Installing Swift on OpenSUSE Latest

This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Swift on OpenSUSE Latest.

Requirements

Steps

Step 1 - Install Dependencies

To begin, we need to install the dependencies required for Swift. Open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo zypper install python-devel python-setuptools xfsprogs xfsprogs-devel rsync

Step 2 - Download and Install Swift

Swift is not available as a package in the OpenSUSE repositories, so we need to download and install it manually.

  1. Download the Swift source code from the official repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/openstack/swift.git
  1. Change into the swift directory:
cd swift
  1. Install Swift using the following command:
sudo python setup.py install

Step 3 - Configure Swift

  1. Copy the sample configuration files using the following command:
cp -r etc /etc/swift
  1. Edit the configuration files to suit your environment. The main configuration file is /etc/swift/swift.conf.

  2. Create a new user for Swift and set the appropriate permissions. For example:

sudo useradd -r -d /var/cache/swift -s /sbin/nologin swift
sudo chown -R swift:swift /etc/swift /var/cache/swift/

Step 4 - Start Swift

  1. Start the proxy server:
sudo swift-init proxy start
  1. Start the storage servers:
sudo swift-init object start
sudo swift-init container start
sudo swift-init account start

Step 5 - Verify Swift Installation

To verify that Swift is working correctly, you can use the swift command-line tool.

  1. Install the command-line tool using the following command:
sudo pip install python-swiftclient
  1. List all containers:
swift list

This should return an empty list if there are no containers.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Swift on OpenSUSE Latest.
