Hi Alan, We use containers deployed by the orchestrator and cephadm on a bare-metal nodes, but this is not important for PetaSAN since it doesn't manage our external cluster. I synthesized my notes here [1] this week. If you follow the guide, please share your experience and feel free to open an issue if you see any points that could be improved. Best regards, Frédéric.
