Installing XtreemFS on Fedora Server Latest

XtreemFS is a distributed file system that runs on multiple platforms, including Fedora Server. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install XtreemFS on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the following:

Step 1: Download and Install Java

XtreemFS requires Java to be installed on the machine. If Java is not already installed, you can install it using the following command:

sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk-devel

Once Java is installed, verify the installation using the following command:

java -version

Step 2: Download and Install XtreemFS

To download and install XtreemFS, follow the steps below:

  1. Download the XtreemFS repository file:
sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/xtreemfs.repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/xtreemfs/Fedora_Fedora_Release_33/home:xtreemfs.repo

Note: Replace 'Fedora_Fedora_Release_33' with the appropriate release number for your version of Fedora

  1. Import the GPG key for the repository:
sudo rpm --import http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/xtreemfs/Fedora_Fedora_Release_33/repodata/repomd.xml.key

Note: Replace 'Fedora_Fedora_Release_33' with the appropriate release number for your version of Fedora

  1. Install the XtreemFS server and client packages:
sudo dnf install xtreemfs-server xtreemfs-client

Step 3: Configuration

Once XtreemFS is installed, you need to configure the system according to your requirements. The XtreemFS configuration files are located in the '/etc/xos' directory. You can modify them as per your needs.

To start the XtreemFS server, run:

sudo systemctl start xtreemfs-server

To start the XtreemFS client, run:

sudo xtreemfs-fuse /mnt/mount-point/ -o "user=xtreemfs_user" "xtreemfs://server_ip:32638/volume_name"

Note: Replace 'server_ip' with the IP address of the XtreemFS server and 'volume_name' with the name of the volume you want to connect to.
