In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install SeaweedFS on Fedora CoreOS Latest. SeaweedFS is a distributed file system that provides simplified storage for different types of data.
Before we begin with the installation tutorial, make sure that you have the following requirements:
The first step is to download the SeaweedFS files to your Fedora CoreOS server. You can download the files using the following command:
$ wget https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs/releases/download/1.60/seaweedfs-1.60.linux-amd64.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the files from the archive using this command:
$ tar xzf seaweedfs-1.60.linux-amd64.tar.gz
After you have downloaded and extracted the SeaweedFS files, you can start the SeaweedFS server using the following command:
$ cd seaweedfs-1.60.linux-amd64
$ ./seaweedfs master
This command will start the SeaweedFS server in master mode, which is responsible for managing the file system metadata.
Next, we need to add a SeaweedFS volume server. A volume server is responsible for storing the actual data files. To add a volume server, open a new terminal window and run the following command:
$ ./seaweedfs volume -mserver=127.0.0.1:9333 -dataDir=/var/lib/seaweedfs
In this command, we are specifying the -mserver option to connect to the master server running on 127.0.0.1:9333, and the -dataDir option specifies the directory where the data files will be stored.
After starting the master and volume servers, we can now mount the SeaweedFS filesystem on our Fedora CoreOS instance. To do this, run the following command:
$ ./seaweed-fs mount /mnt/seaweedfs
This command will mount the SeaweedFS filesystem on /mnt/seaweedfs directory. You can replace this with any directory of your choice.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SeaweedFS on Fedora CoreOS Latest. From here, you can start using SeaweedFS to store and manage your data. If you face any issues during the installation or configuration process, feel free to check SeaweedFS documentation for more information.
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!
