Hostpath CSI Plugin

Author: @hashicorp/nomad-eng

This directory includes a demo using the CSI host path driver to create local "host path" volumes that can be mounted via the Nomad CSI implementation.

What Is This For?

The hostpath plugin is for demonstration and development purposes only. It shouldn't be used for production. If you want to get a quick idea of how CSI works on Nomad in a Vagrant environment, this demo is a good option.

Requirements

• A running Nomad cluster with docker.privileged.enabled = true. The Nomad developer Vagrantfile in this repo is suitable.

Running the run.sh script in this directory will output the Nomad command used to run the demo, as well as their outputs:
