gce_gcsfuse

Installs and configures the Google GCS FUSE daemon for use with Google Compute Engine (GCE) instances that require block-filesystem style access to a Google Compute Storage bucket.

See https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcsfuse for more information on gcsfuse.

Dependencies

This cookbook requires runit for the Runit service configuration. It only supports Runit as a service provider at the moment.

Attributes

• default['gce_gcsfuse']['service'] Service provider to use to run cloud_sql_proxy. Defaults to runit
• default['gce_gcsfuse']['user'] User to run the gcsfuse daemon as. All files on the FUSE filesystem will be presented as owned by this user. See https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcsfuse/blob/master/docs/semantics.md#permissions-and-ownership for more information. Defaults to nobody
• default['gce_gcsfuse']['group'] Group to run the gcsfuse daemon as. See above. Defaults to nogroup
• default['gce_gcsfuse']['mountdir'] Directory to mount the FUSE filesystem on. Defaults to /gcsfuse
• default['gce_gcsfuse']['bucket'] GCS bucket to mount. This must be a bucket that your instance can access. Defaults to my-bucket

Recipes

default

Runs both gce_gcsfuse::install and gce_gcsfuse::service

install

Installs the gcsfuse package and ensures that the mountpoint is created and configured correctly.

service

Creates and configures a service to run gcsfuse with the correct parameters.

Currently only Runit is supported as a service provider.

Prerequisites

In order for gcsfuse to work correctly you must have enabled the Cloud Storage API for your project, and the instance must have the Cloud Storage scope defined.
