How to install juiceFS (server) on Kubernetes?

[guettli]

Maybe I am blind, but I found no docs about installing juiceFS (server) on Kubernetes.

Or is that not supported, and only the client is open source?

I happened to see this at one point, so sharing in case helpful: https://juicefs.com/docs/csi/introduction

@ak2k thank you for your reply. But maybe I am missing something: The link you mentioned documents the usage of juiceFS via CSI.

My question is about: How to deploy juiceFS in my Kubernetes cluster. Only after that step I can actually use juiceFS via CSi.

Hi @guettli, Juicefs accesses configured (external to juicefs) object storage and metadata/"database" storage for persistence (the "server" equivalent). Hence, you can leverage a public cloud service or self-host compatible equivalents, though self-hosting these enabling services isn't within the intended scope of juicefs.

thank you for your reply.

Now I understand. You only need the CSI driver. Then you configure s3 and metadata-server, and then you have all you need.
