OpenAFS is an open-source implementation of the AFS distributed filesystem. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OpenAFS on POP! OS Latest.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
Open a terminal window and run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot openafs-fileserver openafs-client openafs-dbserver openafs-krb5 krb5-config krb5-user
Next, we need to configure Kerberos authentication. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo krb5-config
Choose the option ``Kerberos realm and server default configuration'' and enter the name of your Kerberos realm. Follow the prompts to complete the configuration.
Now, we need to configure OpenAFS. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo afsconf-client
Follow the prompts to complete the configuration.
Next, we need to start the OpenAFS services. Run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo /etc/init.d/openafs-client start
sudo /etc/init.d/openafs-fileserver start
sudo /etc/init.d/openafs-dbserver start
Finally, we need to verify that OpenAFS is installed and working properly. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo fs checkservers
If everything is working properly, the command should return:
All servers running
All servers running
All servers running
All servers running
All servers running
