I have recently made a quincy cluster manual install with RGWs so I will condense what I did to something that can be used for docs later on (I'll leave it to Zac to format and merge). Really short version for you: Install radosgw debs/rpms on the rgw box(es) On one of the mons or a box with admin ceph auth run ceph auth get-or-create client.short-hostname-of-rgw mon 'allow rw' osd 'allow rwx' On each of the rgw box(es) create a ceph-user owned dir, for instance like this install -d -o ceph -g ceph /var/lib/ceph/radosgw/ceph-$(hostname -s) inside this dir, put the key (or the first two lines of it) you got from the above ceph auth get-or-create vi /var/lib/ceph/radosgw/ceph-$(hostname -s)/keyring Figure out what URL rgw should answer to and all that in the config parts, but that would be the same for manual and ceph-adm/orchestrated installs. and now you should be able to start the service with systemctl start ceph-radosgw@$(hostname -s).service The last part may or may not act up a bit due to two things, one is that it may have tried starting lots of times after the deb/rpm got installed, but long before you added they usable key for it, so doing a slight boxing match with systemd might be in order, to stop the service, reset-failed on the service and then restarting it. (and check that it is enabled, so it starts on next boot also) Secondly, I also tend to run into this issue* where rgw (and other parts of ceph!) can't create pools if they don't specify PG numbers, which rgw doesn't do any longer, and if you get this error, you end up having to create all the pools manually yourself (from a mon/admin host or the rgw, but doing it from the rgw requires a lot more specifying username and keyfile locations than the default admin-key hosts) *) https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/62770 This ticket has a VERY SIMPLE method of testing if ceph versions has this problem or not, just run "ceph osd pool create some-name" and see how it fails unless you add a number behind it or not. The help is quite clear that all other parameters are meant to be optional: osd pool create <pool> [<pg_num:int>] [<pgp_num:int>] [<pool_type:replicated|erasure>] [<erasure_code_profile>] [<rule>] [<expected_num_objects:int>] [<size:int>] [<pg_num_min:int>] [<pg_num_max:int>] [<autoscale_mode:on|off|warn>] [--bulk] [<target_size_bytes:int>] [<target_size_ratio:float>] : create pool -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.
