Are small ceph clusters viable?

I sincerely recommend checking out Microceph, it is designed specifically for smaller edge clusters and Homelabs.

Ceph can be technically challenging to support yourself. I'm all for learning new things, but I don't want to be left with some monster I have to constantly administratively feed either. Have you seen https://github.com/canonical/microceph ?

For vault, I run vault in my cluster, and use a tf-controller to control its state. My Terraform files are automated to deploy as an oci which is used to feed the tf-controller. My main home cluster hasn't been upgraded that much yet but you can find it here for reference. My test "cluster" repo is private, mainly because some of my mistakes are more embarrassing than the mistakes I make with the main one. I don't have experience with consul so I cannot offer any recommendations on that front.
