Interactive init not asking for CephFS
Closed this issue · 6 comments
While following https://canonical-microcloud.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/tutorial/get_started/#initialise-microcloud, I noticed that on my system, the interactive init process didn't ask for the setting up CephFS for a remote-fs
pool:

Looks like you're using latest/stable
which doesn't have this feature yet. The debug binaries also only work with latest/edge
.
Yeah, I followed the tutorial to the letter and thus used latest/stable
. Since the tutorial mentions CephFS, I assumed it was already available in the referenced version. Looks like the tutorial is ready for latest/edge
then ;)
Thanks for checking!
Hmm, I wasn't aware that the official docs pull from the default branch. We do tag releases so I wonder if the docs should be sourced from the latest tag instead? @ru-fu

That would mean we need to (manually) update the RTD build for every tag, so I don't think this is feasible.
For LXD, we have the latest docs and all LTS releases, but no point releases.

What worries me here is that MicroCloud has a larger time frame in between stable releases than LXD, and we have had a pattern of substantially changing the interactive process each release. This cycle was very LXD focused so MicroCloud got pushed very far back but in a usual cycle, it's likely that the docs will not be applicable to what the majority of users are running within just a few weeks after the stable release, and will only continue to diverge for months, while we continue to encourage users to run latest/stable
.
We could have a stable
branch in addition to the main
branch (which would have edge)? Or use the main
branch for stable and have a development
branch for edge?
To add a version in RTD, we'll need to have a branch. And ideally one that doesn't constantly change its name, because that would mean manual changes (and also URL changes if I'm not mistaken).
