MooseFS is a distributed file system designed to handle large amount of data, making it ideal for big data processing and storage. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing MooseFS on POP! OS Latest.
Before you begin, you need to have the following:
Run the following command to add the MooseFS repository to your system:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://ppa.moosefs.com/moosefs-3/apt/$(lsb_release -cs) $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/moosefs.list'
The command will download and add the repository to your system. Update the package list with the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Run the following command to install MooseFS packages:
sudo apt-get install moosefs-master moosefs-chunkserver moosefs-client
This command will install the MooseFS master, chunkserver, and client on your system.
Open the MooseFS master configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/mfs/mfsmaster.cfg
Set the following parameters in the configuration file:
mfsmaster_workdir = /var/lib/mfs/mfsmaster
mfsmaster_port = 9419
Save and close the configuration file by pressing ctrl + x, then y, then enter.
Open the MooseFS chunkserver configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/mfs/mfschunkserver.cfg
Set the following parameters in the configuration file:
mfschunkserver_workdir = /var/lib/mfs/mfschunkserver
mfsmaster_host = localhost
mfsmaster_port = 9419
Save and close the configuration file by pressing ctrl + x, then y, then enter.
Open the MooseFS client configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/mfs/mfshdd.cfg
Set the following parameters in the configuration file:
localhost 1
Save and close the configuration file by pressing ctrl + x, then y, then enter.
Start the MooseFS master and chunkserver services with the following command:
sudo systemctl start moosefs-master moosefs-chunkserver
You can check the status of both services with the following command:
sudo systemctl status moosefs-master moosefs-chunkserver
Both services should be active (running).
Run the following command to mount the MooseFS filesystem:
sudo mfsmount /mnt/mfs
You can navigate to /mnt/mfs to access the MooseFS files and folders.
You have successfully installed and configured MooseFS on your POP! OS Latest system. You can now use MooseFS to store, manage, and process large amount of data.
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!
