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::

| 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
==================
Ceph Client Authentication Setup
--------------------------------
Create a new user for Nomad and `ceph-csi`. Execute the following command and
record the generated key:
.. code-block:: console
$ 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
---------------
Configuring Nomad to Allow Containers to Use Privileged Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By default, Nomad doesn't allow containers to use privileged mode. We must
configure Nomad so that it allows containers to use privileged mode. Edit the
Nomad configuration file by adding the following configuration block to
`/etc/nomad.d/nomad.hcl`::
plugin "docker" {
config {
allow_privileged = true
}
}
Loading the rbd module
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nomad must have the `rbd` module loaded. Run the following command to confirm that the `rbd` module is loaded:
.. code-block:: console
$ lsmod | grep rbd
rbd 94208 2
libceph 364544 1 rbd
If the `rbd` module is not loaded, load it:
.. prompt:: bash $
sudo modprobe rbd
Restarting Nomad
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Restart Nomad:
.. prompt:: bash $
sudo systemctl restart nomad
Create ceph-csi controller and plugin nodes
===========================================
The `ceph-csi`_ plugin requires two components:
- **Controller plugin**: communicates with the provider's API.
- **Node plugin**: executes tasks on the client.
.. note::
We'll set the ceph-csi's version in those files. See `ceph-csi release`_
for information about ceph-csi's compatibility with other versions.
Configure controller plugin
---------------------------
The controller plugin requires the Ceph monitor addresses of the Ceph
cluster. Collect both (1) the Ceph cluster unique `fsid` and (2) the monitor
addresses:
.. code-block:: console
$ 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. Substitute 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=$${NOMAD_PORT_metrics}"
]
}
resources {
cpu = 500
memory = 256
}
service {
name = "ceph-csi-controller"
port = "metrics"
tags = [ "prometheus" ]
}
csi_plugin {
id = "ceph-csi"
type = "controller"
mount_dir = "/csi"
}
}
}
}
Configure plugin node
---------------------
Generate a ``ceph-csi-plugin-nodes.nomad`` file similar to the example below.
Substitute the `fsid` for "clusterID" and the monitor addresses for
"monitors"::
job "ceph-csi-plugin-nodes" {
datacenters = ["dc1"]
type = "system"
group "nodes" {
network {
port "metrics" {}
}
task "ceph-node" {
driver = "docker"
template {
data = <<EOF
[{
"clusterID": "b9127830-b0cc-4e34-aa47-9d1a2e9949a8",
"monitors": [
"192.168.1.1",
"192.168.1.2",
"192.168.1.3"
]
}]
EOF
destination = "local/config.json"
change_mode = "restart"
}
config {
image = "quay.io/cephcsi/cephcsi:v3.3.1"
volumes = [
"./local/config.json:/etc/ceph-csi-config/config.json"
]
mounts = [
{
type = "tmpfs"
target = "/tmp/csi/keys"
readonly = false
tmpfs_options = {
size = 1000000 # size in bytes
}
}
]
args = [
"--type=rbd",
"--drivername=rbd.csi.ceph.com",
"--nodeserver=true",
"--endpoint=unix://csi/csi.sock",
"--nodeid=${node.unique.name}",
"--instanceid=${node.unique.name}-nodes",
"--pidlimit=-1",
"--logtostderr=true",
"--v=5",
"--metricsport=$${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"
mount_dir = "/csi"
}
}
}
}
Start plugin controller and node
--------------------------------
To start the plugin controller and the Nomad node, run the following commands:
.. prompt:: bash $
nomad job run ceph-csi-plugin-controller.nomad
nomad job run ceph-csi-plugin-nodes.nomad
The `ceph-csi`_ image will be downloaded.
Check the plugin status after a few minutes:
.. code-block:: console
$ 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"
mkfsOptions = "-t ext4"
}
After the ``ceph-volume.hcl`` file has been generated, create the volume:
.. prompt:: bash $
nomad volume create ceph-volume.hcl
Use rbd image with a container
------------------------------
As an exercise in using an rbd image with a container, modify the Hashicorp
`nomad stateful`_ 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:
.. prompt:: bash $
nomad job run mysql.nomad
Check the status of the job:
.. code-block:: console
$ 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 that data are persistent, modify the database, purge the job, then
create it using the same file. The same RBD image will be used (re-used,
really).
