Dear all, I have created a stand alone local library for deploying ceph. https://github.com/oms4suse/python-ceph-cfg Already it provides much of the functionality of ceph-deploy. Front ends: This library already has a salt front end as an execution module: https://github.com/oms4suse/sesceph I intend to provide a CLI front end for this library if people are interested, this would provide an alternative to ceph-deploy for zero infrastructure installs. Currently it handles keyrings, mon osd, rgw and mds entities, and runs on SUSE SLE12, and OpenSUSE LEAP as well as Centos/Scientific Linux 7. Potential CLI front end: If I develop the CLI front end I am considering that it would differ from ceph deploy in 4 main ways: (0) Target reuse as a non interactive installer. (1) It would configure ceph based on a configuration rather than command line arguments. (2) Configure the cluster in one operation. (3) be run on each node, rather than doing remote operations, outside the remote operations that are provided by ceph CLI tools. But lets not get ahead of ourselves talking about a CLI front end to python-ceph-cfg. Current status of my work: This library is a spin off from my work on salt. I am working on a long term project to make a ceph deployment and management framework for salt, where we hope to manage day to day operations as well as just deployment. Currently we have only have salt based deployment of ceph using this library, but this simple file will allow a complete cluster to be deployed: https://github.com/oms4suse/sesceph/blob/master/examples/cluster_buildup.sls My bosses are keen for me to upstream my work to the ceph project rather than the salt project, and so for a first stage I am hoping to put this library into the ceph project. What are the stages to achieve moving this repo into the ceph project?
