InfluxDB is a popular open-source distributed time-series database. It is a powerful data platform that can be used for various data-related tasks such as monitoring, alerting, analytics, and more. In this tutorial, we will take a look at how to install InfluxDB on Fedora Server Latest.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
Before we install InfluxDB, we need to update the system to ensure that all packages are up to date. Open up the Terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf update -y && sudo dnf upgrade -y
This command will update all packages on the system to their latest versions.
InfluxDB is not available in the default Fedora repositories. Therefore, we need to add the official InfluxDB repository to the system.
To do this, create a new file named influxdb.repo in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory with the following contents:
[influxdb]
name = InfluxDB Repository - Fedora \$releasever
baseurl = https://repos.influxdata.com/fedora/\$releasever/\$basearch/stable
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1
gpgkey = https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key
Save the file and exit.
Now that the InfluxDB repository has been added, we can install InfluxDB using the following command:
sudo dnf install influxdb -y
This command will install InfluxDB on your Fedora Server Latest machine.
InfluxDB should have been automatically started after installation. However, if it is not running, run the following command to start the InfluxDB service:
sudo systemctl start influxdb
To ensure that InfluxDB starts automatically after a system reboot, enable the InfluxDB service using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable influxdb
Finally, to verify that InfluxDB has been installed correctly, use the following command to check the status of the InfluxDB service:
sudo systemctl status influxdb
If there are no errors, everything is set up correctly, and you are ready to start using InfluxDB.
InfluxDB is a powerful data platform that can be used for many data-related tasks. In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install InfluxDB on a Fedora Server Latest machine. With InfluxDB up and running, you can now begin working with time-series data and start exploring its powerful capabilities.
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!
