Swift is a distributed object storage system designed to be scalable, easy to deploy, and fault-tolerant. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Swift on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before installing Swift on Fedora CoreOS, make sure you have the following:
Swift depends on several packages that need to be installed on your server. To install these packages, run the following command:
sudo dnf install -y rsync xfsprogs xinetd memcached sqlite
To install Swift on Fedora CoreOS Latest, we need to download the package from the official website. You can download the package using the following command:
wget https://tarballs.openstack.org/swift/swift-2.24.0.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the package using the following command:
tar -zxvf swift-2.24.0.tar.gz
Now navigate to the extracted directory:
cd swift-2.24.0
Next, run the following commands to compile and install Swift:
sudo python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
After installing Swift, we need to configure it. The configuration file for Swift is located at /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf. Open this file in your favorite text editor and update the following settings:
[DEFAULT]
bind_port = 8080
workers = auto
user = swift
log_facility = LOG_LOCAL0
backlog = 4096
[pipeline:main]
pipeline = catch_errors healthcheck gatekeeper authtoken keystoneauth proxy-server
[app:proxy-server]
use = egg:swift#proxy
Save the file and exit the editor. These settings will configure Swift to listen on port 8080, use the Keystone authentication system, and log to syslog.
Now we can start the Swift services. Swift consists of several services, including proxy-server, account-server, container-server, and object-server. To start these services, run the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable swift-proxy
sudo systemctl start swift-proxy
This will enable and start the Swift proxy-server service. To start the other services, you can use the same command but replace swift-proxy with the appropriate service name (swift-account, swift-container, or swift-object).
To verify that Swift is installed and running correctly, we can send a GET request to the Swift proxy-server. You can use any web browser or the curl command to do this. Open a terminal (or web browser) and enter the following command:
curl -v -H 'X-Storage-User: test:tester' -H 'X-Storage-Pass: testing' http://localhost:8080/auth/v1.0
This will send a GET request to the Swift proxy-server using the test user account. You should see output similar to the following:
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Length: 178
< X-Trans-Id: tx9b9bfafa87a843259c3a3-005eaf1273
< X-Storage-Token: AUTH_tk75d09a51c314481abb25d7c34a731cbf
< X-Storage-Url: http://localhost:8080/v1/AUTH_test
< Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Swift on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Swift is a powerful and scalable object storage system that is easy to install and use. In this tutorial, you learned how to install Swift on Fedora CoreOS Latest, configure it, and verify that it is running correctly. With Swift, you can store and access data quickly and easily, making it a great choice for large-scale data storage and retrieval.
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!
