Installing LeoFS on Void Linux

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing LeoFS on Void Linux. LeoFS is an open source distributed object storage system designed for the web and cloud applications.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need:

• A running instance of Void Linux
• Root access or the ability to run commands with sudo

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing LeoFS, we need to install some dependencies:

sudo xbps-install gcc glibc-devel erlang

Step 2: Download and Extract LeoFS

Go to the LeoFS homepage and download the latest version of LeoFS.

wget https://github.com/leo-project/leofs/releases/download/1.4.5/leofs-1.4.5.tar.gz
tar -xvf leofs-1.4.5.tar.gz
cd leofs-1.4.5

Step 3: Install LeoFS

Now that we have the LeoFS source code extracted, we can build and install it:

./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install

Step 4: Start LeoFS

To start LeoFS, run the following command:

sudo leofs-adm start

You should now be able to access LeoFS at http://localhost:8080.

Step 5: Configure LeoFS

By default, LeoFS should work out of the box. However, you can modify its configuration by updating the leo_storage.conf or leo_gateway.conf files located in the leo_storage or leo_gateway directories respectively.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed LeoFS on Void Linux! You can now use LeoFS to store and manage your 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!
