v1: original rook manifests

 git clone https://github.com/rook/rook.git
cd rook/cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph
kubectl apply  -f crds.yaml -f common.yaml
kubectl apply  -f operator.yaml
kubectl get -n rook-ceph pods --watch
kubectl apply -f cluster.yaml
kubectl apply -f csi/rbd/storageclass.yaml
kubectl apply -f toolbox.yaml

v2 with included manifests

• Patched for IPv6 support
• Including RBD support
• Including CephFS support

for yaml in crds common operator cluster storageclass-cephfs storageclass-rbd toolbox; do
    kubectl apply -f ${yaml}.yaml
done

Deleting (in case of teardown):

for yaml in crds common operator cluster storageclass-cephfs storageclass-rbd toolbox; do
    kubectl delete -f ${yaml}.yaml
done

v3 via helm

helm repo add rook-release https://charts.rook.io/release
helm repo update
helm install --create-namespace --namespace rook-ceph rook-ceph rook-release/rook-ceph
helm install --create-namespace --namespace rook-ceph rook-ceph-cluster \
   --set operatorNamespace=rook-ceph rook-release/rook-ceph-cluster -f rook/values.yaml

Debugging / ceph toolbox

kubectl -n rook-ceph exec -it deploy/rook-ceph-tools -- bash

Creating a sample RBD device / PVC

kubectl apply -f pvc.yaml

Checks:

kubectl get pvc
kubectl describe pvc

kubectl get pv
kubectl describe pv

Digging into ceph, seeing the actual image:

DefaultStorageClass

By default none of the created storage classes are the "default" of the cluster. So we need to set one of them, if persistentvolumeclaims should be deployed:

[21:22] server47.place7:~/ungleich-k8s/rook# kubectl patch storageclass rook-ceph-block -p '{"metadata": {"annotations":{"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class":"true"}}}'

Deleting in case rook gets stuck

• Need to manually go through the list, the patching of finalizersdoes not work reliable

Especially these:

  finalizers:
  - cephblockpool.ceph.rook.io

Other flux related problems

• The host is not cleared / old /var/lib/rook is persisting

Troubleshooting: PVC stuck pending, no csi-{cephfs,rbd}provisioner-plugin pod in rook-ceph namespace

2021-07-31: it seems that the provisioner plugin tend to silently die. Restarting the rook-ceph-operator deployment will get them back up:

kubectl rollout restart deployment/rook-ceph-operator -n rook-ceph
