ZooKeeper is a distributed coordination service that helps manage and synchronize distributed applications. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to install ZooKeeper on OpenBSD.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Follow these steps to install ZooKeeper:
First, download ZooKeeper from http://zookeeper.apache.org/. Choose the tar.gz file under the "Stable Releases" section, and download it to your server.
Use the following command to extract the ZooKeeper files:
tar -zxvf zookeeper-x.y.z.tar.gz
Replace x.y.z with the version number that you downloaded.
Go to the extracted folder and move the files to the location where you want to install ZooKeeper. In this example, we’ll assume that you want to install it in /opt/zookeeper.
cd zookeeper-x.y.z
sudo mv * /opt/zookeeper
ZooKeeper comes with a configuration file called zoo.cfg. Copy the default configuration file to a new file called zoo.cfg and edit it to match your system requirements.
cd /opt/zookeeper
sudo cp conf/zoo_sample.cfg conf/zoo.cfg
sudo vi conf/zoo.cfg
Change the data directory for ZooKeeper to store data.
dataDir=/var/lib/zookeeper
Use the following command to start ZooKeeper:
sudo bin/zkServer.sh start
ZooKeeper should now be running on port 2181. You can verify this by running the following command:
sudo bin/zkCli.sh -server 127.0.0.1:2181
This command will open a command-line interface to ZooKeeper. If everything is working correctly, you should see the following prompt:
[zk: 127.0.0.1:2181(CONNECTED) 0]
You have now installed and configured ZooKeeper on your OpenBSD server. You can use ZooKeeper to manage and synchronize your distributed applications. For further information, you can consult the ZooKeeper documentation on http://zookeeper.apache.org/.
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!
