#### OpenStack Manila data migration and copy service

This repository contains the source for the OpenStack Manila Data snap.

The **manila-data** daemon is part of OpenStack Manila (<https://docs.openstack.org/manila/latest/>), the Shared Filesystems service. It handles data-intensive operations such as:

* **Share migration** — both driver-assisted and host-assisted migration of data between share backends.
* **Share creation from snapshots** — copying data when creating a new share from an existing snapshot requires a data transfer.

The snap packages the upstream `manila-data` binary together with Ceph (`ceph-common`) and NFS support, manages its configuration files via Jinja2 templating, and runs the service as a strictly-confined snap daemon.

This snap is designed to be used with a deployed OpenStack control plane such as delivered by Sunbeam (<https://canonical-openstack.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/how-to/features/shared-filesystem/>).

**Getting Started**

**Installation**

Install the snap from the Snap Store:

```
sudo snap install manila-data
```

**Required configuration**

The service will not start until the database and message queue connections are provided:

```
sudo snap set manila-data \
    database.url=mysql+pymysql://manila:password@10.152.183.210/manila

sudo snap set manila-data \
    rabbitmq.url=rabbit://manila:supersecure@10.152.183.212:5672/openstack
```

Once both values are set the `configure` hook will render the configuration files and start (or restart) the `manila-data` daemon automatically.

**Verifying the service**

```
sudo snap services manila-data
```

Logs are written to syslog. You can also inspect the snap-specific log:

```
sudo snap logs manila-data
```

**Configuration Reference**

All options are set with `snap set manila-data <key>=<value>` and read with `snap get manila-data <key>`.

**database**

* `database.url` — Full SQLAlchemy connection URL to the Manila database (e.g. `mysql+pymysql://user:pass@host/manila`)

**rabbitmq**

* `rabbitmq.url` — Full connection URL to the RabbitMQ broker (e.g. `rabbit://user:pass@host:5672/openstack`)

**settings**

* `settings.debug` (default: `false`) — Enable debug-level logging
* `settings.enable-telemetry-notifications` (default: `false`) — Enable Oslo messaging notifications for telemetry (Ceilometer)

**Snap Interfaces**

The snap uses the following interfaces (<https://snapcraft.io/docs/supported-interfaces>):

* **network** — Outbound network access (database, RabbitMQ)
* **network-bind** — Listen for incoming connections
* **mount-observe** — Observe mount points on the host
* **nfs-mount** — Mount and unmount NFS shares
