Hi all,

Is there some kind of web-based or WebDAV-based front-end for accessing
a Ceph cluster?

Our situation is sometimes we have big blobs that we'd like to stash
somewhere safe, things like customer database backups, etc.  Things
other than disk images.

We haven't deployed CephFS at this stage as at the time, running more
than one MDS was not supported and I'd rather not rely on having
something that has that single point of failure.

For now I'm just creating a RBD, formatting it XFS and slopping my data
into that.  Not ideal, but it works: for me, as I run a Linux
workstation.  It won't work for the Windows users (which outnumber us
greatly).

I was thinking something along the lines of a WebDAV or Samba interface,
which I realise could be done with conventional Apache/Samba atop
CephFS, but I was wondering if there was something that would do it
using the librados API?  Something like Ceph Gateway, but without the
specialised client requirement.

Has anyone seen something along these lines or am I being to vague?
Regards,
