Description
The "cernvm-fs" cookbook deploys and configures CernVM-FS infrastructure.
CernVM File System (CernVM-FS) is a read-only network file system based on HTTP and optimized to deliver software in a fast, scalable, and reliable way. Files and file meta-data are cached and downloaded on demand.
Requirements
- Chef version >=10.12
- sys cookbook > 0.10.0
Platforms
- Debian 7 (Wheezy)
- No other platforms supported yet.
Usage
CVMFS contains client-side software to mount a CVMFS “repository” as well as a web-server component to deliver files. A basic manual deployment and configuration with a repository server and a single client is described in documents/manual.markdown.
Build CVMFS Debian packages with the cvmfs-install script, and upload the deb-files to a local package repository. Deployment and configuration of a CVMFS server is described in documents/server.markdown. Mount CVMFS repositories on client nodes as explained in documents.client.markdown.
The recipe cernvm-fs::remote helps to keep software build systems in sync with the corresponding CVMFS server publishing this software (read documents/remote.markdown).
