If you know about the issue behind the proposed change and you have

Documentation Link:
http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/start/os-recommendations/
Proposed Change: I'd like to update the list of OS recommendations, and to
get a list of
kernel versions that are supported. If this is not
possible, I would like
to publish a list of OSes and kernels on which people in
the community
have successfully tested Ceph.
I think the way to approach this is a blanket statement like:
Generally speaking, Ceph should work on any modern Linux distribution.
In practice, we build packages for and test on a select set of common
distributions.
Starting with Octopus, we recommend deployments consume Ceph via a
container image instead of packages. The container itself is based on
CentOS 8. The container is generally consumed by either Rook.io or the
ceph-daemon tool. In the later case, the OS requirements are relaxed, ...
Specifically, we build packages for:
...
We test on:
...
Something along those lines?
Zac's Request: Reply to this email if you
know of OSes or kernels th
Ceph has been
successfully tested on, and if those OSes or kernels are
not already in
the list.
By the time of octopus release, I belive this will be:
Build
- CentOS 8 (x86_64)
- Ubuntu 18.04 (x86_64)
- Ubuntu 18.04 (aarch64) (I think?)
Test
- centos 7.6 (containerized ceph only)
- centos 8.0
- ubuntu 18.04
We need to pin this down pretty soon. Much of this is piled up behind
the py3 conversion, which is oh-so-close...
Could we also get an updated Fedora-based recommendation? It's kind of
depressing to see Fedora 22 still mentioned on the website.
I personally run Ceph on Fedora rather than CentOS, and pretty much
all the guidelines for CentOS 8 would apply to a recent Fedora
version.
