We will talk about what HacktoberFest is and how to contribute. The HacktoberFest 2021 is a really good way to get into open source, boost your CV and help out your fellow programmers.

In this video, we talk about how to set up a Ceph cache pool and tier your cache in order to improve read and writes. There is a lot of cache settings that we could cover but I will talk about the most important values you can set on a pool to cache your data […]

We look into how to setup kubernetes easily on one machine and then get cephfs mounted into a pod. Using ceph you could balance workloads or share resources easily in your kubernetes cluster. Git repository ceph-kubernetes An example of how to setup ceph mounting on a kubernetes cluster. Ceph Packages First up after you have […]

I wanted to try out the newly released Debian version of Bullseye for my Ceph cluster, so I updated one of my hosts, which, in hindsight, might have been a bit too early. Reseting a Ceph Host after OS crash or failed update Preparing cluster First you need to set the cluster into a noout […]

Keeping track of your disks in a Ceph cluster is important so you could replace them in time before data loss. In this video we look into how to use SMART data to run a machine learning prediction in order predict when a disk fails. SmartMonTools is used locally to fetch the data. The data […]

We will look into the Ceph dashboard and the different metrics you can find there. Then we will configure Prometheus Alertmanager to get timely alerts from the metrics in your Ceph Cluster.
