How to use ceph inside a vm

[fxandrei]

So i have been doing a lot of tests with proxmox and ceph.
Im now thinking about a certain case, is it posible to use the ceph pools created inside a vm ? Or maybe a ceph fs ?
How should i go about it withought breaking everything ?

In general it is the same thing as for any ceph client. The VM needs to have access to the ceph public network.

Yeah, it kind of hit me after i posted the thread. The vm would actually need to acces the same network of the ceph cluster, and i dont think this would be safe.
Anyone that would have access to this vm would have access to the ceph network.
