I've tried installing ceph, but i instantly just got a "Got Timeout 500". I tried deleting it alltogether with these commands I found on this forum:
rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/ceph*
killall -9 ceph-mon ceph-mgr ceph-mds
rm -rf /var/lib/ceph/mon/ /var/lib/ceph/mgr/ /var/lib/ceph/mds/
pveceph purge
apt -y purge ceph-mon ceph-osd ceph-mgr ceph-mds
rm /etc/init.d/ceph
for i in $(apt search ceph | grep installed | awk -F/ '{print $1}'); do apt reinstall $i; done
dpkg-reconfigure ceph-base
dpkg-reconfigure ceph-mds
dpkg-reconfigure ceph-common
dpkg-reconfigure ceph-fuse
for i in $(apt search ceph | grep installed | awk -F/ '{print $1}'); do apt reinstall $i; done
Going back to GUI to try and install it, it just gives me errors everywhere:
HINT: The no-subscription repository is not the best choice for production setups.
Proxmox recommends using the enterprise repository with a valid subscription.

Proxmox Ceph Fix & Downgrade Guide
Problem:
Ceph 19.x was installed via incorrect repos (Debian or wrong Proxmox version), causing:
- GUI to break or not detect Ceph
- `apt` dependency hell
- Inconsistent `ceph --version` and `pveceph` status
Goal:
Downgrade to Ceph 17.2.8-pve2 and restore proper integration with Proxmox.
---
1. **Clean up conflicting Ceph 19.x packages**
Forcefully purge everything related to Ceph:
```
dpkg --purge --force-all ceph-base ceph-common ceph-fuse libcephfs2 librados2 librados2-perl libradosstriper1 librbd1 librgw2 \ python3-ceph-argparse python3-ceph-common python3-cephfs python3-rados python3-rbd python3-rgw`
```
Also remove leftover config/data:
`rm -rf /etc/ceph /var/lib/ceph /var/log/ceph /usr/lib/ceph`
---
. **Fix your APT sources**
Ensure you have only one line for Ceph **from Proxmox**, and **no conflicting Ceph repo in `/etc/apt/sources.list`**.
### ➤ Clean `/etc/apt/sources.list`:
`nano /etc/apt/sources.list`
Make sure it only contains:
```
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
```
Create `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list`:
`echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-quincy bookworm no-subscription" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list`
`apt clean apt update`
---
3. Fixing broken packages
`apt --fix-broken install`
If that doesn’t resolve anything, skip to the full install step.
---
4. **Install Ceph 17.2.8-pve2 and all dependencies**
Use **a single install command** to avoid dependency resolution failures:
`apt install \ ceph=17.2.8-pve2 ceph-common=17.2.8-pve2 ceph-base=17.2.8-pve2 ceph-fuse=17.2.8-pve2 \ ceph-mgr=17.2.8-pve2 ceph-mon=17.2.8-pve2 ceph-osd=17.2.8-pve2 ceph-volume=17.2.8-pve2 \ librados2=17.2.8-pve2 libradosstriper1=17.2.8-pve2 librbd1=17.2.8-pve2 librgw2=17.2.8-pve2 \ libcephfs2=17.2.8-pve2 librados2-perl=1.4.0 python3-ceph-argparse=17.2.8-pve2 \ python3-ceph-common=17.2.8-pve2 python3-cephfs=17.2.8-pve2 python3-rados=17.2.8-pve2 \ python3-rbd=17.2.8-pve2 python3-rgw=17.2.8-pve2 ceph-mgr-modules-core=17.2.8-pve2 \ libsqlite3-mod-ceph=17.2.8-pve2`
---
5. **Install missing base packages**
Some required by Ceph MGR modules:
`apt install sudo python3-bcrypt python3-natsort python3-pecan python3-werkzeug libpython3.11 python3.11`
Also try:
`apt install python3-cherrypy3`
---
6. **Verify install**
`ceph --version # should return 17.2.8-pve2
rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/ceph*
killall -9 ceph-mon ceph-mgr ceph-mds
rm -rf /var/lib/ceph/mon/ /var/lib/ceph/mgr/ /var/lib/ceph/mds/
