How to Install LeoFS on Kali Linux Latest

LeoFS, also known as Leo Project, is a highly scalable, distributed object storage system. It is open source software and can be used to store large amounts of data across multiple nodes or servers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install LeoFS on Kali Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

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

• A running instance of Kali Linux Latest
• Root or sudo access to the server
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands

Step 1: Update the System

The first step in installing LeoFS is to update your system to the latest packages. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, we need to install some dependencies required by LeoFS. Run the following command to install them:

sudo apt install gcc g++ make automake autoconf libtool zlib1g-dev openssl libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libpcre3-dev -y

Step 3: Download LeoFS

Now, download the latest version of LeoFS from their official website using the following command:

wget https://github.com/leo-project/leo_project/archive/refs/tags/1.7.4.tar.gz -O leo_project.tar.gz

Step 4: Extract the LeoFS Tarball

After downloading the tarball, extract it using the following command:

tar -xvzf leo_project.tar.gz

Step 5: Building and Installing LeoFS

Change into the extracted directory and run the following commands to configure, build and install LeoFS:

cd leo_project-1.7.4/leo_storage
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

Step 6: Configure LeoFS Nodes

After installing LeoFS, we need to configure the nodes. Edit the configuration file using the command:

sudo nano /usr/local/leo_storage/conf/leo_storage.conf

Update the following parameters in the configuration file:

# IP address of the node
[ {storage_ip, “127.0.0.1”}, ],

# Port used by the storage node
[ {object_port, 10020}, ],

# Path of storage volume
[ {storage_data_root, “/usr/local/leo_storage/data”},	],

# Number of replicas to be maintained by the storage node
[ {replication_level, 3}, ],

Repeat this step for all the nodes in your LeoFS cluster.

Step 7: Start LeoFS Nodes

Finally, start LeoFS nodes using the following command. Replace N with the node number:

sudo /usr/local/leo_storage/bin/leo_storage start N

Repeat this step for all the nodes in your LeoFS cluster.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured LeoFS on Kali Linux Latest. You can now start using LeoFS to store and manage your data. For more information on using LeoFS, see their official documentation.
