OpenAFS is a distributed file system that allows files to be shared across multiple computers over a network. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenAFS on Kali Linux latest.
Before installing OpenAFS on Kali Linux, ensure that you have the following:
We will begin by updating and upgrading Kali Linux before proceeding with the installation of OpenAFS.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
To install OpenAFS, run the command below:
sudo apt-get install openafs-client openafs-krb5
After installing OpenAFS, we need to configure it. Run the following command to begin the configuration process.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure openafs-client
A configuration wizard will launch, follow the prompts to configure OpenAFS. You will need to provide the kerberos realm and the AFS cell name.
We can now mount the AFS file system. Create a mount point directory where the file system will be mounted.
sudo mkdir /mnt/afs
Next, execute the following command to mount the AFS file system. Replace afs.example.com with the name of the AFS cell.
sudo mount -t afs afs.example.com:/ /mnt/afs
You can now access the AFS files from the /mnt/afs directory.
In conclusion, you have successfully installed and configured OpenAFS on your Kali Linux machine. This will now allow you to share files across multiple computers over a network without any hassle.
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!
