In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps necessary to install GlusterFS on Void Linux.
Before we begin, please make sure you have:
The first step is to make sure the system is up to date.
sudo xbps-install -Syu
This command will refresh the package repositories and upgrade all installed packages to their latest versions.
To install GlusterFS on Void Linux, we need to add the GlusterFS repository to our package manager.
sudo xbprs-install -S glusterfs
After the repository gets added, we can install GlusterFS.
sudo xbps-install -S glusterfs-server glusterfs-client
This command will install the GlusterFS server and client packages.
For GlusterFS to work, you need multiple storage nodes. We will be using one node in this tutorial.
Create a trusted storage pool with the following command:
sudo gluster peer probe localhost
This command will add the current node to the storage pool.
Now that the storage pool is set up, we can create a volume.
sudo mkdir /glusterfs
sudo gluster volume create vol0 localhost:/glusterfs force
sudo gluster volume start vol0
This command will create a volume named vol0 with the mount point /glusterfs. The volume will be on the current node.
You can add more nodes to the volume as needed.
Mount the GlusterFS volume with the mount command.
sudo mount -t glusterfs localhost:/vol0 /mnt
You can now use the volume as a regular file system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured GlusterFS on Void Linux. Depending on your needs, you can add more nodes and volumes to your storage pool.
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!
