[SOLVED] How can i install the ceph dashboard in proxmox 6

[fxandrei]

So i upgraded from proxmox 5.4 to proxmox 6.
Everything is ok.

But how can i see the new ceph dashboard.

I get an error if i try to enable the dashboard :
ceph mgr module enable dashboard
Error ENOENT: all mgr daemons do not support module 'dashboard', pass --force to force enablement


Now ive seen this bellow but not sure if should try it :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56696819/ceph-nautilus-how-to-enable-ceph-mgr-dashboard


Any thoughts ?

So i went ahead and did it. I ran this on all nodes :
apt-get install ceph-mgr-dashboard

Then ran this on one of the hosts :
ceph mgr module enable dashboard
ceph dashboard create-self-signed-cert
ceph dashboard ac-user-create <username> <pass> administrator

And that was it.
It works

Did you run into any issues while using the dashboard with pveceph?

 

[fxandrei]

Well not really, but i havent been really using it. Installed it, checked it out a bit, and that it. Everything i need is already in the proxmox gui, and for everything i just use the cli commands.

Why, did you have problems ?

No problems yet, I just wanted to make sure there were no conflicts before proceeding further. The dashboard gives us a way to separate management roles.

Hi,
Has anyone tried this recently? How was this done when this guide describes using RPMs instead of DEBs? I went poking around and found packages for Debian Buster but I don't want to add this repository and screw something else up.

I don't think it's an issue of using the native CEPH Dashboard just to look at the performance metrics. There's even instructions on how to work with Grafana dashboards. Long as you don't use CEPH Dashboard to make any configuration changes or change any settings you should be ok. I'd use Proxmox GUI for that.

The CEPH Dashboard really gives you the in-deph info on what is going with with CEPH. More info what ProxMox GUI can give you.

You can create a read-only account for just to look at the performance graphs.

The first link at stackoverflow uses rpm, but thats not the point.

You cannot use rpm's if using proxmox. This is on debian, and you already have all the repos needed (if you have proxmox and ceph installed).

You just need to run the commands ive put in my second post in this thread. These:

It's been a while, but it seems that all is not well with newer versions of ceph mgr and this...

I get this:

FT1-NodeA:~# apt-get install ceph-mgr-dashboard

huh. this may not only be a Proxmox thing. https://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-users/msg73008.html
also, do it on all nodes in the cluster https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/c...ng-after-update-to-proxmox-7-from-6-4.104911/ and then restart the mgrs?

Ah, I found the solution.
