Goutham Pacha Ravi 784716d949 Drop support for package based installation of Ceph
This mode of deployment isn't supported by the Ceph
community, and was always a chimera that we were
feeding/maintaining.

Ceph's tool of choice to bootstrap and install a ceph
cluster is by using the Ceph Orchestrator (via the
cephadm tool).

We're also cleaning up the old/unused and poorly tested
"CONTAINERIZED_CEPH". When using ceph orchestrator,
ceph daemons are run within podman containers on the
devstack host.

Devstack Ceph Plugin
====================
.. image:: https://governance.openstack.org/tc/badges/devstack-plugin-ceph.svg
:target: https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/tags/index.html
Overview
--------
Devstack plugin to configure Ceph as the storage backend for openstack
services
As part of ``stack.sh``:
- Creates a Ceph cluster for use with openstack services using Ceph orchestrator
- Configures Ceph as the storage backend for Cinder, Cinder Backup,
Nova, Manila, and Glance services
- (Optionally) Sets up & configures Rados gateway (aka rgw or radosgw)
as a Swift endpoint with Keystone integration. Set ``ENABLE_CEPH_RGW=True``
in your ``localrc``
- Supports Ceph cluster running local or remote to openstack services
As part of ``unstack.sh`` \| ``clean.sh``:
- Tears down the Ceph cluster and its related services
Usage
-----
- To get started quickly, just enable the plugin in your
``local.conf``:
``enable_plugin devstack-plugin-ceph https://opendev.org/openstack/devstack-plugin-ceph``
Run ``stack.sh`` in your devstack tree and boom! You're good to go.
- Ceph is setup as the default storage backend for Cinder, Cinder
Backup, Glance, Manila and Nova services. You have the ability to control
each of the enabled services with the following configuration in your
``local.conf``:
::
ENABLE_CEPH_CINDER=True # ceph backend for cinder
ENABLE_CEPH_GLANCE=True # store images in ceph
ENABLE_CEPH_C_BAK=True # backup volumes to ceph
ENABLE_CEPH_NOVA=True # allow nova to use ceph resources
ENABLE_CEPH_MANILA=True # allow manila to use CephFS as backend (Native CephFS or CephFS via NFS)
Change any of the above lines to ``False`` to disable that feature
specifically.
Manila's CephFS Native driver that supports native Ceph protocol is enabled by
default. To use CephFS NFS-Ganesha driver that supports NFS protocol add
the setting:
::
MANILA_CEPH_DRIVER=cephfsnfs
If you'd like to use a standalone NFS Ganesha service in place of ceph orchestrator
deployed ``ceph-nfs`` service, set:
::
CEPHADM_DEPLOY_NFS=False
Make sure that the manila plugin is enabled before devstack-plugin-ceph
in the ``local.conf`` file.
- Then run ``stack.sh`` and wait for the *magic* to happen :)
Known Issues / Limitations
--------------------------
- Rados Gateway with Keystone for Swift - works on Ubuntu only
- Tempest test failures when using RGW as swift endpoint
- Tempest fails due to verify-tempest-config erroring out, when using
RGW as swift endpoint
