How to Install LeoFS on OpenSUSE Latest

LeoFS is an open-source, highly scalable, distributed object storage system that provides a robust solution for storing and managing large amounts of data. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install LeoFS on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

• A server running OpenSUSE Latest with at least 4GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores.
• A user account with root or sudo privileges.

Step 1: Update the System

Before proceeding with the installation of LeoFS, it's essential to ensure that your system is up to date. Run the following command to update the packages on your system:

sudo zypper update

Step 2: Install the Dependencies

There are several dependencies that LeoFS requires for it to function properly. Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:

sudo zypper install gcc libtool libexpat-devel libexpat0 openssl-devel make automake autoconf git-core

Step 3: Download and Compile LeoFS

1. Clone the LeoFS code repository from GitHub with the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/leo-project/leo_storage.git
   

2. Switch to the leo_storage directory with the following command:

   cd leo_storage
   

3. Run the bootstrap.sh script to prepare the environment for LeoFS:

   ./bootstrap.sh
   

4. Run the configure script to configure the build options:

   ./configure --prefix=/opt/leofs
   

5. Build LeoFS using the make command:

   make
   

6. Install LeoFS with the following command:

   sudo make install
   

Step 4: Configure LeoFS

1. Create the LeoFS configuration files with the following command:

   sudo /opt/leofs/current/bin/leo_manager_0_0_1-admin.sh create
   

2. Modify the storage cluster configuration file with the following command:

   sudo vim /opt/leofs/current/etc/leo_storage_cluster.conf
   

   Replace the configuration file content with the following:

   [item1]
   # storage node IP address
   ip = 127.0.0.1
   
   # storage node port
   port = 10010
   
   # number of replicas
   replica = 2
   
   [item2]
   # storage node IP address
   ip = 127.0.0.1
   
   # storage node port
   port = 10011
   
   # number of replicas
   replica = 2
   

   Save and close the file.

3. Modify the manager node configuration file with the following command:

   sudo vim /opt/leofs/current/etc/leo_manager.conf
   

   Replace the configuration file content with the following:

   [manager_master]
   # manager node IP address
   ip = 127.0.0.1
   
   # manager node port
   port = 10001
   
   [manager_slave]
   # manager node IP address
   ip = 127.0.0.1
   
   # manager node port
   port = 10002
   

   Save and close the file.

Step 5: Start LeoFS

Start the LeoFS cluster with the following command:

sudo /opt/leofs/current/sbin/leo_start.sh

Step 6: Verify the Installation

To verify that the installation was successful, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:10010/leo_api/v1/manager.

You should see a JSON response containing information about the LeoFS cluster.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed LeoFS on your OpenSUSE Latest server.

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!
