This builds a container based on centos:7 and installs the ceph Jewel binary. We can then expose the ceph command inside the container to the shell using a simple shell function. See installation instruction below.
Why?: This allows us to run the ceph command for example on macOS or any other not officially supported platform.
- Install Docker (https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/download)
- Copy the following function to your
~/.bashrc:
function ceph() {
docker run -ti --rm -v $PWD:/etc/ceph/ mazebuhu/ceph-jewel-docker-cmd ceph "$@"
}
Put your ceph.conf and user keyring into the current working directory. (Note: The current working directory will be mapped inside the container as /etc/ceph/)
- Verify that it works:
ceph -v
