Installation
Configuring the Dag Repositoy
The following command will configure the dag repository on SME Server. EDIT NOT COMPLETE!
To create an entry in the database for the epel repository we open put the following commands in a terminal
window or in a shell window:
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set epel repository \
Name 'SME Server - epel' \ BaseURL 'http://<http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch' \ EnableGroups yes \ GPGCheck yes \ Visible no \ status disabled
To enable the changes:
signal-event yum-modify
Just to be sure, give yum a fresh start:
yum clean all
After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:
signal-event yum-modify
Installing FUSE
Download the smeserver-fuse RPM from http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/michaelw/sme7/FUSE
Install the package with all dependencies
/usr/bin/yum --enable=dag localinstall smeserver-fuse-*.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
Testing
To verify the installation mount a directory from a remote server you can access via ssh.
Installing the FUSE SSH Filesystem
/usr/bin/yum --enable=dag install fuse-sshfs
Mount a remote directory
mkdir /mnt/fuse-ssh-test sshfs <REMOTE_HOST_IP>:/var/log /mnt/fuse-ssh-test
When everything works you can see the log files of the remote server
ls /mnt/fuse-ssh-test
Cleaning up
umount /mnt/fuse-ssh-test rm -rf /mnt/fuse-ssh-test rpm -e fuse-sshfs
Uninstall
Unmount all FUSE filesystems.
Remove the base RPMs
rpm -e smeserver-fuse dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-sshfs
and the dependencies if no longer needed
rpm -e cpp gcc glibc-devel glibc-headers glibc-kernheaders kernel-devel
