MooseFS is a highly scalable and fault-tolerant distributed file system designed to run on commodity hardware. It can handle petabytes of data and hundreds of nodes, making it ideal for big data and cloud storage applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of MooseFS on OpenSUSE Latest.
First, we need to add the MooseFS repository to our system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo zypper ar https://ppa.moosefs.com/archive/moosefs-3.0/opensuse/latest/ moosefs
This command will add the MooseFS repository to your system and refresh the package index.
Next, we will install the MooseFS master server. Run the following command to install it:
sudo zypper in moosefs-master
This will install MooseFS master server on your system.
After installation, we need to configure the MooseFS master server. The configuration file is located at /etc/mfs/mfsmaster.cfg. Open it with your favorite text editor, and modify the following settings:
mfsmaster_workdir - set the working directory for the master server. The default is /var/lib/mfs.mfschunkserver_bindaddr - set the IP address for the chunk servers to connect to the master server. The default is 0.0.0.0.mfschunkserver_port - set the port number for the chunk servers to connect to the master server. The default is 9422.Save and close the configuration file when you're done.
Now, start the MooseFS master server service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start moosefs-master
This will start the MooseFS master server service.
Next, we will install the MooseFS chunk server. Run the following command to install it:
sudo zypper in moosefs-chunkserver
This will install the MooseFS chunk server on your system.
After installation, we need to configure the MooseFS chunk server. The configuration file is located at /etc/mfs/mfschunkserver.cfg. Open it with your favorite text editor, and modify the following settings:
mfsmaster_host - set the IP address for the master server. The default is 127.0.0.1.mfsmaster_port - set the port number for the master server. The default is 9419.Save and close the configuration file when you're done.
Now, start the MooseFS chunk server service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start moosefs-chunkserver
This will start the MooseFS chunk server service.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured MooseFS on OpenSUSE Latest. To test if everything is working, you can run the following command to check the MooseFS status:
sudo mfsdiag status
It should display information about the MooseFS system, including the master server and chunk servers.
MooseFS is a powerful and scalable distributed file system that can handle massive amount of data. In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure it on OpenSUSE Latest. We hope that you find it helpful and that you can start to explore the advantages of MooseFS in your environment.
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!
