In this tutorial, we will be walking through the process of installing XtreemFS on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to add the XtreemFS repository to our system. To do so, open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo echo "https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/xtreemfs/void_mainline/x86_64/" > /etc/xbps.d/xtreemfs.list
This command will add the XtreemFS repository to the list of available repositories on your system.
After adding the repository, we need to update our package list to include the packages from the newly added repository. To do so, enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo xbps-install -S
This command will update the package list of your system.
Now that we have added the repository and updated our package list, we can finally install XtreemFS. To do so, enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo xbps-install xtreemfs-server
This command will install the XtreemFS server on your system.
After installing XtreemFS, we need to start the XtreemFS service. To do so, enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo systemctl start xtreemfs-server
This command will start the XtreemFS server on your system.
To verify that XtreemFS has been installed correctly, we can use the command line client "xtfsutil". To install the client, enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo xbps-install xtreemfs-client
After installing the client, we can verify the installation by using the following command:
xtfsutil ls dir
Replace dir with a directory path that you want to list. If XtreemFS has been installed successfully, you should be able to see a list of files and directories in the specified path.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed XtreemFS on Void Linux.
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!
