SeaWeedFS filesystem

Prerequisites

• Node.js and npm installed
• PostgreSQL installed
• SeaweedFS binaries downloaded
• Git installed

Project Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone [repository-url]

2. Set up the backend:

cd seaweedfs/back
npm install

Database Configuration

1. Create a PostgreSQL database:

CREATE DATABASE seaweedfs;

2. Configure environment variables:

• Create a .env file in the back directory
• Add your PostgreSQL connection string:

DATABASE_URL="postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/seaweedfs"

3. Initialize the database:

npx prisma migrate dev --name init

SeaweedFS Setup

1. Create a directory for SeaweedFS data:

mkdir -p tmp/data1

2. Start the SeaweedFS master server:

./weed master

3. Start the SeaweedFS volume server:

./weed volume -dir="tmp/data1" -max=1 -mserver="localhost:9333" -port=8081

Running the Application

Start the backend server:

npm start

The server should now be running and ready to accept connections!

Troubleshooting

• Make sure all required ports are available (9333 for master server, 8081 for volume server)
• Verify that the PostgreSQL service is running
• Ensure all environment variables are properly set
• Check that the tmp/data1 directory has proper read/write permissions

You're all set up! Feel free to enhance and customize the project as you like. I’ve provided the basic setup—now it's your turn to take it further! 😊
