XtreemFS is a distributed file system that allows easy data sharing across multiple machines. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install XtreemFS on Elementary OS.
To install XtreemFS, we need to add its repository. Open the terminal and enter the following commands:
wget -q http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/xtreemfs/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/xtreemfs/xUbuntu_20.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xtreemfs.list"
Before installing XtreemFS, we need to update the system:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Now, it's time to install XtreemFS. Enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install xtreemfs-server xtreemfs-client
This will install the XtreemFS server and client.
After the installation, we need to configure the XtreemFS server. Run the following command:
sudo /usr/share/xtreemfs/setup-xtreemfs-server.sh
Follow the instructions to set up the server.
After the server is set up, start it with the following command:
sudo service xtreemfs-server start
Now that the server is up and running, we can connect to it using the XtreemFS client. Enter the following command:
sudo mount.xtreemfs <hostname>/<volume_name> <mount_point>
Replace <hostname> with the IP address or hostname of the server, <volume_name> with the name of the volume you want to mount, and <mount_point> with the directory where you want to mount the volume.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed XtreemFS on Elementary OS! You can now share data across multiple machines using XtreemFS.
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!
