In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Zenko CloudServer on Alpine Linux Latest. Zenko CloudServer is an open source software that enables you to turn storage infrastructure into a public or private cloud. It is built on top of Scality S3 Server and allows you to store and manage data like S3 does.
Before we start with the installation of Zenko CloudServer, we need to install some dependencies that are required for its proper functioning. Run the following command to install these packages:
apk add --no-cache bash curl nano openssl python3 py3-pip
This command installs bash, curl, nano, openssl, python3, and py3-pip packages.
Now that we have installed the dependencies, the next step is to download and install Zenko CloudServer. Run the following command to install Zenko CloudServer:
pip3 install zenko-cloudserver
Once we have installed Zenko CloudServer, we need to configure it to work with our storage infrastructure. Zenko CloudServer comes with a default configuration file that needs to be edited to match our requirements. Use the following command to create a copy of the default configuration file:
cp /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zenko_cloudserver/config.yaml /etc/zenko/config.yaml
Next, open the configuration file in your preferred text editor and make the necessary changes. You can adjust settings related to the backend storage, data replication, access keys, and more. Refer to the Zenko CloudServer documentation for more information on the available configuration options.
nano /etc/zenko/config.yaml
Save the changes and exit the text editor.
We are now ready to start the Zenko CloudServer service. Use the following command to start the service:
zenko-cloudserver start
You can also verify the status of the service using the following command:
zenko-cloudserver status
If everything is configured correctly, you should see the status as “running”.
In this tutorial, we have covered the steps to install Zenko CloudServer on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now customize and use your Zeno CloudServer instance as a cloud storage solution.
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!
