LeoFS is a highly scalable, distributed, and fault-tolerant object storage system. NixOS is a Linux distribution built on functional principles that enables atomic upgrades and rollbacks. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install LeoFS on NixOS Latest.
Before we get started with the installation, you need to have the following prerequisites:
Before we begin, let's update the system to ensure that we have the latest versions of packages.
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
LeoFS is built on Erlang, so you need to have Erlang installed on your system. You can install it using the command below:
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.erlang
To download LeoFS, navigate to the official website http://leo-project.net/
Download LeoFS's binary file as below;
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/leo-project/leo_gateway/releases/download/3.3.3/leo_gateway-3.3.3.tar.gz
tar xzvf leo_gateway-3.3.3.tar.gz
cd leo_gateway-3.3.3
After downloading and extracting the binary file, you need to configure LeoFS.
./bin/leo_gateway configure
Follow the prompts and answer the configuration questions accordingly. Once the configuration is complete, LeoFS will be installed on your system.
You can start the LeoFS servers using the command below:
sudo systemctl start leofs-gateway
sudo systemctl start leofs-storage
sudo systemctl start leofs-manager
You can confirm if LeoFS is running by checking the status.
sudo systemctl status leofs-gateway
sudo systemctl status leofs-storage
sudo systemctl status leofs-manager
LeoFS uses various ports to operate, so you need to open these ports on your firewall. You can open the necessary ports using the commands below:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=8080/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=10010/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=10020/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
