Ceph Octopus / Debian bullseye

[lhall]

Hi,

I have a Ceph cluster which I need to upgrade to Pacific shortly. There's about 400+ PVE VMs running on top of this storage via an rbd connection, the setup is not hyper-converged with Proxmox though.

I'd want to upgrade the Debian OS on the Ceph machines to bullseye before running the actual Ceph upgrades but this requires Ceph Octopus packages for bullseye or running the buster packages which I'm not keen on doing. My question is, as there are no official Ceph Octopus packages for Debian bullseye available, would I be ok to use the Proxmox sources at

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-octopus bullseye test

and install bullseye packages with 15.2.16-pve1 over the current buster 15.2.16-1~bpo10+1 ones?

Has Proxmox done anything in the build of these packages which deviates from the main Ceph builds?

Thanks in advance.

you can look for yourself, but the delta is usually rather small:

Thanks Fabian, that looks good to me. Just some minor packaging tweaks is all I can see.
