42-42: Simplify redundant phrase.The phrase "point in time" is redundant. Use either "point" or "time" instead.

1-280: Document structure and content are well organized.The document provides comprehensive coverage of lakeFS deployment, configuration, and best practices. The overall structure follows a logical flow from background through troubleshooting and reference materials. Once the critical security issue and broken links are addressed, this will be a solid guide for users.

42-42: Simplify redundant phrase.The phrase "specific point in time" is redundant; "point" and "time" convey the same meaning. Simplify to either "specific point" or "specific time".

102-103: Clarify CephObjectStoreUser spec values.A past reviewer raised concerns about these two fields that remain unaddressed:
store: my-store— Should reference the actual Ceph ObjectStore resource name you created (e.g., the metadata name from the ObjectStore definition). The example valuemy-storemay not match real deployments.displayName: lakefs-storage-pool— SincedisplayNametypically represents the user's display name, naming it after a storage pool identifier may be semantically misaligned. Consider using a user-focused name likelakefs-useror similar.Please clarify or correct these values to match the actual Ceph ObjectStore name and use a semantically appropriate display name for the user.
131-139: Clarify PostgreSQL database creation method.A past reviewer noted this step may not be straightforward. The current documentation could be improved:
- Namespace specification: The
kubectl get podscommand doesn't specify a namespace. Clarify which namespace the PostgreSQL pod is deployed to (e.g., add-n <postgres-namespace>).- Pod identification: Users unfamiliar with Kubernetes may find it unclear how to identify the correct PostgreSQL pod. Consider providing more specific guidance or filtering by label.
- Alternative approach: Consider mentioning whether the lakeFS Helm chart can create the database automatically via an initContainer, which would be more reliable than manual execution.
Please expand the documentation to address these points or recommend a more reliable method.
149-152: Clear placeholder instructions.The explanatory notes properly guide users to replace placeholders with actual values. This adequately addresses the previous security concern about exposed credentials.
1-290: Well-structured and comprehensive lakeFS guide.Overall, this is a thorough documentation guide covering prerequisites, installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and best practices. Previous security concerns (exposed credentials) and broken links have been properly resolved. The document provides clear examples and proper placeholder usage.
The two main items requiring attention are the unresolved past reviewer concerns: (1) clarifying the CephObjectStoreUser spec values and (2) providing more detailed guidance on the PostgreSQL database creation step. Additionally, a minor text redundancy on line 42 can be cleaned up.

41-41: Use "point" or "time", not both.The phrase "at a specific point in time" is redundant; prefer either "point" or "time" alone for clarity.
🔎 Proposed fix
-- **Commit**: A snapshot of the repository at a specific point in time +- **Commit**: A snapshot of the repository at a specific point in timeAlternative (more concise):
-- **Commit**: A snapshot of the repository at a specific point in time +- **Commit**: A snapshot of the repository at a given point in timeOr simply:
-- **Commit**: A snapshot of the repository at a specific point in time +- **Commit**: A snapshot of the repository in time
101-101: Clarify the store name placeholder.Line 101 references
store: my-store, which must be replaced with the actual Ceph object store name. Add a clarifying comment or note in the documentation to help users identify their store name.🔎 Suggested improvement
Add a note before the YAML snippet:
+> **Note**: Replace `my-store` on line `store: my-store` with your actual Ceph object store name (e.g., the name you used when creating the CephObjectStore). + ```yaml apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1 kind: CephObjectStoreUser metadata: name: lakefs-user namespace: rook-ceph spec: store: my-store
102-102: Clarify the displayName semantics.The
displayNamefield represents the display name of the user object, not a storage pool. Using "lakefs-storage-pool" is semantically confusing. Consider a name that reflects this is a user account (e.g.,lakefs-userorlakeFS Storage User).🔎 Proposed fix
spec: store: my-store - displayName: lakefs-storage-pool + displayName: "lakeFS Storage User"Alternatively, if using a shortened form consistent with the
metadata.name:spec: store: my-store - displayName: lakefs-storage-pool + displayName: lakefs-user

113-179: Well-structured configuration section.The credential retrieval uses busybox-compatible
base64 -dsyntax, the placeholder replacements are clearly noted, and the PostgreSQL setup method is documented. Previous issues (exposed credentials, unclear postgres setup) have been adequately addressed.
180-289: Comprehensive and well-organized sections.The deployment verification, configuration guide, troubleshooting, best practices, and reference sections are well-structured, provide actionable guidance, and properly reference official documentation. The diagnostic commands are helpful for operational support.

38-42: Tighten wording in key concepts section.Line 41 contains redundant phrasing: "snapshot of the repository at a specific point in time" should be shortened to either "at a specific point" or "at a specific time" for clarity.
🔎 Proposed rewording
- **Commit**: A snapshot of the repository at a specific point in time + **Commit**: A snapshot of the repository at a specific point in timeOr more concisely:
- **Commit**: A snapshot of the repository at a specific point in time + **Commit**: A snapshot of the repository at a point in time
130-138: Clarify PostgreSQL pod selection for database creation.The instructions for finding and connecting to the PostgreSQL pod are implicit in the command
kubectl get pods. To reduce friction for users less familiar with Kubernetes, consider explicitly filtering for the PostgreSQL pod. For example:# List PostgreSQL pods specifically kubectl get pods -l app=postgresql # or use the actual label from your PostgreSQL deployment # Then execute the database creation kubectl exec -it <postgres-pod-name> -- psql -U postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE lakefs;"Alternatively, if using the PostgreSQL Operator chart recommended in line 126, the connection details may differ. Clarify whether users should:
- Connect via
kubectl execto the operator pod, or- Use port-forwarding to connect locally with
psql
149-170: Verify placeholder replacement guidance is complete.The note at lines 149–150 correctly instructs users to replace
<YOUR_ACCESS_KEY>,<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>,<DB_USER>,<DB_PASSWORD>, and<DB_HOST>. However, line 163 also referencesmy-storein the S3 endpoint:endpoint: "http://rook-ceph-rgw-my-store.rook-ceph.svc:7480"Ensure the guidance also mentions that
my-storeshould match the actual Ceph RGW object store name. Additionally, verify that<DB_HOST>maps correctly—if using the PostgreSQL Operator recommended in line 126, the service name may not be simplypostgres-service. A brief example or clarification would help:# Example: databaseConnectionString: "postgres://lakefs_user:[email protected]:5432/lakefs"

101-102: Clarify Ceph ObjectStoreUser displayName semantics.The
displayName: lakefs-storage-poolappears semantically misaligned with the field's purpose. In Ceph,displayNametypically refers to the user's display name, not the storage pool being accessed. Consider renaming to something likedisplayName: lakeFS-Useror simplydisplayName: lakefsto better reflect that this is a user credential, not a pool identifier.Additionally, verify that the
store: my-storevalue (line 101) matches the actual Ceph RGW object store name in your environment, as this is referenced again in the deployment configuration (line 163).
