Ansible-NAS is an open-source project that allows users to turn their personal computers or servers into a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) system. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Ansible-NAS on the latest version of Fedora Server.
Before starting, you should have:
The first step is to install Git. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf install git
This will install Git on your system.
Next, clone the Ansible-NAS repository to your system. Run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/DaveStephens/ansible-nas.git
This will create a new directory named "ansible-nas" containing all the necessary files.
Ansible is an open-source automation tool that is used to deploy and manage applications on different servers. Install Ansible using the following command:
sudo dnf install ansible
Ansible-NAS uses a hosts file to define the servers that will be used to create the NAS. Open the "hosts.ini" file in the "ansible-nas" directory using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano ansible-nas/hosts.ini
Update the IP address or hostname of your server in the "nas" section of the hosts file.
[nas]
192.168.1.100 ansible_user=root ansible_ssh_pass=your_password
Save and close the file.
Run the following command to install Ansible-NAS:
cd ansible-nas
ansible-playbook nas.yml -i hosts.ini
This will start the installation process. It may take some time to complete, depending on your internet speed and system configuration.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the Ansible-NAS web interface by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of your server followed by ":8000". For example, if your server's IP address is "192.168.1.100", enter "192.168.1.100:8000" in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ansible-NAS on Fedora Server Latest. You can now start using Ansible-NAS to create a powerful and flexible NAS solution.
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!
