The system has been running for years and it would take me weeks to
reconfigure all of its services properly. I'm proceeding with just the
Debian nodes for now; worst case scenario I'll just have to rent a new
server to act as a third node. I was really hoping to use the CentOS one
since it's already there. Somebody else mentioned DRBD earlier so I've
looked into that too, but in that case I ran into problems with the Debian
systems instead because apparently only DRBD 9 and up supports more than
two nodes, and the only Debian kernel module packages I've found are for
DRDB 8. Ironically, CentOS does have a working kmod-drbd90 package
available.

One of my nodes is running CentOS 7 and the latest version I found for it
is 14, unless there's a way to get 15 working on it that I don't know about?

There is no cephadm for Ceph 14 as the orchestrator was first introduced 
in version 15.


Why are you talking about version 14 now anyhow?
As long as your nodes fulfill the requirements for cephadm you can 
install the latest version of Ceph.

Looking up the "manual installation" parts might help, if you can't
get the container stuff going for $reasons.

Hi,

have you read https://docs.ceph.com/en/reef/cephadm/install/ ?

Bootstrapping a new cluster should be as easy as

 # cephadm bootstrap --mon-ip **

if the nodes fulfill the requirements:

- Python 3
- Systemd
- Podman or Docker for running containers
- Time synchronization (such as chrony or NTP)
- LVM2 for provisioning storage devices
