If you could just adjust this PR to update doc/cephadm/client-setup.rst or similar instead, that would be great. We plan to delete the ceph-deploy section of the docs entirely Real Soon Now. > We typically don't need to do a full-blown install on the clients, so > being able to install just the minimum packages needed and do a minimal > conf/keyring setup would be nice. > > Does this make sense?

With cephadm, you can do this with # curl .... # sudo ./cephadm add-repo --release octopus # sudo ./cephadm install ceph-common without having to think about which distro you're using. Eventually we might want to teach cephadm how to manage the host-side packages on certain hosts so that it keeps ceph.conf and client package(s) up to date, but that needs some design thinking first... until then, having simple docs would be great! sage
