Hello everyone,
I have a question about Proxmox's Ceph roadmap/feature possibilities.
I understand Proxmox uses its own orchestration that does not use containers for the daemons, so I wanted to ask a "non feature request" question to know if the team is planning to bring the NFS/SMB gateways that Cephadm features onto PVECeph, specially as a value add for HCI deployments.
I've been homelabbing Proxmox ever since the you-know-who acquisition and some customers at my workplace have actually been using it for new small scale setups, but compared to vSAN and Nutanix in HCI deployments I miss the ability to get rid of SOFS for SMB, we like storing the files directly on the storage nodes since they come with built-in HA via native features.
With how much I've been loving Proxmox VE, I feel like a feature like this would allow it to each the lunch of other HCI solutions given how good Ceph itself already is, but I understand this might be very hard to implement because even Ceph's documentation recommends orchestration (I believe they actually mean containers though) for NFS and outright tells you it won't work without cephadm for SMB, so this is more of a letter-to-santa fantasy that I would love to see come true.
