Ceph is an open-source, scalable, and distributed storage system. It provides unified storage for applications, data, and services, with reliable performance and high availability. In this tutorial, we will install Ceph on Linux Mint, using the official repository from http://ceph.com/.
Before we begin, ensure the following requirements are met:
First, we need to add the Ceph repository to our system. Open a terminal and run the following command to download and import the Ceph GPG key:
wget -q -O- 'https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc' | sudo apt-key add -
Next, add the repository by creating a new file:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list
And adding the following line:
deb https://download.ceph.com/debian-luminous/ $(lsb_release -sc) main
Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, and finally Enter.
Once the repository is added, we can install Ceph by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ceph
This command will update the repository and install the Ceph packages.
To verify that Ceph is installed correctly, run the following command:
ceph --version
This command will display the current version of Ceph.
By default, Ceph comes with a basic configuration file located at /etc/ceph/ceph.conf. We can edit this file as needed to customize the configuration. However, it is recommended to use the ceph-deploy tool for advanced configuration and management of our Ceph cluster.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ceph on Linux Mint Latest. You can now start using Ceph to store and manage your data. For more information on how to use Ceph, please visit the official documentation at http://docs.ceph.com/.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
