Manage Ceph Object Storage with RcloneView — S3-Compatible GUI for Your Ceph Cluster
Ceph powers some of the world's largest storage clusters. But browsing buckets, syncing to external clouds, or verifying data usually means CLI tools and scripts. RcloneView provides the visual layer Ceph administrators have been missing.
Ceph is the go-to distributed storage system for enterprises, research institutions, and cloud providers. Its RADOS Gateway (RGW) exposes an S3-compatible API, which means RcloneView can connect directly to your Ceph cluster and provide a full visual file management experience — browsing buckets, transferring data to external clouds, scheduling backups, and verifying integrity.
Manage & Sync All Clouds in One Place
RcloneView is a cross-platform GUI for rclone. Compare folders, transfer or sync files, and automate multi-cloud workflows with a clean, visual interface.
- One-click jobs: Copy · Sync · Compare
- Schedulers & history for reliable automation
- Works with Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, WebDAV, SFTP and more
Free core features. Plus automations available.
Connect Ceph to RcloneView
Add your Ceph cluster as an S3-compatible remote using your RGW endpoint, access key, and secret key. RcloneView treats it like any other S3 provider.
Key Use Cases
Browse and manage buckets visually
Navigate your Ceph buckets and objects in the two-pane explorer instead of using s3cmd or aws cli:
Replicate to external cloud
Maintain an offsite copy of critical Ceph data on AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Backblaze B2:
Schedule cross-site backups
Automate nightly replication from your Ceph cluster to an external cloud provider:
Migrate data to/from Ceph
Moving from AWS S3 to your own Ceph cluster? Or migrating off Ceph to a commercial provider? The two-pane explorer makes it a visual operation.
Verify data integrity
Use Folder Comparison to confirm that replicated data matches the source:
Performance Considerations
Ceph clusters can handle high throughput. Increase parallel transfers (8-16) and multi-thread streams to maximize bandwidth during large migrations or backups.
Getting Started
- Download RcloneView from rcloneview.com.
- Add your Ceph RGW as an S3-compatible remote.
- Browse your buckets in the file explorer.
- Set up replication jobs to external clouds.
Enterprise storage deserves enterprise-level management tools.
