How-to guides

This section contains guides to help you manage you have your already up and running Ceph cluster, taking you through the complete node lifecycle.

Installing and initialising Ceph

Perform a general install of Charmed Ceph access the web UI.

Managing your cluster

Multi-site operations

Here we discuss setting up RADOS Gateway multi-site replication in a charmed Ceph deployment. Native replication between ceph-radosgw applications is supported via juju relations. By default, both primary and secondary RGW applications accept write operations (i.e. active-active replication is configured).
