Howdy,

One of the things I've wanted to try (for a while now) is ceph. I remember looking at it a year or two ago and decided at the time that it was complicated to setup and install, and I would need to find time to figure it out. So it was always put on the back burner and never got there.

I wanted to try it out, because I use docker (pretty much for everything) in swarm mode - with containers floating between 3 hosts. Persistent cluster storage in this config is pretty much a must - and things are so much easier if you have it.

I recently watched a NetworkChuck video (never watched him before, but some how I got to watch one of his videos on ceph) and my image of ceph changed - didnt seem it was complicated to install at all.

So this last week, I spun up ceph on my 3 hosts and pretty impressed by it. I've moved all my container workloads to store their data on it, so fingers crossed I dont have any serious problems (because I'm too young on knowledge to know how to fix it).

Anyway, I recall that ceph is also available on proxmox, and I think a few of you run it? Just curious on how well its running and any gotchas to be aware of.
