Hi,
Is there a reason for the difference?
The build process between ceph/ceph and ceph/{daemon,daemon-base} is different. ceph/ceph container images are only built when: - a new ceph release is available (like next 14.2.5) - a new base image is available (like centos:7 update) ceph/{daemon,daemon-base} container images are only built on ceph/ceph-container.git project changes.
Should we be using ceph/ceph or ceph/daemon-base? What's the difference?
I think it depends on what you are looking for. If you need stable images that follow the ceph releases then ceph/ceph is the way to go. Rook project is using them. If you need devel images then ceph/{daemon,daemon-base} images is maybe more appropriate. As an example, you don't have octopus container images on ceph/ceph. Or if you want what is present in a stable branch but not released yet.
It also seems to me "latest-" is unclear. Someone may think that "latest-nautilus" means the most recent release but it probably means (??) whatever ceph.git:heads/nautilus is. I'd recommend that be "dev-nautilus" instead. "nautilus" should be an alias for whatever the most recent release is.
Agreed it's unclear. The main confusion here is that it's not based on the ceph/ceph.git content but on ceph/ceph-container.git content. So latest-nautilus container tag doesn't mean the latest ceph nautilus content but the latest build system based on nautilus. Worth to mention it but the latest-xxxx tags are based on the stable ceph release from download.ceph.com except the master one based on chacra bits. That's why you can't have latest ceph/ceph content from a stable branch with latest-xxxx tag.
Hmm, also, what's the difference between latest-master and latest-master-devel? Because the latest-xxxx are based on the stable ceph release (except master) some people would like to test the unreleased code on a stable branch. That's why there's the latest-xxxx-devel tag. The ceph bits come from chacra and we're using a nightly job to build the container image.

$ sudo ../src/ceph-daemon --image ceph/daemon-base:latest-master version ceph version 15.0.0-6216-g2502df3 (2502df3084999edf8b19ced16fae7b862b91a827) octopus (dev) $ sudo ../src/ceph-daemon --image ceph/daemon-base:latest-master-devel version ceph version 15.0.0-5629-g2ab601a (2ab601ac0131a19ca93c743d95e83cc8eec59fcb) octopus (dev)

That tags for ceph/ceph seem more intuitive/useful for users, although it seems like we really want both latest-* and v* tags.
Thanks! sage
