In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing etcd on Linux Mint latest release. etcd is an open-source distributed key-value store used to store data across multiple servers. To get started, ensure that you have administrative privileges on your Linux Mint system.
Before installing etcd, we need to install some dependencies. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y curl tar
Next, we need to download etcd. Run the following command to download the latest release from the official GitHub repository:
curl -L https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases/download/v3.5.0/etcd-v3.5.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz -o etcd-v3.5.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, we need to extract etcd from the downloaded archive. Run the following command to extract it:
tar xzvf etcd-v3.5.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz
Now that we have extracted etcd, we need to move it to /usr/local/bin so that it is accessible system-wide. Run the following command to move it:
sudo mv etcd-v3.5.0-linux-amd64/etcd* /usr/local/bin/
Finally, we need to verify that etcd has been successfully installed. Run the following command to verify the version:
etcd --version
If the installation was successful, the command should output the version of etcd that you just installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed etcd on Linux Mint latest. You can now start using etcd as a distributed key-value store.
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!
