Proxmox and native (original) Ceph Octopus

[zeuxprox]

Hi,

we are planning to create a Proxmox cluster (8 nodes) for computing and use a native (original) Ceph cluster (Octopus always update to the last version) installed on Debian Buster. Now I have some questions:

1. For Ceph "client" which repository should I use? The original proxomox repository or the repository of Ceph ( deb https://download.ceph.com/debian-octopus/ {codename} main ) ?
2. How can I configure the storage in Proxmox cluster and access to ceph cluster?
3. When I will update Proxmox cluster, could I have some problems?

Thank you very much

We can only support our ceph packages. A pveceph install will take care of installing the Ceph packages from our repository.

How can I configure the storage in Proxmox cluster and access to ceph cluster?

When I will update Proxmox cluster, could I have some problems?

What do you mean by that?

The question is: can I use the ceph native repository? is it will works?

If I will use ceph native repository, when I will update Proxmox, could I have some problems?

You could but we don't support it. This means, the first thing we tell you is to install our packages.
And our packages are almost similar upstream, mostly some cherry-picks that didn't make the cut.

If I will use ceph native repository, when I will update Proxmox, could I have some problems?

As with any software upgrade.
