How to Install Doozerd on Manjaro

Doozerd is a highly available, consistent, and partition-tolerant database for storing configuration data, metadata, etc. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Doozerd on Manjaro by downloading the source code from Github and building it from scratch.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your Manjaro machine:

• Git
• Go version 1.9 or later

Step 1: Clone the Doozerd Repository

To get started, open a terminal on your Manjaro machine and clone the Doozerd repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ha/doozerd.git

Once cloned, navigate to the newly created directory by running:

cd doozerd

Step 2: Build Doozerd

Now, we are ready to build Doozerd. Run the following command to build and install Doozerd:

go install ./cmd/doozerd

Note: This process may take some time, depending on your machine's resources.

Once the installation process has completed, you should be able to run the Doozerd server from the command line by typing doozerd.

doozerd

This command will launch the Doozerd server and output log information to your terminal. By default, Doozerd listens on TCP port 8046.

Step 3: Test Doozerd

After installation, you can test if Doozerd is running by running the following command:

echo "hello world" | doozer write /test
doozer read /test

This will write "hello world" to the /test key in Doozerd and then read it back out. If everything is working correctly, you should see "hello world" printed to the console.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Doozerd on Manjaro.
