Gearman is a popular job server that allows you to distribute tasks across multiple machines. If you're looking to install Gearman on Arch Linux, then you've come to the right place. In this tutorial, we will show you step-by-step how to install Gearman on Arch Linux.
Before we can start installing Gearman, we need to make sure that our system is up-to-date. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update your system to the latest version.
Now that our system is up-to-date, we can proceed to install Gearman. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S gearmand
This will install Gearman on your Arch Linux system.
Gearman runs as a daemon on your system, so we need to start the service before we can use it. To start the Gearman service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start gearman.service
To verify that Gearman is running correctly, we can check the status of the Gearman service. To do this, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status gearman.service
If Gearman is running correctly, you should see a message indicating that the service is active.
Finally, we can test Gearman by creating a simple worker and client. First, open a terminal window and run the following command to create a Gearman worker:
gearman -w -f example_job localhost
This will start a Gearman worker that listens for a job called "example_job".
Next, open another terminal window and run the following command to create a Gearman client:
gearman -f example_job -n -1 localhost
This will submit a job called "example_job" to Gearman and wait for the result. If everything is working correctly, you should see the output of the worker in the client terminal.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Gearman on Arch Linux!
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!
