I think it is actually simpler than ceph-deploy. The package postinst script can just do the setup steps to create the daemons since it is all on the local machine. > I just wonder if it’s worth investing into a RGW with ceph-deploy and > then just write a bash script that wraps up everything on a single > setup. Independently, it would be great to add rgw support for ceph-deploy since that is one of the more difficult pieces to set up. But I think the ceph-standalone piece is about making a simple, prescriptive version of vstart.sh that deploys 1 mon, 1 mds, and maybe 2 osds (or something like that; suggestions welcome!) and wrapping it in a deb/rpm. sage > > What do you think? > > Cheers. > –––– > Sébastien Han > Cloud Engineer > > "Always give 100%.
