Functionalities

Users can build, develop and test Ceph inside a Docker container without being forced to install or configure anything on their own machine.
Visual Studio Code can take care of automatically download and build a developer Docker image.
Host's user will match UID and GID with the user inside the container.
This ensures that every modification from inside the container will be completely transparent from the host's perspective.
Moreover, host's user ~/.ssh directory will be mounted on the container's user ~/.ssh directory. This is especially convenient if an ssh authentication type is configured to work with GitHub.
From inside the container, users will be able to access the host's Docker engine as if they were just in a regular host's shell.

Build

To build the entire Ceph project simply press: ctrl + shift + b

Debug services

radosgw

The configured radosgw debug setting will use the wd_rgw directory as working directory.
Inside that has been placed a configuration file for the s3cmd S3 client that is already configured for the usage with radosgw.
Examples of commands you can use with that have been placed into s3cmd.notes file.
