StackStorm is an event-driven automation platform that enables DevOps teams to operate at machine speed. It can help you automate repetitive tasks, streamline IT operations, and improve collaboration between teams.
In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps of installing StackStorm on POP! OS Latest.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
Before installing StackStorm, we need to install some dependencies that it requires:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl git python3-pip
StackStorm requires MongoDB as its database backend. To install MongoDB, run the following commands:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 0xd68fa50fea312927
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc)/mongodb-org/3.6 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
Once installed, start the MongoDB service and enable it to start on boot:
sudo systemctl start mongod
sudo systemctl enable mongod
StackStorm uses RabbitMQ as its message broker. To install RabbitMQ, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y rabbitmq-server
Once installed, start the RabbitMQ service and enable it to start on boot:
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
Now we are ready to install StackStorm. To do this, run the following commands:
curl -sSL https://stackstorm.com/packages/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --user=st2admin
sudo st2ctl start
sudo st2ctl reload --register-all
To verify that StackStorm is installed and running correctly, run the following command:
sudo st2ctl status
This should output something like:
StackStorm services status:
