So I tried to build it by myself and failed numerous times. Finally I just went the debian way and to have it clean and reproducible I did it then again within a docker container. Here is the Dockerfile to build the latest nfs-ganesha on top of Debian with the Ceph version provided by Proxmox. ---- rstumbaum@controlnode01.dc1:~/docker-nfs-ganesha-build$ cat Dockerfile ARG DEBIAN_RELEASE="buster" ARG CEPH_RELEASE_PVE="nautilus" FROM debian:${DEBIAN_RELEASE} AS build-env ARG DEBIAN_RELEASE ARG CEPH_RELEASE_PVE ADD http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg RUN chmod 644 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg &&\ echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-${CEPH_RELEASE_PVE} ${DEBIAN_RELEASE} main" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list &&\ echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian ${DEBIAN_RELEASE}-backports main" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list &&\ echo "deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free" >//etc/apt/sources.list.d/sid-src.list RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install -y build-essential git-buildpackage cmake bison flex doxygen lsb-release pkgconf \ nfs-common ceph-common RUN apt-get install -y -t ${DEBIAN_RELEASE}-backports libglusterfs-dev WORKDIR /build RUN apt-get build-dep -y libntirpc-dev &&\ apt-get source -y --compile libntirpc-dev &&\ dpkg -i *.deb RUN apt-get build-dep -y nfs-ganesha &&\ apt-get source -y --compile nfs-ganesha VOLUME /export rstumbaum@controlnode01.dc1:~/docker-nfs-ganesha-build$ ---- To build I just run docker build . -t nfs-ganesha-debs Then to get the build result I just run docker run -v $HOME/docker-nfs-ganesha-build/export:/export -it nfs-ganesha-debs bash and the within the container cp -a *.deb /export/ exit The Dockerfile uses the Debian sid build rules to currently build version 3.4 . The backports is used to provide only the libglusterfs-dev package. After building I just docker image rm the 1.6GByte build container and keep only the 16 Mbyte of .deb files... It would be easier for newbies like me to get started if the project could provide a Dockerfile to build and run nfs-ganesha as a multilevel container with a default config inside. Best regards Rainer
