The nodejs rados module comes with an example that requires a Ceph cluster.
If Ceph was compiled from source, a cluster can be run from the source tree with
rm -fr dev out ; mkdir -p dev CEPH_NUM_MON=1 CEPH_NUM_OSD=3 \ ./vstart.sh -d -n -X -l mon osd
It can be used by modifying the /etc/ceph/ceph.conf in the example to the one from the sources : $CEPHSOURCE/src/ceph.conf. The expected output is
$ node exemple.js
