secret_access_key = <YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
region = <YOUR_AWS_REGION>

[google]
type = gcp
project_id = <YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID>
private_key_id = <YOUR_GCP_PRIVATE_KEY_ID>
private_key = <YOUR_GCP_PRIVATE_KEY>
client_email = <YOUR_GCP_CLIENT_EMAIL>
client_id = <YOUR_GCP_CLIENT_ID>
auth_uri = <YOUR_GCP_AUTH_URI>
token_uri = <YOUR_GCP_TOKEN_URI>
auth_provider_x509_cert_url = <YOUR_GCP_AUTH_PROVIDER_X509_CERT_URL>

Save and exit the configuration file.

Step 4: Start Zenko CloudServer

You can start Zenko CloudServer using the following command:

sudo docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 443:443 -v /etc/cloudserver:/etc/cloudserver --name cloudserver scality/cloudserver start

This command will start Zenko CloudServer as a Docker container with the following options:

• -d runs the container in the background
• -p 8000:8000 maps the host port 8000 to the Docker container port 8000
• -p 443:443 maps the host port 443 to the Docker container port 443
• -v /etc/cloudserver:/etc/cloudserver mounts the host directory /etc/cloudserver to the Docker container directory /etc/cloudserver
• --name cloudserver gives the Docker container a name
• scality/cloudserver start starts the Zenko CloudServer service inside the Docker container

Verify the Installation

Once the Zenko CloudServer service is started, you can verify it by accessing the web console at https://localhost:443. If prompted for a username and password, use the default credentials zenko and zenko.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Zenko CloudServer on Clear Linux Latest.
