Congratulations! You have successfully installed XtreemFS on OpenBSD. You can now use this distributed file system for various use cases, including distributed big data, scalable scientific simulations, or even for backup and recovery purposes.
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!
