How to Install Doozerd on Debian Latest

Doozerd is a distributed system that provides a consistent, fault-tolerant data store. It was developed by Heroku and is available on GitHub. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Doozerd on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure that the following requirements are met:

• Debian Latest is installed on your machine
• You have root access to the system
• You have a terminal or command-line interface

Step 1: Install Necessary Packages

Before installing Doozerd, we need to install some packages. Open the terminal on your Debian machine and run the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install curl git-core

This command will update your Debian machine and install Curl and Git, which are necessary to install Doozerd.

Step 2: Install Go

Doozerd is written in Go, so we need to install Go before we can install Doozerd. We will use the official Golang release provided by Google.

1. Go to the Golang downloads page
2. Choose the appropriate version for your system
3. Download the archive file
4. Extract the archive file

You can use the following commands to download and extract the archive file:

cd /usr/local/src/
sudo curl -O https://dl.google.com/go/go1.16.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar zxvf go1.16.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz

You can replace go1.16.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz with the appropriate version for your system.

Step 3: Set Environment Variables

After installing Go, we need to set the environment variables. Use the following command to set the required environment variables:

export GOROOT=/usr/local/src/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

We have set the environment variables in the terminal; if you want to save these environment variables for future use, you can add them to the .bashrc file by using the following command:

echo "export GOROOT=/usr/local/src/go" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export GOPATH=$HOME/go" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Step 4: Build and Install Doozerd

Now we are ready to install Doozerd. Use the following commands to install Doozerd:

cd $GOPATH/src
git clone https://github.com/ha/doozerd.git
cd doozerd
make
make install

The above commands will clone the Doozerd repository, build it, and install it. After the installation is complete, you can start the Doozerd service using the following command:

sudo systemctl start doozerd

You can also enable Doozerd to start automatically at startup using the following command:

sudo systemctl enable doozerd

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Doozerd on Debian Latest. You can now use Doozerd to store your data in a distributed, fault-tolerant manner.

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!
