To mount a GlusterFS volume inside an LXC/LXD container, you need to do the following steps:
- Install GlusterFS client packages in the container:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install glusterfs-client
- Create a mountpoint directory in the container:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/glusterfs
- Mount the GlusterFS volume to the mountpoint directory:
sudo mount -t glusterfs <glusterfs-server-hostname-or-ip>:<volume-name> /mnt/glusterfs
Note:
- You may need to modify the firewall rules on the GlusterFS server to allow connections from the container.
- To make the mount persist across container reboots, you will need to add an entry to the container’s
/etc/fstabfile.
You can now access the files and directories stored in the GlusterFS volume from the container at the /mnt/glusterfs mountpoint.
