Hello Marc, > - You can use this separate from the commandline? yes, we don't take apart any feature or possible way, but we don't recommend it > - And if I modify something from the commandline, these changes are visible in the webinterface? yes, we just ask Ceph/Linux for it's current state and show it through the frontend (100% restful api). For example if you add a pool via CLI you will see it after <5 seconds. > - I can easily remove/add this webinterface? I mean sometimes you have these tools that just customize the whole environment, that it is difficult to revert it. unfortunately thats more the "hard" part. We are not only a interface, we provide are a complete Ceph Storage solution. We solve the problem with the different versions and the deployment through PXE boot of the systems. You can also test this by simply booting the normally installed system with a running Ceph from our system. However, you should make sure that the versions of Ceph are compatible. Our images include all necessary programs, libraries and kernels. This allows us to control exactly which version is running on the host. Even months after the cluster is started, the exact same image will be executed via PXE boot, if the admin so desires. You can try it and use it for free in a vagrant demo https://croit.io/croit-virtual-demo or as a real installation https://croit.io/croit-production-guide. As an example, just look in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrnzlylidjs to see how we upgrade from Ceph Luminous to Ceph Mimic. -- Martin Verges Managing director Mobile: +49 174 9335695 E-Mail: martin.verges@xxxxxxxx Chat: https://t.me/MartinVerges croit GmbH, Freseniusstr. 31h, 81247 Munich CEO: Martin Verges - VAT-ID: DE310638492 Com. register: Amtsgericht Munich HRB 231263 Web: https://croit.io YouTube: https://goo.gl/PGE1Bx 2018-11-08 11:23 GMT+01:00 Marc Roos <M.Roos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > > Hmmmm interesting maybe, > > - You can use this separate from the commandline? > - And if I modify something from the commandline, these changes are > visible in the webinterface? > - I can easily remove/add this webinterface?
