OpenFaaS (Functions as a Service) is a popular framework for serverless applications, allowing users to develop, deploy, and manage functions in an easier and faster way. In this tutorial, we'll go through the installation process of OpenFaaS on Manjaro.
Before starting, make sure that you have the following tools installed:
If you don't have them already, you can install them easily through Manjaro's package manager.
First of all, you need to clone the OpenFaaS GitHub repository by running the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/openfaas/faas
This will download the OpenFaaS codebase to your local machine.
OpenFaaS can be easily deployed using Docker-compose. To deploy it, navigate to the cloned faas directory and run the following command to generate the Docker-compose file:
$ cd faas
$ ./deploy_stack.sh
This command will generate a Docker-compose file and deploy OpenFaaS stack using Docker-compose. You may see several logs as it downloads Docker images, but it should complete without any errors.
To verify the OpenFaaS installation, run the following command:
$ faas-cli list
If everything is installed correctly, you should see a list of functions available on OpenFaaS.
That's it! You have successfully installed OpenFaaS on your Manjaro machine using Docker-compose. From here, you can start developing your serverless functions and deploying them to OpenFaaS.
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!
