MooseFS is a high-performance, fault-tolerant, scalable, network-distributed file system. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to install MooseFS on Debian Latest.
Before we proceed, please make sure you have a fresh Debian Latest installation with root privilege.
First, we need to add the MooseFS repository to our Debian system. To do so, run the following command.
echo "deb http://ppa.moosefs.com/moosefs-3/apt/$(lsb_release -cs) $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/moosefs.list
wget -O - http://ppa.moosefs.com/moosefs-signing-key.pub | apt-key add -
Once we have added the repository, we can now install MooseFS Server by running the following command.
apt-get update
apt-get install moosefs-server
After installing MooseFS Server, we need to configure it before we can use it. To start with, we need to edit the MooseFS configuration file, which is located at /etc/mfs/mfsexports.cfg.
nano /etc/mfs/mfsexports.cfg
In this file, we can add our storage devices, and specify which devices we want to use to store our data.
Finally, we can now start MooseFS Server by running the following command.
/etc/init.d/moosefs-server start
We can verify whether MooseFS Server is running by running the following command.
/etc/init.d/moosefs-server status
We have successfully installed MooseFS on Debian Latest, and we have configured it to store data on our storage devices. With MooseFS, we can now have a high-performance, fault-tolerant, scalable, network-distributed file system on our Debian 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!
