[Gluster-users] Export gluster with NFS

[Strahil Nikolov]

I think you need the glusterfs-ganesha package. On CentOS8 you have to install it with the arch:
yum -y install glusterfs-ganesha.x86_64

Sounds similar with how one configures iscsi with pacemaker, where one uses portblock to ease the transition of clients in the event of migration.

I will run the all setup to make all steps clear in my mind. I was confused from the following commands which were not recognized (using Debian 10)
gluster nfs-ganesha enablegluster volume set <volname> ganesha.enable onI might be missing some step.

I can directly use gluster storage plugin from docker containers though it seems that this approach uses FUSE mount. I have read that nfs-ganesha i using libgfapi which provides better performance thus trying to use NFS through it.

I was thinking that each container can use the locally exposed NFS share (using localhost as the IP/domain of the NFS server, each container its own separate share). Reading the HA setup at the above link, it mentions the use of ganesha-ha.conf which incorporates some  HA_CLUSTER_NODES  etc parameters. I do not see the reason to go like that since HA is managed from gluster already.  Also at same doc it mentions that this HA approach is to be replaced from storhaug which when checking at github seems like an idle repo for years.  What is the best approach for HA using nf-ganesha?
