How to Install Mesos on Fedora CoreOS

Apache Mesos is an open-source software system designed for managing computer resources in a distributed computing environment. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install Mesos on Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation, ensure the following requirements are met:

• A system running Fedora CoreOS latest version
• A non-root user with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install required libraries

First, we need to install some required development libraries on the system. Run the following command to install them:

sudo dnf install -y tar wget git curl gcc-c++ make python3-devel zlib-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel

Step 2: Get Mesos source code

Mesos is an open-source project, and the source code is available on the Mesos website. Visit the Mesos website http://mesos.apache.org/ and download the latest stable release.

Alternatively, you can run the following command to clone the Mesos git repository:

git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/mesos.git

Step 3: Build and install Mesos

After downloading the source code, navigate to the Mesos directory and run the following commands:

cd mesos
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
sudo make install

The make command may take some time to complete. Wait for it to finish before proceeding.

Step 4: Start Mesos

After installing Mesos, start the master and slave processes by running:

sudo mesos-master --ip=<ip-address> --work_dir=/var/lib/mesos
sudo mesos-slave --master=<ip-address>:5050 --work_dir=/var/lib/mesos

Replace <ip-address> with the IP address of the machine running the Mesos cluster.

Conclusion

By following the above steps, you have successfully installed and configured Mesos on Fedora CoreOS latest. Mesos is now ready to use on your system.

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!
