democratic-csi implements the Container Storage Interface (CSI) spec to provide dynamic storage provisioning for container orchestration systems like Kubernetes. It offers multiple drivers for zfs-based storage systems (TrueNAS/FreeNAS, ZoL) sharing volumes over NFS, iSCSI, SMB, and NVMe-oF, plus a framework for developing new CSI drivers.
Use cases
- provision persistent volumes in Kubernetes from TrueNAS
- dynamically create zfs datasets over NFS for k8s pods
- csi driver for iscsi storage on freenas
- snapshot and resize persistent volume claims on zfs
- use zfs on ubuntu as kubernetes storage backend
- provision node-local zfs zvols for kubernetes
When to choose
- you run Kubernetes (or another orchestrator) against TrueNAS/FreeNAS or a zfs-on-linux server
- you need full CSI features like resizing, snapshots, and clones from zfs-backed storage
- you want a self-hosted alternative to cloud storage drivers
When to avoid
- you use a cloud provider with managed CSI drivers (EBS, PD, etc.)
- your storage backend is not zfs-based or one of the supported systems
- you need a non-container storage solution
