XtreemFS is a distributed file system designed to provide a unified namespace and access to storage resources across multiple locations. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps needed to install XtreemFS on the latest version of OpenSUSE.
Before you can install XtreemFS, you need to install the required packages. Open the Terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper install xtreemfs-server xtreemfs-client xtreemfs-tools
This command will install the XtreemFS server, client, and tools on your OpenSUSE system.
Once you have installed the required packages, you will need to configure the XtreemFS server. To do this, open the Terminal and run the following command:
sudo mkfs.xtreemfs --dir-config myconfigdir --listen-address <server-ip>
Replace <server-ip> with the IP address of your server. This command will create a new configuration directory named myconfigdir and configure the XtreemFS server to listen on the specified IP address.
To start the XtreemFS server, open the Terminal and run the following command:
sudo service xtreemfs-server start
This command will start the XtreemFS server.
To mount the XtreemFS volume on your OpenSUSE system, open the Terminal and run the following command:
sudo mount.xtreemfs <server-ip>/<volume-name> /mnt/mount-point
Replace <server-ip> with the IP address of your server and <volume-name> with the name of the XtreemFS volume you want to mount. Also, replace /mnt/mount-point with the directory you want to use as the mount point.
Once you have mounted the XtreemFS volume, you can access it like any other file system. For example, you can use the ls command to list the files in the XtreemFS volume:
ls /mnt/mount-point
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured XtreemFS on the latest version of OpenSUSE. Now you can use XtreemFS to provide a unified namespace and access to storage resources across multiple locations.
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!
