Question on Ceph Version within Rook
reefland opened this issue · comments
If you have time for a question... looking at your Rook-Ceph cluster deployment, I don't see how you control the version of Ceph installed as Rook supports 17.x and 18.x.
I've noticed my Ceph version stays at 17.2.6 while Rook has progressed from v1.10.x, v11.x and now v12.x. I see Ceph version 17.2.7 and 18.2.1 are available on Quay(https://quay.io/repository/ceph/ceph?tab=tags) but Renovate doesn't see them.
The Rook Cluster manifest supports 2 image locations, within: toolbox: and cephClusterSpec.cephVersion.
Being that Ceph uses version numbers like v17.2.7-20240103 it seems to require some Renovate trickery to understand the version and date combination. I got renovate to do a PR for v17.2.6-20231027 -> v17.2.7-20231027 but it should have found v17.2.7-20240103.
I am using the default Ceph version packaged with Rook, but you are free to upgrade to v18. I did last month but noticed some problems so I needed to rebuild my cluster back to v17. This comment is where I upgradede to v18: 9b6d00b
For the renovate issue, I wouldn't pin to the date version, just use v18.2.1 and renovate should pick it up.
The "default Ceph version" is not clear. My default upon original install is 17.2.6 but when I review the projects default helm values it is currently 18.2.1.
I plan on keeping 17.x for a few more months, its EOL in June 2024. I'll set the non-date version for now, thanks for the response.
You are looking at an unreleased version of the helm chart. Looks like they are getting ready to release it.
