How to Install XtreemFS on Debian Latest

XtreemFS is a distributed file system that allows you to store and share large amounts of data across multiple servers in a scalable and fault-tolerant manner. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of XtreemFS on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have:

• A Debian Latest system
• Root access on the server
• An internet connection

Step 1: Adding XtreemFS Repository

First, add XtreemFS repository to your system. You can do this by creating and editing a new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xtreemfs.list:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xtreemfs.list

Add the following content:

deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/xtreemfs/Debian_<version>_amd64/ /

Replace <version> with your Debian version. For example, if you have Debian 10, replace it with buster.

Save and exit the file.

Step 2: Adding Repository Key

Next, you need to add the repository key to authenticate packages.

wget -qO - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/xtreemfs/Debian_<version>_amd64/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -

Again, replace <version> with your Debian version.

Step 3: Updating Package List

After adding the repo and key, you need to update the package list to reflect the changes.

sudo apt update

Step 4: Installing XtreemFS

Finally, install XtreemFS using the apt package manager.

sudo apt install xtreemfs-server xtreemfs-client

This command will install both the server and the client packages.

Step 5: Configuring XtreemFS

Once XtreemFS is installed, you can configure it to suit your needs. Start by editing the xtreemfs-server configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/xos/xtreemfs/default.properties

Make sure to set the following properties:

dir_service.host = localhost
dir_service.port = 32638

Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Starting XtreemFS

You can now start the server using the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/xtreemfs-server start

The server should start without any errors. You can verify the server status using:

sudo /etc/init.d/xtreemfs-server status

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed XtreemFS on Debian Latest. You can now start using XtreemFS to store and share large amounts of data across multiple servers in a scalable and fault-tolerant manner.

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!
