        @hoerup Hi, I can't remember too much to be honest.

        I created a Debian 10 VM with 20GB disk, set up all the stuff that needed to be common for the Ceph pool pretty much following the Ceph documentation using the cephadm method - so Docker etc. This would be my 'Ceph admin VM'

        Once that was all sorted I cloned the VM 3 times, for my actual Ceph pool and changed the hostname and static IP etc. I've got 3 hosts with Supermicro boards that have two SATA controllers on board, so on each one I passed though one of the controllers to the Ceph VM and then just deployed Ceph and followed the documentation. The only issues I ran into and any other tips are in the other post I linked to. Now Ceph is all containerised it all seams a bit too easy! Hope they're not my famous last words!! 😖 It does like a lot of RAM, so I've reduced the OSD limits down a bit and its fine for me.

        Cheers.
