Piraeus Datastore - High-Availability Datastore for Kubernetes

Piraeus is a high performance, highly-available, simple, secure, and cloud agnostic storage solution for Kubernetes.

The Piraeus Project consists of:

• A Helm Chart and Kubernetes Operator to create, configure and maintain all components of Piraeus.
• A CSI Driver to provision persistent volumes and snapshots on the storage cluster maintained by Piraeus.
• A High Availability Controller to speed up the failover process of stateful workloads
• Container images for the open source components Piraeus is built on:
  • DRBD is used as the underlying storage replication mechanism between cluster nodes. Documentation is provided by LINBIT.
  • LINSTOR creates and manages volumes on request of the CSI Driver, sets up replication using DRBD and prepares the backing storage devices. Documentation is provided by LINBIT.

Piraeus is a CNCF Sandbox Project.

Getting started

Installing Piraeus can be as easy as:

$ git clone https://github.com/piraeusdatastore/piraeus-operator.git
$ cd piraeus-operator
$ git checkout v1.3.1 # Switch to the latest release!
$ helm install piraeus-op ./charts/piraeus 

Head on over to the Piraeus Operator repository to learn more. It contains detailed instructions on how to get started using Piraeus.

It also contains a set of basic YAML files for deployment without Helm. See here.

This repository also contains a set of YAML files for deploying Piraeus without the aid of the Piraeus Operator. Since they are no longer actively maintained, they have been moved to legacy.
