ceph-ansible
============

Ansible playbook for Ceph!

Clone me:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible.git
cp vagrant_variables.yml.sample vagrant_variables.yml
```

## What does it do?

General support for:

* Monitors
* OSDs
* MDSs
* RGW

More details:

* Authentication (cephx), this can be disabled.
* Supports cluster public and private network.
* Monitors deployment. You can easily start with one monitor and then progressively add new nodes. So can deploy one monitor for testing purpose. For production, I recommend to always use an odd number of monitors, 3 tends to be the standard.
* Object Storage Daemons. Like the monitors you can start with a certain amount of nodes and then grow this number. The playbook either supports a dedicated device for storing the journal or both journal and OSD data on the same device (using a tiny partition at the beginning of the device).
* Metadata daemons.
* Collocation. The playbook supports collocating Monitors, OSDs and MDSs on the same machine.
* The playbook was validated on Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and CentOS 6.4.
* Tested on Ceph Dumpling and Emperor.
* A rolling upgrade playbook was written, an upgrade from Dumpling to Emperor was performed and worked.


## Setup with Vagrant

Run your virtual machines:

```bash
$ vagrant up

rgw                        : ok=20   changed=17   unreachable=0    failed=0
```

Check the status:

```bash
$ vagrant ssh mon0 -c "sudo ceph -s"
    cluster 4a158d27-f750-41d5-9e7f-26ce4c9d2d45

```

To re-run the Ansible provisioning scripts:

```bash
$ vagrant provision
```

## Specifying fsid and secret key in production

The Vagrantfile specifies an fsid for the cluster and a secret key for the
monitor. If using these playbooks in production, you must generate your own `fsid`
in `group_vars/all` and `monitor_secret` in `group_vars/mons`. Those files contain
information about how to generate appropriate values for these variables.
