/// CONNECT A PROVIDER / CEPH (RADOS GATEWAY)

Ceph (RADOS Gateway)

Ceph's RADOS Gateway (RGW) exposes an S3-compatible API over your Ceph cluster. Point storafleet at your RGW gateway with an access key an admin issues for you.

What you need

• An access key and secret key issued by your cluster admin.
• Your RGW gateway S3 endpoint URL, e.g. https://rgw.your-domain.com.
• The region — this is your RGW zonegroup (often us-east-1; use whatever your cluster is configured with).

Get your credentials

1. Ask your cluster admin to create an S3 user with radosgw-admin user create --uid=<username> --display-name="…" (or via the Ceph Dashboard).
2. The command prints an access_key and secret_key in its output.
3. The admin gives you those two values — the access_key and the secret_key.

Endpoint & region

Your endpoint is your RGW gateway, e.g. https://rgw.your-domain.com. The region is your RGW zonegroup — often us-east-1, but use whatever your cluster is configured with.

Connect the Fleet

1. From the Fleet page, click Create Fleet and pick Access Keys.
2. Paste the access_key and secret_key from your admin.
3. Set your endpoint to your RGW gateway (e.g. https://rgw.your-domain.com) and set the region to your zonegroup.
4. Connect using path-style addressing. If your RGW is fronted by a private-CA or self-signed HTTPS certificate, provide a CA bundle so storafleet can verify the connection.

Supported features

RGW supports versioning, lifecycle, CORS, bucket policies, object tags, storage classes, and Object Lock.
