Step 3 - Configuring StackStorm

StackStorm uses MongoDB as our underlying datastore for the system, and we need to set up a MongoDB instance in our system.

1. Install MongoDB using the following command:

sudo pacman -S mongodb

2. Start the MongoDB service and enable it to autostart using the following command:

sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb

sudo st2ctl setup

4. After running the command, you will be prompted to configure the MongoDB connection settings. Choose the default option for MongoDB connection settings.

5. Next, you will be prompted to configure authentication for your StackStorm instance.

6. We can then start the StackStorm services as follows:

sudo systemctl start st2actionrunner
sudo systemctl start st2api
sudo systemctl start st2stream
sudo systemctl start st2sensorcontainer
sudo systemctl start st2scheduler
sudo systemctl start st2garbagecollector

7. Now we can access the StackStorm Web UI by navigating to the following URL in your web browser: http://localhost.
