How to Install Kinto on OpenSUSE Latest

Kinto is a minimalist JSON storage service and this tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Kinto on OpenSUSE Latest. This guide will assume that you have OpenSUSE installed already and will walk you through the steps to get Kinto up and running.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Kinto on OpenSUSE, you need to install a few dependencies. To do this, open the terminal and type the command below:

sudo zypper install python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg-devel postgresql-devel

Step 2: Install Kinto

Once you’ve installed the dependencies, you can proceed with installing Kinto. To install Kinto, run the command below:

sudo pip install kinto

Step 3: Configure Kinto

After installing Kinto, you need to create a configuration file for Kinto. To do this, create a new file using the command below:

sudo vi /etc/kinto/kinto.ini

Paste the following code into the file:

[app:main]
kinto.includes =
    kinto.core
    kinto.plugins.authentication.BasicAuthAuthenticationPolicy
    kinto.plugins.storage.postgresql

kinto.storage_backend = kinto.plugins.storage.postgresql
kinto.cache_backend = kinto_redis.cache
kinto.cache_url = redis://redis_host:6379/0

pyramid.reload_templates = true
pyramid.debug_authorization = false

kinto.default_bucket = default
kinto.default_collection = data

[server:main]
use = egg:gunicorn
host = 0.0.0.0
port = 8888
workers = 4

[loggers]
keys = root, kinto

[handlers]
keys = console

[formatters]
keys = generic

[logger_root]
level = INFO
handlers = console

[logger_kinto]
level = INFO
handlers = console
qualname = kinto

You can edit the [server:main] section to reflect your desired settings. Ensure that you change the host and port values to reflect your desired IP address and port number.

Step 4: Start Kinto

To start Kinto, run the following command:

cd /etc/kinto
kinto --ini=kinto.ini start

Kinto should now be running on the specified IP address and port number.

Conclusion

This tutorial has walked you through the process of installing Kinto on OpenSUSE Latest. You now have a minimalist JSON storage service up and running on your system.

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!
