Is there a lightweight storage solution that makes shared storage easy without needing a NAS? I’m looking for something that isn’t necessarily highly available. I’m looking to be able to shift services around without having the complexity and overhead of Ceph. My current option is Unison which isn’t ideal but workable.
NFS is still a thing.
I use NFS for docker nodes, works a treat and rock solid.
Me too. I don’t know what OP means by “distributed” but “not highly available” and at the same time “rsync or unison is enough”, “but not NFS”.
This is somehow contradicting itself.

Gluster? I don’t know much about it. As someone else asked, how much data are you talking about? Do you need a file store (mutable files), or are you ok with an object store (immutable)?
Gluster is abandoned for the most part
I’m mostly looking for a easy way to move files between VMs automatically when I move containers. I think it should be possible with scripting and rsync/unison
