It probably doesn't make sense to move all the services under apache: the in-apache parts (i.e. the REST request handlers) are relatively unprivileged things that just know how to make calls to other (local) services, whereas the other services are reaching out over the network to the Ceph servers. It might make sense to use a ceph-calamari user for cthulhu et al, and leave the REST bits running as apache. As for carbon-cache, that should cease to be a calamari-specific question when using proper distro packages instead of an embedded instance (iirc we were still running our own built-in carbon last time I touched calamari) Cheers, John -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
