SeaweedFS is an open-source distributed file system that is designed to store and manage large-scale unstructured data. It is an ideal solution for companies that need to store a large amount of data, as it enables them to store and manage data efficiently.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing SeaweedFS on nixOS Latest.
Before we get started with the installation process, you need to have the following:
To ensure that the system is up-to-date, run the following command:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Run the following commands to clone SeaweedFS from Github:
git clone https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs.git
cd seaweedfs
Now that you have cloned SeaweedFS, it's time to install it. Run the following command:
sudo nix-env -f default.nix -i seaweedfs
Open the SeaweedFS configuration file using your preferred text editor:
sudo vim /etc/seaweedfs/SeaweedFS.conf
Inside the configuration file, you will see the following parameters:
metaPath = /etc/seaweedfs/metadata
dataPath = /etc/seaweedfs/data
You can change the location of the metadata and data directories by changing the values of metaPath and dataPath, respectively.
To start SeaweedFS, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start seaweedfs
To verify that SeaweedFS is running, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status seaweedfs
You should see an output that says "active (running)".
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install SeaweedFS on nixOS Latest. SeaweedFS is an excellent option for storing and managing large-scale unstructured data, and it is relatively easy to install and configure on a nixOS system.
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!
