Kinto is a Python-based key-value store that you can set up on your local machine for storing your data. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install Kinto on POP! OS Latest.
Before we get started, you'll need:
Firstly, to ensure that your POP! OS system is up-to-date, run the following command to update and upgrade the system packages:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Next, you'll need to install Python on your POP! OS. Run the command below to execute the installation process.
sudo apt install python3
After installing Python on your machine, you can now install Kinto by running the command below using the pip package installer:
pip3 install kinto
To verify that Kinto is installed correctly, you can first check its version using the following command.
kinto --version
This command should display the version number of Kinto if it was installed successfully.
Next, you'll need to create a configuration file for Kinto. To create the configuration file, run the following command:
mkdir ~/.kinto
echo '{"storage_backend": "kinto.core.storage.postgresql","storage_url": "postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/kintodb","cache_backend": "kinto.core.cache.memory","permission_backend": "kinto.core.permission.postgresql","permission_url": "postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/kintodb","cache_prefix": "cache","project_name": "Kinto","readonly": false,"batch_max_requests": 25}' > ~/.kinto/kinto.ini
Finally, start Kinto by running the following command:
kinto start --ini ~/.kinto/kinto.ini
This command will run Kinto using the configuration file created in step 5.
Kinto is now installed on your POP! OS system. You can now store and retrieve data using Kinto as your key-value store.
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!
