TahoeLAFS (Tahoe Least Authority File System) is a free and open-source cloud storage system that provides secure and decentralized storage for your data. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install TahoeLAFS on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation process, you need to have a running instance of OpenSUSE Latest and make sure that you have root or sudo privileges to install new packages.
Before installing any new software packages, we should update our system package database and upgrade our existing packages to the latest version. Open your terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and run the following command as root or use "sudo" to get root privileges.
sudo zypper update -y
TahoeLAFS requires some dependencies to work correctly. In this step, we will install all the required dependencies using the zypper package manager. Run the following command in your terminal to install the dependencies.
sudo zypper install build-essential python virtualenvwrapper python-virtualenv python-devel openssl-devel gcc libffi-devel libffi48-devel -y
Once the dependencies are installed, we can proceed with the installation of TahoeLAFS. In this step, we will use the pip package manager to install TahoeLAFS.
sudo pip install tahoe-lafs
Once the installation is complete, you should have a working installation of TahoeLAFS on your OpenSUSE Latest machine.
Before we can start using TahoeLAFS, we need to configure it. To initialize the Tahoe-LAFS node, run the following command.
tahoe create-node
This command will create a new Tahoe-LAFS node in the current directory.
To start TahoeLAFS, we need to run a Tahoe-LAFS service. This service will create a web interface accessible via the IP:PORT specified. To start a TahoeLAFS service, run the following command.
tahoe start
This command will start a Tahoe-LAFS service on your machine.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install TahoeLAFS on OpenSUSE Latest. Now you can use it to store your data securely and in a decentralized way.
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!
