MooseFS is a distributed file system that offers high scalability, redundancy, and reliability. In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to install MooseFS on Fedora CoreOS latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start the installation process, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A running instance of Fedora CoreOS latest
• Superuser privileges on the instance
• An internet connection

Step 1: Update the Operating System

The first step is to update your Fedora CoreOS latest to ensure that you have the latest packages and security patches.

To update the system, run the following command in the terminal:

sudo rpm-ostree update 

Step 2: Add the MooseFS Repository

The next step is to add the MooseFS repository to your Fedora CoreOS latest instance.

Create a new file /etc/yum.repos.d/moosefs.repo with the following content:

[moosefs]
name=moosefs
baseurl=http://ppa.moosefs.com/moosefs/stable/rhel/7/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Step 3: Install the MooseFS Packages

After adding the MooseFS repository, you can now install the MooseFS packages.

Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo dnf install moosefs-master moosefs-cgi moosefs-cli moosefs-cgiserv

This command will install the MooseFS master server, MooseFS CGI interface, MooseFS command line interface, and MooseFS CGI server.

Step 4: Configure the MooseFS Master Server

After installing the MooseFS packages, you need to configure the MooseFS master server.

Edit the configuration file /etc/mfs/mfsmaster.cfg and set the following parameters:

workdir = /var/lib/mfs
mfschunkserverbindaddr = 0.0.0.0

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Start the MooseFS Services

After configuring the MooseFS master server, you can start the MooseFS services.

Run the following commands in the terminal:

sudo systemctl enable moosefs-master.service
sudo systemctl start moosefs-master.service
sudo systemctl enable moosefs-cgiserv.service
sudo systemctl start moosefs-cgiserv.service

These commands will enable and start the MooseFS master server and the MooseFS CGI server.

Step 6: Check the MooseFS Installation

To verify that the MooseFS installation is successful, you can use the MooseFS command line interface.

Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo mfsmount --version

This command should output the version number of the MooseFS client.
