SeaweedFS is an open-source distributed object storage system designed to provide petabyte-scale storage that can be easily deployed on a wide range of platforms. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of SeaweedFS on OpenBSD.
Before we start the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To begin, we need to install Git and Golang packages by running the following command:
$ pkg_add git go
Next, we will clone the SeaweedFS repository from Github by running the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs.git
After cloning the SeaweedFS repository, we need to build the binaries of SeaweedFS by running the following commands:
$ cd seaweedfs/weed/
$ go build
After building SeaweedFS, we need to start the SeaweedFS master and volume services, which can be done by running the following commands:
$ ./weed master -mdir=./data -port=9333 &
$ ./weed volume -dir=./data -mserver=localhost:9333 -port=8080 -max=1 &
Once the SeaweedFS master and volume services are up and running, we can verify the installation by accessing the SeaweedFS dashboard.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://<server-ip>:9333/ui/index.html. Here, you can view the dashboard of SeaweedFS.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SeaweedFS on OpenBSD. Now you can start using SeaweedFS to store your data in a distributed, scalable manner.
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!
