Much of the time the second part is not standard (just deployed a Harbor service, upgrade is quite simple but I have to know how to do it as it's speciffic, maintenance would be much easier if it was packaged in Debian). I won't say it's more difficult, but it will be more diverse and complex. > > - Container image quality and security support quality, that will vary from upstream to upstream. You have to research each of them to know were they stand. A distro (specially a good one like Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL or SUSE) has known, quality security support for the repositories. They will even fix issues not fixed by upstream (o backport them to distro's version...). This is more an upstream vs distro issue, really. > > About debugging issues reported with Ceph containers, I think those are things waiting for a fix: why are logs writen in container image (or an ephemeral volume, I don't know really how is that done right now) instead of an external name volume o a local mapped dir in /var/log/ceph ? You could find the logs with “journalctl” outside of containers. > All that said, I think that it makes sense for an upstream project like Ceph, to distribute container images, as it is the most generic way to distribute (you can deploy on any system/distro supporting container images) and eases development. But only distributing container images could make more users depend on third party distribution (global or specific distros), which would delay feeback/bugreport to upstream. > > Cheers and thanks for the great work! > > Eneko Lacunza > Zuzendari teknikoa | Director técnico > Binovo IT Human Project > > Tel. +34 943 569 206 | https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.binovo.es%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7Ce9fd782948fc4ed9160a08d9275fe158%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637584115021099979%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=npfYsR5uxQiLoMOMaDELSO0uh4%2Fx%2Bj02dMMkBrSA2G0%3D&reserved=0 > Astigarragako Bidea, 2 - 2º izda.
