💡 Philosophy

Deploying and operating a Ceph cluster is complex because Ceph is designed to be a general-purpose storage solution. This is a significant overhead for small Ceph clusters. MicroCeph solves this by being opinionated and focused on the small scale. With MicroCeph, deploying and operating a Ceph cluster is as easy as a Snap!

🎯 Features

  • Quick and consistent deployment with minimal overhead
  • Single-command operations (for bootstrapping, adding OSDs, service enablement, etc)
  • Isolated from the host and upgrade-friendly
  • Built-in clustering so you don't have to worry about it!

⚡️Quickstart

The below commands will set you up with a testing environment on a single machine using file-backed OSDs - you'll need about 15 GiB of available space on your root drive:

sudo snap install microceph --channel quincy/edge
sudo snap refresh --hold microceph
sudo microceph cluster bootstrap
sudo microceph disk add loop,4G,3
sudo ceph status

You're done!

You can remove everything cleanly with:

sudo snap remove microceph
