Filebrowser

Deploy a file browser on your persistent volume. This will provide a web UI to upload and download data to your DSRI persistent volume in case you need it (JupyterLab, RStudio and VisualStudio Code server already include a file browser)

You can start a container using the File Browser for existing storage template in the Catalog web UI (make sure the Templates checkbox is checked)

Deploy File browser

You can only deploy file browser on an existing Persistent Volume Claim, this enables you to add a web UI to access this storage.

The following parameters can be provided:

  1. Provide a unique Application name. It will be used to generate the application URL.
  2. Provide a Password, you will need to hash the password first for extra security, use this quick docker command to do it: docker run filebrowser/filebrowser hash mypassword
  3. The Storage name of the Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) that will be exposed by the filebrowser.
  4. Storage subpath in the the Persistent Volume Claim that will be exposed by the filebrowser. Let it empty to use the Root folder of the persistent volume.

You can find the Storage name if you Go to the deployments page > Storage panel.

Creating or Connecting an Existing Persistent Storage​

Find more details about the how to create persistent storage

Create Persistent StorageCreate Persistent Storage
info

The DSRI using the Openshift Container Stroage (OCS) which is based on CEPH offers ReadWriteOnce and ReadWriteMany access mode.

  • ReadWriteOnce (RWO) volumes cannot be mounted on multiple nodes. Use the ReadWriteMany (RWX) access mode when possible. If a node fails, the system does not allow the attached RWO volume to be mounted on a new node because it is already assigned to the failed node. If you encounter a multi-attach error message as a result, force delete the pod on a shut down or crashed node.
