SheepDog is a distributed storage system that provides a simple and easy-to-use interface for storing and retrieving data across multiple nodes. In this tutorial, we will show you step-by-step how to install SheepDog on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
To ensure that your system is up to date, open up a terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf update
Next, install the SheepDog using the following command:
sudo dnf install -y sheepdog
Once the installation is complete, we need to configure SheepDog. To do this, we need to edit the /etc/sheepdog/sheepdog.conf file using our favorite text editor. In this tutorial, we will use nano:
sudo nano /etc/sheepdog/sheepdog.conf
In this file, you will need to modify the following parameters:
listen_addr = 0.0.0.0
log_file = /var/log/sheepdog/sheep.log
store = sheepdog
The listen_addr parameter specifies the IP address SheepDog will listen on. The log_file parameter specifies the file where the logs will be stored, and the store parameter specifies the storage backend.
You can save and exit this file afterward.
Finally, start the SheepDog service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start sheepdog
To verify that SheepDog is running, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status sheepdog
You should see a message indicating that SheepDog is active and running.
That’s it. You have successfully installed and configured SheepDog on your Fedora Server Latest. With SheepDog, you can now store and retrieve data across multiple nodes with ease.
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!
