hive-fs

Distributed Peer-to-Peer Filesystem using OpenDHT and LibFUSE

Project: A Peer-to-Peer network implementation using Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE). Environment: A Docker container running Clear Linux with FUSE packages installed.

To run code:

• Build OpenDHT and install fuse3 on your system
• cd into the src folder
• make to build HiveFS
• Create a directory to be mounted
• Force FUSE unmount: fusermount -u [directory_name]
• Add group fuse if not already existing
• Grant yourself permissions using the command sudo usermod -aG fuse [username]
• Start a bootstrap node in a separate terminal using dhtnode -b localhost -p 4222
• Then run ./hive-fuse -f [directory_name] to mount your filesystem and connect to OpenDHT
• In a separate terminal, you can enter the mounted directory and test basic commands (ls, mkdir, etc.)

To generate Dockerimage:

# build ubuntu image
sudo docker build -t "hive_fs" .
# create and run container for docker image
sudo docker run -it hive_fs
