I used to use Ceph Luminous (v12) on these, they worked fine. Unfortunately, a bug in Nautilus (v14) prevented 32-bits and 64-bits archs from talking to each other. Pacific (v16) allegedly solves this, but I didn't try it: https://ceph.com/en/news/blog/2021/v16-2-5-pacific-released/

If you want to try it with a more modern (and 64-bits) device, the hardkernel HC4 might do it for you. It's conceptually similar to the HC2 but has two drives. Unfortunately it only has double the RAM (4GB), which is probably not enough anymore.




Looks so good, wish for a > 1gbit version, since HDDs alone can saturate that


Did you look at their H3? It's pricier but it has two 2.5Gbits ports (along with a NVMe slot and an Intel CPU)


I have one and love it! It bravely holds together my intranet dev services :)

For a ceph node would still consider a version with 10gbit eth
