Loki is a horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by Prometheus. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Loki on OpenBSD.
Before installing any packages, it is important to update the system to ensure that all packages are up-to-date.
Run the following command in the terminal:
pkg_add -u
Loki is written in Go, so we need to install Go in order to be able to run it.
Run the following commands in the terminal:
pkg_add go
We need to install Git in order to download Loki from its repository.
Run the following command in the terminal:
pkg_add git
We need to clone the Loki repository to our server.
Run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/grafana/loki.git
Now we need to build Loki from source.
Run the following commands in the terminal:
cd loki/cmd/loki/
go build .
We need to run Loki in order to start collecting logs.
Run the following command in the terminal:
./loki
You can now access Loki by opening your web browser and going to http://localhost:3100
You have now successfully installed and run Loki on OpenBSD. With Loki, you can now store and visualize your logs.
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!
