KairosDB is a powerful time-series database that is capable of storing large amounts of time-stamped data. This tutorial will show you how to install KairosDB on MX Linux Latest.
Before you begin, you should have:
KairosDB runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Therefore, it is necessary to install Java first. Open a terminal and type the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This will update the package list. Next, install OpenJDK 8:
sudo apt-get install -y openjdk-8-jdk-headless
After the installation is complete, verify that Java is installed by running the following command:
java -version
This should output the version of Java that you just installed.
To download the latest version of KairosDB, head over to the official KairosDB GitHub page:
https://github.com/kairosdb/kairosdb
Click the green Code button and select Download ZIP. Alternatively, you can clone the repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/kairosdb/kairosdb.git
Next, navigate to the directory where the ZIP file was downloaded or where the repository was cloned. Extract the contents of the ZIP file or the repository using the following command:
unzip kairosdb-X.X.X-X.zip
Replace X.X.X-X with the version number of KairosDB that you downloaded. Alternatively, if you cloned the repository, navigate to the kairosdb directory.
Navigate to the conf directory inside the KairosDB directory:
cd kairosdb-X.X.X-X/conf
There should be a file called kairosdb.properties. Open this file using a text editor of your choice:
nano kairosdb.properties
Inside this file, you can configure various settings such as the database backend and the port on which KairosDB should listen. Change these settings as desired.
For example, if you want to use Apache Cassandra as the database backend, uncomment the following line:
kairosdb.datastore=org.kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.CassandraModule
Note that you will need to have Apache Cassandra already installed.
Once you are done configuring, save and close the file.
To start KairosDB, navigate to the root directory of the KairosDB installation:
cd ../..
From here, run the following command:
bin/kairosdb.sh start
KairosDB should now be running. You can check its status by running the following command:
bin/kairosdb.sh status
This should output the status of the KairosDB server.
You can now connect to KairosDB by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured KairosDB on MX Linux Latest. You can now use KairosDB to store and analyze time-series data.
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!
