Hi Ernesto. Thanks sooo much for the reply. I am actually new to ceph and you are right. I would try that out right now. But please I wanted to know if using a reverse proxy method to map ceph Dashboard to a domain name is the way to go? Lastly, I setup my sub domain name using CloudFlare. Wen I run a dig on the subdomain name I get 2 IP addresses which are not related to the public IP address where my ceph dashboard runs. Is this normal? Because when I ping the subdomain I get the IP address of the instance. Thanks On Mon, 15 Nov 2021, 10:10 Ernesto Puerta, <epuertat@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > What was the error it threw?
