Ceph » devops

On our systems /home is almost always a remote mounted directory and installation of the Debian packages usually bail out with

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/cephadm/.ssh’: No such file or directory

I would like to propose a simple patch to debian/cephadm.postinst to keep the current behavior unless the cephadm user is pre-created with a different home dir.

The PR would be

https://github.com/ceph/ceph/compare/main...carsten-AEI:ceph:remove_hard_coded_home_dir?diff=unified

but I am a bit overwhelmed what I should/need to set as I have never contributed to such a large project before. Thus, I would appreciate any guidance how to make your life easier.
