InfluxDB is an open-source time series database that can process high volumes of time-stamped data. This tutorial will guide you on how to install InfluxDB on OpenSUSE Latest.
In this step, we'll install the necessary packages required to build InfluxDB from source.
To install the required packages, run the following command:
sudo zypper install git make gcc g++ openssl-devel
InfluxDB is written in Go, so we need to install the Go programming language on our system.
To install Golang, run the following command:
sudo zypper install go
In this step, we'll clone the InfluxDB GitHub repository and build it from source.
To clone the repository, first, change to the home directory by running the following command:
cd ~
Now, clone the InfluxDB repository:
git clone https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb.git
After the repository has been cloned, change to the influxdb directory:
cd influxdb
Now, build the InfluxDB binary by running the following command:
make
The build may take some time to complete depending on your system's resources.
After InfluxDB has been built successfully, start the InfluxDB server by running the following command:
./bin/influxd
The InfluxDB server should now be running. You can verify this by checking the logs:
tail -f ./build/logs/influxd.log
Congratulations! You have successfully installed InfluxDB on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use InfluxDB to store and query time-series data.
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!
