Doozerd is a highly-available, consistent store for small amounts of extremely important data. It can be used as a distributed lock service, global configuration store, and more. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Doozerd on Alpine Linux.
Before installing Doozerd, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command to install the necessary packages:
apk add --update autoconf automake make gcc g++ protobuf-dev
This command will install autoconf, automake, make, gcc, g++, and protobuf-dev packages.
Now that the dependencies are installed, we can proceed with cloning the Doozerd repository from Github. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/ha/doozerd
This command will create a new directory named doozerd and clone the repository inside it.
After cloning the Doozerd repository, change your working directory to the doozerd directory.
cd doozerd
Next, we will build Doozerd using the make command:
make
The above command will initiate the build process and compile the Doozerd binary.
Once the building process is complete, we can run Doozerd. Run the following command:
./doozerd
This command will start the doozerd server on the default port 8046.
After Doozerd is running, it's time for us to test if it's functioning correctly. Run the following command to test Doozerd:
doozer -a 127.0.0.1:8046 set /test value
This command will set the key /test to the value value. If it runs successfully, you should see the message "OK" in the output.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and tested Doozerd on Alpine Linux.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Doozerd on Alpine Linux. Doozerd is especially useful for small amounts of important data, such as cluster configuration and job coordination. We hope this tutorial has been helpful for you.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
