Loki is an open-source log aggregation system that is optimized for Kubernetes environments. In this tutorial, we will cover the steps needed to install Loki on a Fedora CoreOS Latest environment.
Before we begin, you will need:
First, update the package index on your Fedora CoreOS latest instance using the following command:
sudo dnf update
Next, we will install Loki. Run the following command to add the Grafana package repository:
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://packages.grafana.com/loki/rpm/loki.repo
Then, install Loki using the following command:
sudo dnf install loki
To configure Loki, you need to edit the loki.yaml configuration file. Run the following command to open the file in your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/loki/local-config.yaml
In the configuration file, you will see different sections for configuring Loki. For example, you can customize the log retention period by adjusting the retention_period parameter.
After you have made all the necessary changes, save and close the file.
Now we can start Loki using systemctl.
sudo systemctl start loki
To verify that Loki has been successfully started, you can run:
sudo systemctl status loki
You should see a message indicating that Loki is running.
You have successfully installed Loki on your Fedora CoreOS Latest environment. If you encounter any issues during the installation, refer to the official Loki documentation.
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!
