Tsuru is an open-source platform as a service (PaaS) that simplifies infrastructure management by automating deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Tsuru on Linux Mint latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, ensure that you have the following:
It's always a good practice to update the system packages before installing new software. To do so, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Tsuru requires several dependencies to be installed before we can start the installation. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install -y curl git software-properties-common
Tsuru uses Docker to run app containers. Since Docker is not available in the default Linux Mint repositories, we will need to add the Docker repository to the system, then install it.
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
After installation, start the Docker service and enable it to start automatically on boot:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Now that we have all the required dependencies, we can install Tsuru. Run the following commands to add the Tsuru repository and install it:
curl -sL https://packagecloud.io/tsuru/debian/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://packagecloud.io/tsuru/debian/$(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tsuru.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y tsuru-client
Tsuru requires some initial configuration before we can start using it. Follow the steps below to configure it:
The first thing we need to do is to set up a Tsuru target so that we can deploy our apps to Tsuru. Run the following command to add a target:
tsuru target-add default http://localhost:8080/
Next, we need to configure Tsuru to allow access to Docker. Run the following command to set it up:
sudo tsuru manage-user tsuru admin --admin
This command will create a user named 'tsuru' with admin privileges.
Now that we have configured Tsuru, we can start it using the following command:
sudo tsuru install
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Tsuru on Linux Mint. With Tsuru, you can easily manage infrastructure and deployment of containerized applications. Get started with Tsuru now and experience the benefits it has to offer.
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!
