InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
I have some experience with Ceph, both for work, and with homelab-y stuff.
First, bear in mind that Ceph is a distributed storage system - so the idea is that you will have multiple nodes.
For learning, you can definitely virtualise it all on a single box - but you'll have a better time with discrete physical machines.
Also, Ceph does prefer physical access to disks (similar to ZFS).
And you do need decent networking connectivity - I think that's the main thing people think of, when they think of high hardware requirements for Ceph. Ideally 10Gbe at the minimum - although more if you want higher performance - there can be a lot of network traffic, particularly with things like backfill. (25Gbps if you can find that gear cheap for homelab - 50Gbps is a technological dead-end. 100Gbps works well).
But honestly, for a homelab, a cheap mini PC or NUC with 10Gbe will work fine, and you should get acceptable performance, and it'll be good for learning.
You can install Ceph directly on bare-metal, or if you want to do the homelab k8s route, you can use Rook (https://rook.io/).
Hope this helps, and good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions.
So, apparently ceph doesn't provide this feature anymore and, while for rbd this works fine, I'm left a bit confused. Following these examples https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/tree/devel/examples/cephfs I thought it would be enough, but not sure anymore.
I sincerely recommend checking out Microceph, it is designed specifically for smaller edge clusters and Homelabs.
