In this tutorial, we will be installing the Atomic Server on Arch Linux. Atomic Server is an open-source data management tool for the web, and we will be installing it from its GitHub repository.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
Git is a command-line tool for version control. We will be using it to download the Atomic Server from its GitHub repository. Open a terminal and run the following command to install Git:
sudo pacman -S git
Now that we have Git installed, we can use it to clone the Atomic Server repository. Run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/atomicdata-dev/atomic-data-rust.git
This will download the repository to your local machine.
There are a few dependencies that we need to install in order to compile and run the Atomic Server. Run the following command to install them:
sudo pacman -S make gcc binutils openssl pkgconf
We are now ready to build and run the Atomic Server. Navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository and run the following commands:
make build
./target/debug/atomic-data-server serve
This will compile and run the Atomic Server. You should see output similar to the following:
INFO atomic_data_server_abc123::endpoint - Listening on http://localhost:9000
INFO actix_web::server::builder - Starting 8 workers
To test that the Atomic Server is running correctly, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9000. You should see a message indicating that the server is running:
Atomic Data Rust Server is running! Try browsing to /about to get started.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and tested the Atomic Server on Arch Linux.
In this tutorial, we have walked through the steps required to install and run the Atomic Server on Arch Linux. This data management tool is a powerful addition to any web development stack and can help streamline data storage and retrieval.
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!
