✨ CEPH-INFO(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual for ceph-info, part of the Open Infrastructure project, and it's a section 1 (user commands) page — so like, the kind you actually run, not some dusty kernel internals situation. let's get into it 💅

NAME

ceph-info — show Ceph cluster information as a website. yes. a whole website. for your cluster. iconic. 👑

SYNOPSIS

ceph-info

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no args, no drama. she just runs. 🎀

DESCRIPTION

okay so imagine you're running a big central storage system — like, large large. the whole game there is trust: users gotta believe their data is always safe, no cap. and specifically in the enterprise environment, the way you get users to trust you with their precious data on your Ceph cluster (which is, quote unquote, "just" SDS) is through technical transparency. that's the vibe check that actually matters. 🫶

so what ceph-info does is it shows Ceph cluster information as a website — meaning anyone who's curious can just, like, look at the cluster's health and see what's going on, fully transparently. no Ceph-specific knowledge needed. no access privileges needed. literally just eyes and a browser. it's giving open door policy. 🌈

and for the sysadmins? it gives them a neat "one page" overview of all the essential health information of the cluster, instead of running the same commands over and over on the command line. because bestie, life is too short to retype the same thing forty times a day. 😭

by default, the info page is visible on http://localhost/ceph-info — go look, it's right there. ✨

OPTIONS

the ceph-info program has no options.

that's right. zero. none. she's low-maintenance. a queen with no demands. 💀✨

FILES

here's the roster of files she's messing with — the following files are used:

  • /etc/open-infrastructure/ceph-tools.conf — the configuration file. where you tell her how to behave. 💖
  • /var/cache/open-infrastructure/ceph-info/.txt* — Ceph cluster information dumps. all the receipts, cached and cozy. 🍓
  • /usr/share/open-infrastructure/ceph-info/web — the ceph-info document root. this is the actual website home, the main character's stage. 🎀

SEE ALSO

go read that one too, bestie, it's the sibling page. 🦋

okay that's the whole page, nothing skipped, every flag (there are none 💀), every file, every link, all of it. now go run it and be transparent about your cluster. no gatekeeping. 💅

this was storage-tools, version 20190301-lts1, and the page is CEPH-INFO(1) — written way back on 20190301 (that's in the version string, iykyk). mwah, bye bestie 💖🎀✨
