Debian and Ubuntu client configuration
Along with our support for RPM-based Linux distributions, AuriStor supports platforms which use deb packages.
Configuration is slightly more manual than the RPM repo situation, but is still pretty easy. You need to know what distribution you're running, which you can check with lsb_release -c.
Here is an example for Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic)
Setup
To do a client install, two files are required:
* /etc/apt/sources.list.d/auristor-client.list
This is a mostly normal Debian/Ubuntu repository specification. You can specify a specific version (for instance, v02021.05) or go with the current recommended version ("recommended"). The file would thus contain a string like:
deb [arch=amd64] https://client-rpm-repo.auristor.com/filesystem/repo/recommended/bionic/ bionic client
or
deb [arch=amd64] https://client-rpm-repo.auristor.com/filesystem/repo/recommended/bionic/ bionic client
* /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/auristor.gpg
This is a binary gpg key file for the Auristor client library.
If you do not already have the key you can
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring gnupg-ring:/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/auristor.gpg --import AURISTOR-GPG-KEY-v1
Installation
apt update
apt install auristorfs-modules-dkms auristorfs-client
At this point, your system has an installed client. The installed service is auristorfs-client, so you can use e.g.
systemctl start auristorfs-client
and
systemctl status auristorfs-client
to check it; if you're happy,
systemctl enable auristorfs-client
and it will be started for subsequent boots.
Kernel updates will result in new modules being pulled in via dkms as needed.
