Zenko CloudServer is an open-source software from Scality, which provides an efficient way to deploy a multi-cloud data controller, and it allows you to manage your data on premises or in the cloud.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install the Zenko CloudServer on Fedora CoreOS latest, using the command-line interface.
Before we get started, let's make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to install some dependencies on your system that Zenko CloudServer needs to work correctly. Open your terminal and run the following command to update all packages and dependencies:
$ sudo dnf update
Once the update process completes successfully, install the required dependencies using the following command:
$ sudo dnf install -y curl git gcc g++ make pkgconfig fuse fuse-devel
In this step, we will install Node.js and NPM on Fedora CoreOS. You can install the latest version of Node.js using the Fedora package manager as follows:
$ sudo dnf install -y nodejs
Once the installation completes, verify the installation by checking the version of Node.js and NPM installed on your system:
$ node -v
$ npm -v
Zenko CloudServer can be installed with NPM on your system. Open your terminal and run the following command to install the latest version of Zenko CloudServer:
$ npm install zenko-cloudserver -g
This command will install the Zenko CloudServer globally on your system, and you can use it from any directory.
After installation, you need to configure the Zenko CloudServer before you can start using it. To configure Zenko CloudServer:
Create a configuration file named config.json using the following command:
$ cat > config.json << EOF
{
"transports": {
"http": {
"port": 8000
}
}
}
EOF
In this file, you can add other configurations, like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or GCP, according to your needs.
Start Zenko CloudServer using the following command:
$ scality-s3server --config config.json
This command will start the Zenko CloudServer on port 8000.
Once the Zenko CloudServer starts successfully, you can access it through the web interface or command-line interface.
To access the web interface, open your web browser and type http://localhost:8000 in the address bar. You will see the web interface of Zenko CloudServer on your screen.
To access Zenko CloudServer through the command-line interface, you can use the s3cmd utility. This command-line utility is used to manage your data using AWS S3 API. To install s3cmd, run the following command:
$ sudo dnf install -y s3cmd
Once the installation completes, configure the s3cmd utility using the following command:
$ s3cmd --configure
Provide the required configurations, like access key, secret key, endpoint, and region.
Now you can use the s3cmd utility to manage your data on Zenko CloudServer using the following commands:
$ s3cmd ls s3://my-bucket
$ s3cmd put my-file s3://my-bucket
$ s3cmd get s3://my-bucket/my-file
$ s3cmd rm s3://my-bucket/my-file
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Zenko CloudServer on your Fedora CoreOS system. Now you can manage your data on-premises or in the cloud using Zenko CloudServer.
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!
