The package repository at https://download.ceph.com/debian-quincy/dists/ is missing packages for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Ubuntu's own ceph packages do contain critical bugs such as ceph-mon and radosgw segfaulting after an upgrade because they do not include updates. Adding the package source above results in 404 Not Found issues because Ubuntu 22.04 LTS "jammy" is missing.

Can updated packages be added for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS? Is there any way how I can help?

It affects us as well. Is there any chance for this build ?

We did workaround this by enabling the jammy-proposed repository, pinned it down using apt preferences, and explicitly installed Ubuntu's ceph packages from there. These packages already include version 17.2.6 and the fixes we needed. We only have a few (ceph) hosts on Ubuntu 22.04, so we deemed that acceptable. It would definitely be favorable to have upstream packages or a new Ubuntu point release before continuing.

# apt-cache policy ceph-mon

We now have a DAEMON_OLD_VERSION warning because our hosts on Ubuntu 20.04 got 17.2.7 from the Ceph APT repository, but there are still no packages for Ubuntu 22.04.

There seems to be no clear policy on what systems are actually supported. The documentation (https://docs.ceph.com/en/quincy/install/get-packages/#ceph-release-packages) says, "you may find releases for Debian/Ubuntu", but there only seems to be Quincy packages for Debian Bullseye and Ubuntu Focal (https://download.ceph.com/debian-quincy/dists/), and Reef seems to only have packages for Ubuntu Focal and Jammy, but not Debian anymore (https://download.ceph.com/debian-reef/dists/).

Are package installs still be supported, or are container-based installs the only actually supported installation method anymore?
