VictoriaMetrics is a high-performance, cost-effective, and scalable time-series database that is specifically built for processing large amounts of data. It provides advanced features such as data compression, query caching, and various data retention options.
Before installing VictoriaMetrics, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Dependency packages of the VictoriaMetrics project are Go and Git. Install them using the commands below:
sudo zypper install go

After installing, check the version of the Go which is installed on our system:
go version
The latest version of Go will be installed on your system.
Clone the VictoriaMetrics latest repository by running the command below:
git clone https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics.git
Once the repository has been successfully cloned, go to the VictoriaMetrics directory using the command below:
cd ~/VictoriaMetrics
Now, build the VictoriaMetrics project using the following command:
make build
The above command will build the VictoriaMetrics binaries, which can be found in the “bin” directory.
Once the VictoriaMetrics project is built successfully, start the VictoriaMetrics server using the command below:
./bin/victoria-metrics-prod
VictoriaMetrics will start and bind to port 8428. You can test the VictoriaMetrics server by visiting http://localhost:8428.
You have successfully installed VictoriaMetrics on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start processing large amounts of data with VictoriaMetrics, using its advanced features such as data compression, query caching, and various data retention options.
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!
