LeoFS is a distributed object storage system that is designed to be highly available, fault-tolerant, and scalable. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps needed to install LeoFS on Arch Linux.
Before we start with the installation of LeoFS, make sure that you have the following requirements:
LeoFS was developed using the Erlang programming language, so we need to install it before installing LeoFS.
To install Erlang, launch the terminal emulator and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S erlang
LeoFS has several dependencies that we need to install before we can install the software itself.
Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo pacman -S automake autoconf gcc make git
To download LeoFS, we need to clone its repository from GitHub. To do that, run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/leo-project/leo_storage.git
Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the directory containing the source code by running the following command:
cd leo_storage
Next, build and install LeoFS by running the following command:
./bootstrap.sh build
After installing LeoFS, we need to configure it before we can start using it.
Run the following command to create the configuration files:
./bin/leo_storage_setup install
After running the command, you will be prompted to enter various details like IP addresses, ports, and passwords. Make sure to enter the necessary details correctly.
Finally, start the LeoFS server by running the following command:
./bin/leo_storage start
After successfully starting the server, you can access the LeoFS dashboard by visiting the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost:8080/manager/status.html
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LeoFS on your Arch Linux system.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps needed to install LeoFS on Arch Linux. By following these steps, you can set up a highly available, fault-tolerant, and scalable distributed object storage system.
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!
