zfs-server-cluster-setup

A set of installation and setup scripts for creating a cluster of CentOS servers that boot from the ZFS filesystem.

DeSCRIPTions

ubuntu-zfs-setup.sh

Install Ubuntu with a ZFS filesystem. Should be run from a live USB (unlike the CentOS script) of the desktop version of Ubuntu. Tested and working with Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04. Based on this wiki article.

ubuntu-admin-tools.sh

Install XRDP remote desktop, ssh access, firewall, utility packages, and xfce desktop settings.

ubuntu-k8s-setup.sh

Install kubernetes using kubeadm to a node, either the master node or a worker node. The master node must be installed first, which will generate a "kubeadm join" command to be run on the worker nodes.

install-common.sh

Common functions for all the scripts, such as output text coloring, error messages, and disk utilities

centos-zfs-setup.sh

Install CentOS with a ZFS filesystem. Should be run from a CentOS installation, not a live USB. See the beginning of the script for instructions. This script is not working and I have switched to Ubuntu for the setup. If you have a fix, submit a pull request.

Future Scripts:

  • backup-script-setup.sh -- Install a cron job that backs up the ZFS pool with syncoid to another location specified by the user.

Other Ideas

  • config files to further automate the setup and to provide the same options to multiple scripts
  • scripts to install monitoring tools that will email the user when ZFS has a fault or when a kubernetes node fails
  • a way to remotely access the system with ssh tunneling if the machine becomes not externally accessible
