Anthill is an operator for managing Gluster clusters serving storage for Kubernetes clusters. An operator is a Kubernetes controller that is focused on managing a specific application with the goal of automating common tasks that an administrator would typically perform. Anthill can manage multiple Gluster clusters within a single Kubernetes installation, and those clusters need not be homogeneous in either configuration or topology.
While the current repository resides under the jarrpa namespace, it is
intended to eventually move to the gluster organization namespace. The project
is currently written in anticipation of that move, hence it is not possible to
simply perform a go get.
For some directory <src> in your GOPATH:
mkdir -p <src>/github.com/gluster
cd <src>/github.com/gluster
git checkout git@github.com:jarrpa/anthill.git
cd anthill
make
The Makefile recognizes several environment variables
-
PROJECT: Project name. This is used as part of the path inside the build container as well as the name of the container image.Default:
gluster/anthill -
VERSION: The container image version.Default:
latest -
IMAGE: The full image name.Default:
$(PROJECT):$(VERSION) -
CONTAINER_DIR: The directory inside the container where the project will be recognized in the GOPATH.Default:
/go/src/github.com/$(PROJECT) -
DOCKER_CMD: The Docker command to use on the host system.Default:
docker
NOTE: The build process uses Docker, so make sure you either run as root or have sudo access to run docker. The following may be a useful shortcut:
DOCKER_CMD="sudo /usr/bin/docker" make
See the sample YAML manifests in the hack/deploy directory.

The Anthill developers hang out in #sig-storage on the Kubernetes Slack and in the #gluster IRC channel on the freenode network.
And, of course, Issues and Pull Requests are always welcomed.
