[sent both to ceph-devel and ceph-users lists, as it might be of interest for both audiences] Hi all, This e-mail is just to announce the WIP on backporting dashboard_v2 (http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/mgr/dashboard/) from master to Luminous release. The ultimate goal for this backport is to replace dashboard_v1 in Luminous and provide, **as much as possible**, (see note below) a level of functionality on a par with master's (i. e.: RBD and RGW management, HTTPS support, User Management, Role Based Access Control, Grafana integration, SSO, etc.). NOTE: This will be mostly driven as a best-effort (currently one-army man) task, as long as Luminous is N-2 and backports to Mimic (N-1) have officially ceased. Besides, Luminous lacks some features that Ceph Dashboard v2 exposes. Therefore, the policy to follow for this backport will be: 1.- Backport by cherry-picking individual commits, except for merge (PR) commits that comprise a large amount of commits (e.g.: PR #23271 with 163 commits). 2.A- Do not bring any new functionality from master to Luminous other than dashboard_v2 (commit subject: {mgr,doc,test}/dashboard{,_v2}, paths: {src/pybind/mgr/dashboard, qa/suites/rados/mgr/tasks/dashboard} + building/testing {CMakeLists.txt, ceph.spec.in, vstart.sh, debian/rules, etc.}) 2.B- When dashboard_v2 exposes or relies on some master-only functionality, modify dashboard code in the most minimal way to handle that (e.g.: disable RBD OPERATIONS FEATURE, https://github.com/ceph/ceph/commit/8479a91c4fa45b39ef5cf24a857751de3a5c630f) 3. Add the necessary 'glue' commits to ensure cherry-picked pieces of code work smoothly (e.g.: due to different toolchain versions or supported idioms, like the case of C++17, or other non-functional deps). The first chunk of this backporting is already in PR ready status (https://ceph.com/planet/the-ceph-dashboard-v2-pull-request-is-ready-for-review/, https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/23271, http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/24788). If anyone else wants to contribute either on the dev side, or as test user (I may point you to the corresponding shaman builds), don't hesitate to contact me (Github/IRC user: epuertat). For tracking the progress of this activity or any further questions/suggestions, etc., you are welcome to show up at dashboard daily stand-ups or biweekly sync meetings.
