LeoFS is an open-source distributed cloud storage system that allows you to store and retrieve large datasets across multiple machines. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing LeoFS on Linux Mint.
Before we start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To download the LeoFS package, open the terminal and type the following command:
wget https://github.com/leo-project/leo_gateway/releases/download/leo_gateway-v1.4.4/leo_gateway-v1.4.4_linux_amd64.tar.gz
Once the package is downloaded, extract it using the following command:
tar -zxvf leo_gateway-v1.4.4_linux_amd64.tar.gz
To install the dependencies required by LeoFS, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install erlang-nox erlang-dev build-essential libc6-dev-i386 libncurses5-dev openssl libssl-dev
Once the dependencies are installed, navigate to the extracted directory using the following command:
cd leo_gateway-v1.4.4_linux_amd64/
Next, start the LeoFS using the following command:
./leo_gateway start
To verify that LeoFS is successfully installed and running, open a web browser and enter the following URL:
http://localhost:8080
You should see the LeoFS admin page.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the process of installing LeoFS on Linux Mint. Now that LeoFS is installed and running, you can start storing and retrieving data across multiple servers. Congratulations!
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!
