and RAM, running storage services and VMs on same node is possible without a
big performance impact.
+To use the CephFS storage plugin you need update the debian stock Ceph client.
+Add our Ceph repository xref:sysadmin_package_repositories_ceph[Ceph repository].
+Once added, run an `apt update` and `apt dist-upgrade` cycle to get the newest
+packages.
+
+You need to make sure that there is no other Ceph repository configured,
+otherwise the installation will fail or there will be mixed package
+versions on the node, leading to unexpected behavior.

Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then copy the secret
- scp <cephserver>:/etc/ceph/cephfs.secret /etc/pve/priv/ceph/<STORAGE_ID>.secret
+ scp cephfs.secret <proxmox>:/etc/pve/priv/ceph/<STORAGE_ID>.secret
The secret must be named to match your `<STORAGE_ID>`. Copying the
secret generally requires root privileges. The file must only contain the
secret key itself, opposed to the `rbd` backend which also contains a
`[client.userid]` section.
+A secret can be received from the ceph cluster (as ceph admin) by issuing the
+following command. Replace the `userid` with the actual client ID configured to
+access the cluster. For further ceph user management see the Ceph docs
+footnote:[Ceph user management http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/rados/operations/user-management/].
+
+ ceph auth get-key client.userid > cephfs.secret
+
If Ceph is installed locally on the PVE cluster, i.e., setup with `pveceph`,
this is done automatically.
