Riemann is a powerful stream processing and monitoring system that is capable of handling massive amounts of data in real-time. It allows you to write streaming queries that filter, transform, and aggregate data before forwarding it to another system for storage or further analysis. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Riemann on POP!_OS Latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following:
Before we install Riemann, let’s update the package list and upgrade the system to the latest version:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
Riemann requires Java to run. You can install the OpenJDK version 8 with the following command:
sudo apt install -y openjdk-8-jdk-headless
Riemann can be installed from the official APT repository. To add the repository and install Riemann, run the following commands:
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:riemann-ppa/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y riemann
Once the installation is complete, you can start Riemann using the following command:
sudo systemctl start riemann
To verify that Riemann is running, use the following command:
sudo systemctl status riemann
If Riemann is running, you should see output similar to the following:
● riemann.service - Riemann
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/riemann.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Riemann on POP!_OS Latest. You can now start using Riemann to process and monitor streams of data. For more information, refer to the official Riemann documentation: https://riemann.io/docs.html.
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!
