04/27/2023, 11:45 PMIs there an alternate storage provider (preferably NFS) to Longhorn. It seems a overkill for us cost wise and feature wise?

04/28/2023, 1:46 PMThanks @creamy-pencil-82913 i will take a look
AFAIK I know longhorn is block storage so moving to a NFS solution in my opinion requires only changes to a few k8s templates like PV , PVC etc

04/28/2023, 6:45 PMits block storage but like all other storage providers when you provision a volume it’ll come with a filesystem on it and be mounted and everything, unless you set the volumeMode to Block instead of Filesystem

04/28/2023, 6:47 PMThanks @creamy-pencil-82913.Is there some kind of pricing for Longhorn or am i asking wrong question since longhorn is in the end only a distributed microservices app and still uses the underlying node’s storage is that correct?
I just bought the Rancher deep dive book and reading the Longhorn chapters in it 🙂
I am working on a client project though who is looking to move away from Longhorn because it is expensive and not effectively utilized plus there is no need for some of the apps to be having high availability and redundancy which comes OOB with Longhorn AFAIK

04/28/2023, 10:55 PMI’m just a developer, I don’t know anything about support pricing. Everything we do is all Apache licensed and free to use if you don’t want support so “expensive” is an interesting argument.
