XtreemFS is a distributed file system designed to provide high scalability, availability, and performance. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install XtreemFS on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before installing anything new, it's always wise to make sure you're running the latest and greatest. To update the packages on your machine, run:
sudo apk update
echo "@xtreemfs http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/xtreemfs:/unstable/xUbuntu_14.04/" | sudo tee -a /etc/apk/repositories
sudo apk add xtreemfs-server xtreemfs-client
sudo xtreemfs-generate-certificates.sh
You will be prompted for a passphrase, so choose something secure and memorable. 2. Initialize the XtreemFS configuration:
sudo xtreemfs-initconfig.sh
/etc/xos/xtreemfs/default.properties to suit your needs. At minimum, you should set the following properties:dir_service.host = localhost
mkfs.mode = always_create
mount.default-dir = /mnt/xtreemfs
service.udp.port = 32636
service.ssl.enabled = true
sudo rc-service xtreemfs-server start
Congratulations! You've successfully installed and configured XtreemFS on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now start using the file system by mounting it using the XtreemFS client.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
