LeoFS is an open source distributed object storage system. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install LeoFS on Clear Linux Latest.
Before starting, make sure you have the following:
LeoFS is not available in Clear Linux repositories. Therefore, we need to add the LeoFS repository manually.
Open the terminal and execute the following command to add the LeoFS repository:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-erlang
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[leo]\nname=LeoFS Repository\nbaseurl=http://dlc.packages.leofs.org/leofs/${CLEAR_LINUX_VERSION}/x86_64/\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=http://dlc.packages.leofs.org/GPG-KEY-LeoFS\n" > /etc/zypp/repos.d/leofs.repo'
After adding the LeoFS repository, execute the following command to update the package list:
sudo swupd update
Now, we can install LeoFS. Execute the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add leofs
The above command will install all the necessary components required to run LeoFS.
After installation, we need to configure LeoFS. LeoFS configuration files are located in the /usr/local/leofs/current/etc/leo_storage.conf and /usr/local/leofs/current/etc/leo_gateway.confdirectories.
You can modify the necessary parameters in these files. For example, to change the storage path directory, you can modify the storage_data_base_directory parameter in the /usr/local/leofs/current/etc/leo_storage.conf file.
Now, we can start the LeoFS server. Execute the following command:
sudo /usr/local/leofs/current/sbin/leo_manager_server start
The above command will start the LeoFS server. You can verify the status of the server using the following command:
sudo /usr/local/leofs/current/sbin/leo_manager_server ping
If the server is running, it will return pong.
After starting the server, we can create buckets in LeoFS. Execute the following command to create a bucket called mybucket:
sudo /usr/local/leofs/current/bin/leo_storage_manager bucket create mybucket
Now, LeoFS is ready to use. You can use LeoFS APIs to store and retrieve objects from the server.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install LeoFS on Clear Linux Latest. LeoFS is a powerful object-based storage system that can be used to store large amounts of data. With LeoFS, you can easily set up a distributed storage system and scale it according to your needs. Happy storing!
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!
