Installation methods
|
||
|
|
====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following are all of the available options for the installing Ceph through different channels.
|
||
|
|
We support 3 main installation methods, all managed by the ``ceph_origin`` variable:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- ``repository``: means that you will get ceph installed through a new repository. Later below choose between ``community``, ``rhcs`` or ``dev``. These options will be exposed through the ``ceph_repository`` variable.
|
||
|
|
- ``distro``: means that no separate repo file will be added and you will get whatever version of Ceph is included in your Linux distro.
|
||
|
|
- ``local``: means that the ceph binaries will be copied over from the local machine (not well tested, use at your own risk)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Origin: Repository
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If ``ceph_origin`` is set to ``repository``, you now have the choice between a couple of repositories controlled by the ``ceph_repository`` option:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- ``community``: fetches packages from http://download.ceph.com, the official community Ceph repositories
|
||
|
|
- ``rhcs``: means you are a Red Hat customer, additionally you will have to select a repository type through ``ceph_repository_type`` (``cdn`` or ``iso``)
|
||
|
|
- ``dev``: fetches packages from shaman, a gitbuilder based package system
|
||
|
|
- ``uca``: fetches packages from Ubuntu Cloud Archive
|
||
|
|
- ``custom``: fetches packages from a specific repository
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Community repository
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If ``ceph_repository`` is set to ``community``, packages you will be by default installed from http://download.ceph.com, this can be changed by tweaking ``ceph_mirror``.
|
||
|
|
Final step is to select which Ceph release you want to install, for this you have to set ``ceph_stable_release`` accordingly.
|
||
|
|
For example, ``ceph_stable_release: luminous``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RHCS repository
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RHCS is the Red Hat Ceph Storage product from Red Hat, the enterprise version of Ceph.
|
||
|
|
If ``ceph_repository`` is set to ``rhcs``, packages you will be installed from Red Hat sources.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally you will have to select a repository type through ``ceph_repository_type``, it can be ``cdn`` or ``iso``.
|
||
|
|
To choose a specific version of RHCS you can set the ``ceph_rhcs_version`` variable accordingly, e.g: ``ceph_rhcs_version: 2``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
UCA repository
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If ``ceph_repository`` is set to ``uca``, packages you will be by default installed from http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu, this can be changed by tweaking ``ceph_stable_repo_uca``.
|
||
|
|
You can also decide which OpenStack version the Ceph packages should come from by tweaking ``ceph_stable_openstack_release_uca``.
|
||
|
|
For example, ``ceph_stable_openstack_release_uca: liberty``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dev repository
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If ``ceph_repository`` is set to ``dev``, packages you will be by default installed from https://shaman.ceph.com/, this can not be tweaked.
|
||
|
|
You can obviously decide which branch to install with the help of ``ceph_dev_branch`` (defaults to 'master').
|
||
|
|
Additionally, you can specify a SHA1 with ``ceph_dev_sha1``, defaults to 'latest' (as in latest built).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Custom repository
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If ``ceph_repository`` is set to ``custom``, packages you will be by default installed from a desired repository.
|
||
|
|
This repository is specifie with ``ceph_custom_repo``, e.g: ``ceph_custom_repo: https://server.domain.com/ceph-custom-repo``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Origin: Distro
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If ``ceph_origin`` is set to ``distro``, no separate repo file will be added and you will get whatever version of Ceph is included in your Linux distro.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Origin: Local
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If ``ceph_origin`` is set to ``local``, the ceph binaries will be copied over from the local machine (not well tested, use at your own risk)
