Installing Druid on OpenBSD

Druid is a high-performance, column-oriented, distributed data store that is designed to quickly ingest large amounts of data and provide real-time querying capabilities. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Druid on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we start, ensure that your OpenBSD system has the following software installed:

Installation

  1. Clone the Druid Git repository by running the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/apache/druid.git
    
  2. Once the cloning process is complete, navigate to the cloned directory:

    cd druid
    
  3. Run the following command to build the Druid software:

    ./mvnw compile
    

    This command will download all the necessary dependencies and build the software.

  4. Now, run the following command to start the Druid cluster:

    ./bin/start-micro-quickstart
    

    This command will start a single-node Druid cluster on your OpenBSD system.

  5. To stop the Druid cluster, run the following command:

    ./bin/stop-micro-quickstart
    

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed Druid on OpenBSD. You can now start ingesting data into the Druid cluster and use its real-time querying capabilities.

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!
