Checking out the source

Clone the ceph/ceph repository from github by running the following command on a system that has git installed:

git clone git@github.com:ceph/ceph

Alternatively, if you are not a github user, you should run the following command on a system that has git installed:

git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph.git

When the ceph/ceph repository has been cloned to your system, run the following commands to move into the cloned ceph/ceph repository and to check out the git submodules associated with it:

cd ceph
git submodule update --init --recursive --progress

Build Prerequisites

section last updated 06 Sep 2024

We provide the Debian and Ubuntu apt commands in this procedure. If you use a system with a different package manager, then you will have to use different commands.

#. Install curl:

apt install curl

#. Install package dependencies by running the install-deps.sh script:

./install-deps.sh

#. Install the python3-routes package:

apt install python3-routes

Building Ceph

These instructions are meant for developers who are compiling the code for development and testing. To build binaries that are suitable for installation we recommend that you build .deb or .rpm packages, or refer to ceph.spec.in or debian/rules to see which configuration options are specified for production builds.

To build Ceph, follow this procedure:

  1. Make sure that you are in the top-level ceph directory that contains do_cmake.sh and CONTRIBUTING.rst.

  2. Run the do_cmake.sh script:

    ./do_cmake.sh
    

    do_cmake.sh by default creates a "debug build" of Ceph, which can be up to five times slower than a non-debug build. Pass -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo to do_cmake.sh to create a non-debug build.

  3. Move into the build directory:

    cd build
    
  4. Use the ninja buildsystem to build the development environment:

    ninja -j3
    

    [IMPORTANT]

    Ninja is the build system used by the Ceph project to build test builds. The number of jobs used by ninja is derived from the number of CPU cores of the building host if unspecified. Use the -j option to limit the job number if build jobs are running out of memory. If you attempt to run ninja and receive a message that reads g++: fatal error: Killed signal terminated program cc1plus, then you have run out of memory.

    Using the -j option with an argument appropriate to the hardware on which the ninja command is run is expected to result in a successful build. For example, to limit the job number to 3, run the command ninja -j3. On average, each ninja job run in parallel needs approximately 2.5 GiB of RAM.

    This documentation assumes that your build directory is a subdirectory of the ceph.git checkout. If the build directory is located elsewhere, point CEPH_GIT_DIR to the correct path of the checkout. Additional CMake args can be specified by setting ARGS before invoking do_cmake.sh. See cmake options for more details. For example:

    ARGS="-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-7" ./do_cmake.sh
    

    To build only certain targets, run a command of the following form:

    ninja [target name]
    
  5. Install the vstart cluster:

    ninja install
    

CMake Options

The -D flag can be used with cmake to speed up the process of building Ceph and to customize the build.

Building without RADOS Gateway

The RADOS Gateway is built by default. To build Ceph without the RADOS Gateway, run a command of the following form:

cmake -DWITH_RADOSGW=OFF [path to top-level ceph directory]

Building with debugging and arbitrary dependency locations

Run a command of the following form to build Ceph with debugging and alternate locations for some external dependencies:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/ceph -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Og -g3 -gdwarf-4" \
..

Ceph has several bundled dependencies such as Boost, RocksDB and Arrow. By default, cmake builds these bundled dependencies from source instead of using libraries that are already installed on the system. You can opt to use these system libraries, as long as they meet Ceph's version requirements. To use system libraries, use cmake options like WITH_SYSTEM_BOOST, as in the following example:

cmake -DWITH_SYSTEM_BOOST=ON [...]

To view an exhaustive list of -D options, invoke cmake -LH:

cmake -LH

Preserving diagnostic colors

If you pipe ninja to less and would like to preserve the diagnostic colors in the output in order to make errors and warnings more legible, run the following command:

cmake -DDIAGNOSTICS_COLOR=always ...

The above command works only with supported compilers.

The diagnostic colors will be visible when the following command is run:

ninja | less -R

Other available values for DIAGNOSTICS_COLOR are auto (default) and never.

Building a source tarball

To build a complete source tarball with everything needed to build from source and/or build a (deb or rpm) package, run

./make-dist

This will create a tarball like ceph-$version.tar.bz2 from git. (Ensure that any changes you want to include in your working directory are committed to git.)

Running a test cluster

From the ceph/ directory, run the following commands to launch a test Ceph cluster:

cd build
ninja vstart        # builds just enough to run vstart
../src/vstart.sh --debug --new -x --localhost --bluestore
./bin/ceph -s

Most Ceph commands are available in the bin/ directory. For example:

./bin/rbd create foo --size 1000
./bin/rados -p foo bench 30 write

To shut down the test cluster, run the following command from the build/ directory:

../src/stop.sh

Use the sysvinit script to start or stop individual daemons:

./bin/init-ceph restart osd.0
./bin/init-ceph stop

Running unit tests

To build and run all tests (in parallel using all processors), use ctest:

cd build
ninja
ctest -j$(nproc)

(Note: Many targets built from src/test are not run using ctest. Targets starting with "unittest" are run in ninja check and thus can be run with ctest. Targets starting with "ceph_test" can not, and should be run by hand.)

When failures occur, look in build/Testing/Temporary for logs.

To build and run all tests and their dependencies without other unnecessary targets in Ceph:

cd build
ninja check -j$(nproc)

To run an individual test manually, run ctest with -R (regex matching):

ctest -R [regex matching test name(s)]

(Note: ctest does not build the test it's running or the dependencies needed to run it)

To run an individual test manually and see all the tests output, run ctest with the -V (verbose) flag:

ctest -V -R [regex matching test name(s)]

To run tests manually and run the jobs in parallel, run ctest with the -j flag:

ctest -j [number of jobs]

There are many other flags you can give ctest for better control over manual test execution. To view these options run:

man ctest

Building the Documentation

Prerequisites

The list of package dependencies for building the documentation can be found in doc_deps.deb.txt:

sudo apt-get install `cat doc_deps.deb.txt`

Building the Documentation

To build the documentation, ensure that you are in the top-level /ceph directory, and execute the build script. For example:

admin/build-doc
