proxmox and ceph

[vdtoorn]

Dear Proxmox community,

I have a question concerning proxmox ceph storage. On the proxmox storage documentation, it is stated that ceph is currently not supported on the same nodes, so you'd have to set up a separate ceph cluster.
Could somebody explain to why this can't be done, and if this will be possible in the future? The reason is, I have some repurposed servers with >10T storage each and dual 4-core processors with loads of memory and would like to re-target them as a local cloud, preferably using proxmox and ceph.

Thanks!

You can do this, but it is not recommended (and thus not supported).
