Kubernetes Container Storage Interface driver for Hetzner Cloud Volumes

Container Storage Interface driver for Hetzner Cloud

This is a Container Storage Interface driver for Hetzner Cloud enabling you to use Volumes within Kubernetes. Please note that this driver requires Kubernetes 1.13 or newer.

Getting Started

1. Create an API token in the Hetzner Cloud Console.

2. Create a secret containing the token:

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     name: hcloud-csi
     namespace: kube-system
   stringData:
     token: YOURTOKEN
   

3. Deploy the CSI driver and wait until everything is up and running:

   Have a look at our Version Matrix to pick the correct deployment file.

   kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hetznercloud/csi-driver/v1.2.0/deploy/kubernetes/hcloud-csi.yml
   

4. To verify everything is working, create a persistent volume claim and a pod which uses that volume:

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
   metadata:
     name: csi-pvc
   spec:
     accessModes:
     - ReadWriteOnce
     resources:
       requests:
         storage: 10Gi
     storageClassName: hcloud-volumes
   ---
   kind: Pod
   apiVersion: v1
   metadata:
     name: my-csi-app
   spec:
     containers:
       - name: my-frontend
         image: busybox
         volumeMounts:
         - mountPath: "/data"
           name: my-csi-volume
         command: [ "sleep", "1000000" ]
     volumes:
       - name: my-csi-volume
         persistentVolumeClaim:
           claimName: csi-pvc
   

   Once the pod is ready, exec a shell and check that your volume is mounted at /data.

   kubectl exec -it my-csi-app -- /bin/sh
