Goal
The goal of this blog is to setup Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File Storage – OCI FS , upload files into it through any FTP client such as Filezilla, You can upload terabytes of data and this is very much scalable and elastic, You can also access the uploaded files through the Compute Machines that are running.Also its easier that it needs no FTP Server to be installed
Create File Storage
In this case we will give name as cb1files
Select path as cb1files
Select our Generic Network that we had created earlier ( refer link )
Make Note of Ubuntu Commands or Linux based on the OS that you want this to be mounted, in my case i am selecting Ubuntu
Mount File System
ubuntu@cblogs2:~$ sudo apt-get install nfs-common Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: grub-pc-bin linux-headers-virtual linux-image-virtual Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them. The following additional packages will be installed: keyutils libnfsidmap2 libpython-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib libtirpc1 python python-minimal python2.7 python2.7-minimal rpcbind Suggested packages: ... ubuntu@cblogs2:~$ sudo mount 10.0.0.8:/cb1files /mnt/cb1files - Connection Timed out ...
Open the Following Ports 111 and 2048 to 2050 type TCP
Access the VMs security list and open the following ports 111, 2048 to 2050 by Editing the security list
Check if we can mount now
ubuntu@cblogs2:~$ sudo mount 10.0.0.8:/cb1files /mnt/cb1files ubuntu@cblogs2:~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 6.9G 0 6.9G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.4G 8.7M 1.4G 1% /run /dev/sda1 97G 2.3G 95G 3% / tmpfs 6.9G 0 6.9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 6.9G 0 6.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda15 105M 3.4M 101M 4% /boot/efi tmpfs 1.4G 0 1.4G 0% /run/user/1000 10.0.0.8:/cb1files 100G 0 100G 0% /mnt/cb1files
Create a new folder make ubuntu user to have full permission over it
ubuntu@cblogs2:~$ cd /mnt/cb1files/ ubuntu@cblogs2:/mnt/cb1files$ ls ubuntu@cblogs2:/mnt/cb1files$ vi myfile.txt ubuntu@cblogs2:/mnt/cb1files$ sudo vi myfile.txt ubuntu@cblogs2:/mnt/cb1files$ ls myfile.txt ubuntu@cblogs2:/mnt/cb1files$ cat myfile.txt Hello World ! ubuntu@cblogs2:/mnt/cb1files$ ubuntu@cblogs2:/mnt/cb1files$ mkdir ubuntufiles ubuntu@cblogs2:/mnt/cb1files$ sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /mnt/cb1files/ubuntufiles/ ubuntu@cblogs2:/mnt/cb1files$ sudo chmod -R g+rwX /mnt/cb1files/ubuntufiles/
Upload Files through FTP
Check this blog link for how to setup FTP Connection
Reality Check
ubuntu@cblogs2:/mnt/cb1files/ubuntufiles$ ll total 9 drwxrwxr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 1 Jul 6 10:35 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 ubuntu ubuntu 2 Jul 6 10:33 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 1293 Jul 6 10:35 Notes.txt
Making your mounted directory as Apache root
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/cb1files/ubuntufiles/
sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
# Directory /var/www/
# Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride None
# Require all granted
# /Directory
Directory /mnt/cb1files/ubuntufiles/
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
/Directory
sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
#DocumentRoot /var/www/html
DocumentRoot /mnt/cb1files/ubuntufiles
sudo service apache2 restart
Now you should be to directly upload your php files to the mounted storage volume
