GlusterFS is a distributed file system that can scale out in cloud or any other commodity hardware environment. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing GlusterFS on Manjaro Linux.
Open the terminal on your Manjaro machine.
Update the package list by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S glusterfs
sudo systemctl start glusterd
sudo systemctl enable glusterd
sudo systemctl status glusterd
If it is running, you should see the following message:
● glusterd.service - GlusterFS clustering service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/glusterd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2021-07-25 00:18:32 PKT; 1min ago
sudo mkdir /etc/glusterfs
sudo chmod 755 /etc/glusterfs
sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /etc/glusterfs
tmpfs /etc/glusterfs tmpfs noatime,size=256M 0 0
sudo gluster volume create test-volume replica 2 transport tcp server1:/test-volume server2:/test-volume
sudo gluster volume start test-volume
sudo gluster volume status
If the status shows that the volume is up and running, then your GlusterFS installation is complete.
After following these steps, you should have a working installation of GlusterFS on your Manjaro machine. You can now start experimenting with its various features and functionalities.
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!
