
target = "/tmp/csi/keys"
readonly = false
tmpfs_options = {
size = 1000000 # size in bytes
}
}
]
args = [
"--type=rbd",
"--controllerserver=true",
"--drivername=rbd.csi.ceph.com",
"--endpoint=unix://csi/csi.sock",
"--nodeid=${node.unique.name}",
"--instanceid=${node.unique.name}-controller",
"--pidlimit=-1",
"--logtostderr=true",
"--v=5",
"--metricsport=$${NOMAD_PORT_metrics}"
]
}
resources {
cpu = 500
memory = 256
}
service {
name = "ceph-csi-controller"
port = "metrics"
tags = [ "prometheus" ]
}
csi_plugin {
id = "ceph-csi"
type = "controller"
mount_dir = "/csi"
}
}
}
}
Configure plugin node
---------------------
Generate a `ceph-csi-plugin-node.nomad` file similar to the example below, substituting
the `fsid` for "clusterID", and the monitor addresses for "monitors"::
job "ceph-csi-plugin-nodes" {
datacenters = ["dc1"]
type = "system"
group "nodes" {
network {
port "metrics" {}
}
task "ceph-node" {
driver = "docker"
template {
data = <<EOF

target = "/tmp/csi/keys"
readonly = false
tmpfs_options = {
size = 1000000 # size in bytes
}
}
]
args = [
"--type=rbd",
"--drivername=rbd.csi.ceph.com",
"--nodeserver=true",
"--endpoint=unix://csi/csi.sock",
"--nodeid=${node.unique.name}",
"--instanceid=${node.unique.name}-nodes",
"--pidlimit=-1",
"--logtostderr=true",
"--v=5",
"--metricsport=$${NOMAD_PORT_metrics}"
]
privileged = true
}
resources {
cpu = 500
memory = 256
}
service {
name = "ceph-csi-nodes"
port = "metrics"
tags = [ "prometheus" ]
}
csi_plugin {
id = "ceph-csi"
type = "node"

}
}
}
}
Start plugin controller and node
--------------------------------
Run::
nomad job run ceph-csi-plugin-controller.nomad
nomad job run ceph-csi-plugin-nodes.nomad
`ceph-csi`_ image will be downloaded, after few minutes check plugin status::
$ nomad plugin status ceph-csi
ID = ceph-csi
Provider = rbd.csi.ceph.com
Version = 3.3.1
Controllers Healthy = 1
Controllers Expected = 1
Nodes Healthy = 1
Nodes Expected = 1

Using Ceph Block Devices
========================
Create rbd image
----------------
`ceph-csi` requires the cephx credentials for communicating with the Ceph
cluster. Generate a `ceph-volume.hcl` file similar to the example below,
using the newly created nomad user id and cephx key::
id = "ceph-mysql"
name = "ceph-mysql"
type = "csi"
plugin_id = "ceph-csi"
capacity_max = "200G"
capacity_min = "100G"
capability {
access_mode = "single-node-writer"
attachment_mode = "file-system"
}
secrets {
userID = "admin"
userKey = "AQAlh9Rgg2vrDxAARy25T7KHabs6iskSHpAEAQ=="
}
parameters {
clusterID = "b9127830-b0cc-4e34-aa47-9d1a2e9949a8"
pool = "nomad"
imageFeatures = "layering"
}
Once generated, create the volume::
$ nomad volume create ceph-volume.hcl
Use rbd image with a container
------------------------------
As example we'll modify Hashicorp learn `nomad sateful`_ example
Generate a mysql.nomad file similar to the example below.::
job "mysql-server" {
datacenters = ["dc1"]
type = "service"
group "mysql-server" {
count = 1
volume "ceph-mysql" {
type = "csi"
attachment_mode = "file-system"
access_mode = "single-node-writer"
read_only = false
source = "ceph-mysql"
}
network {
port "db" {
static = 3306
}
}
restart {
attempts = 10
interval = "5m"
delay = "25s"
mode = "delay"
}
task "mysql-server" {
driver = "docker"
volume_mount {
volume = "ceph-mysql"
destination = "/srv"
read_only = false
}
env {
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD = "password"
}
config {
image = "hashicorp/mysql-portworx-demo:latest"
args = ["--datadir", "/srv/mysql"]
ports = ["db"]
}
resources {
cpu = 500
memory = 1024
}
service {
name = "mysql-server"
port = "db"
check {
type = "tcp"
interval = "10s"
timeout = "2s"
}
}
}
}
}
Start the job::
$ nomad job run mysql.nomad
Check job's status::
nomad job status mysql-server
...
Status = running
...
Allocations
ID Node ID Task Group Version Desired Status Created Modified
38070da7 9ad01c63 mysql-server 0 run running 6s ago 3s ago
To check data are actually persistant, you can modify database, purge the job then create it using the same file.
It will reuse the same RBD image.
