JuiceFS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships JuiceFS as a complete, working single node filesystem appliance, so the machine boots to a real, formatted, mounted POSIX filesystem with nothing to configure. Both halves of the filesystem are provided locally: a PostgreSQL metadata engine bound to the loopback interface, and a local object store, both placed on a dedicated data disk kept separate from the operating system disk and independently resizable. Nothing is formatted when the image is built: on first boot each instance mints its own metadata engine password and formats a fresh volume with its own UUID into a root only credentials file, so no two instances share a metadata credential, a volume identity or an object namespace, and no default login is ever baked in. A shipped self test writes a real dataset, proves the metadata engine holds it, drops the cache, unmounts and remounts, and verifies every byte reads back identical, with negative controls for a wrong password and for missing data. A paired deploy guide tested against the exact image shows how to use the filesystem and how to repoint it at your own object storage and metadata engine for production, and every instance is backed by 24/7 support.
