Thanks for the reply,

I am looking at ascender but the install is a bit unusual.

I do not like not knowing what it’s playbooks is exactly doing to my existing cluster.

I also run our test/dev cluster on Rocky 10.2 which isn’t compatible with their installer so im going to have to spin up a whole other cluster just to test it as i do not want to just throw this at my prod cluster (Rocky 9).

Has anyone installed Ascender on Rocky 10, i know i can override the setup.sh script to bypass the version requirement but not sure i want to trash my test/dev cluster either.
