Client setup

This appendix shows how to set up a test client host that can be used for deployment verification purposes in the Storage types and LXD integration sections.

The client is created within the Juju model used by the given deployment. Begin by deploying the ubuntu application (and giving it an application name of ‘ceph-client’):

juju deploy ubuntu ceph-client

Generate a minimal ceph.conf file, make a local copy, and transfer it to the client:

juju ssh ceph-mon/0 sudo ceph config generate-minimal-conf | tee ceph.conf
juju scp ceph.conf ceph-client/0:

Connect to the client:

juju ssh ceph-client/0

On the client host,

Install the required software, put the ceph.conf file in place, and set up the correct permissions:

sudo apt install -y ceph-common
sudo mv ~ubuntu/ceph.conf /etc/ceph
sudo chmod 644 /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
sudo chown root: /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
