When you say cephadm, do you mean all the commands under “ceph orch” / enabling the cephadm mgr module, without deploying the containers? If so then I don’t think so. Cephadm assumes it is handling containers. I can go into more detail if this is the case. On Wed, Nov 19, 2025 at 10:18 PM Adrian Sevcenco <Adrian.Sevcenco@cern.ch> wrote:
Hi! Is there any possibility to use cephadm without the container based tooling? (so to use bare-metal, with the packages directly installed on the machine)
If not, is there something technical that prevents it to happen or just that there is a policy that container based deployment is the only best way to do it therefore cephadm will only use it this way?
I ask this in the context of finding out that ceph-ansible is deprecated and that it should not be used, but i still need to use ansible for management and i think (so without factual experience) that bare metal services would be easier to manage after doing by hand deployment with cephadm
