Map a RBD device inside a Docker container

People have been having trouble to map a RBD device in a container. Quick tip on how to map a Rados Block Device into a container.

Bootstrap a Ceph demo container:

$ docker run -d \
--net=host \
-v /var/lib/ceph:/var/lib/ceph \
-v /etc/ceph:/etc/ceph \
-e MON_IP=192.168.0.1 \
-e CEPH_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/24 \
ceph/demo

Enable the Kernel module and create the image:

$ sudo modprobe rbd
$ sudo rbd create foo -s 1024

Then bootstrap a container, map the container and put a filesystem on top of it:

$ sudo docker run -ti -v /dev:/dev -v /sys:/sys --net=host --privileged=true -v /etc/ceph:/etc/ceph ceph/base bash
root@atomic1:/# rbd map foo
/dev/rbd0

root@atomic1:/# rbd showmapped
id pool image snap device
0  rbd  foo   -    /dev/rbd0

root@atomic1:/# mkfs.ext4 /dev/rbd0
...
...

root@atomic1:/# mount /dev/rbd0 /mnt/

root@atomic1:/# df -h

Et voilà !
