Ceph is a unified, distributed storage system that is capable of providing block, object, and file storage. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Ceph on OpenSUSE Latest.
To install Ceph on OpenSUSE, you need to have some dependencies installed. You can install these dependencies by running the following commands:
sudo zypper update && sudo zypper install -y --no-recommends \
ceph-deploy \
ceph-mds \
ceph-mon \
ceph-osd \
ceph-radosgw \
librados2 \
librados2-python \
librados-devel \
librbd1 \
librbd1-python \
librbd-devel \
librgw-devel \
librgw2 \
librgw2-devel \
python-cephfs \
python-rados \
python-rbd \
python-rgw \
python2-protobuf \
python3-cephfs \
python3-rados \
python3-rbd \
python3-rgw \
python3-protobuf
This command installs all the necessary dependencies that are required to run Ceph on OpenSUSE Latest.
Ceph requires a configuration file in order to run. You can use the ceph-deploy tool to generate a configuration file.
To generate a configuration file, run the following command:
ceph-deploy new <ceph-monitor-node>
This command generates a new configuration file on the node where you run it. Replace <ceph-monitor-node> with the hostname of the node that you want to use as a Ceph monitor.
Next, you need to edit the configuration file and add the following lines:
public network = <network-subnet>
cluster network = <network-subnet>
Replace <network-subnet> with the subnet of your network.
After configuring Ceph, you can install the Ceph packages by running the following command on your OpenSUSE Latest node:
sudo zypper update && sudo zypper install -y ceph
This command installs the Ceph packages on your OpenSUSE Latest node.
To deploy Ceph, you need to run the following command:
ceph-deploy install <ceph-monitor-node> <ceph-osd-node1> <ceph-osd-node2> <ceph-osd-node3> ...
Replace <ceph-monitor-node> with the hostname of the node that you want to use as a Ceph monitor, and replace <ceph-osd-node*> with the hostnames of the nodes that you want to use as Ceph OSD hosts.
After running this command, Ceph will be installed and available on your OpenSUSE Latest cluster.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Ceph on OpenSUSE Latest. We hope that this tutorial has been useful for you and that you can now use Ceph for your distributed storage needs.
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!
