Installing VictoriaMetrics on POP! OS Latest

In this tutorial, we will be installing VictoriaMetrics on the latest version of POP! OS. VictoriaMetrics is a time series database and monitoring solution that is designed at storing and processing large amounts of time-series data.

Let's start!

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install dependencies

Before we get started with installing VictoriaMetrics, we need to install some dependencies. Run the following commands to install these dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install wget curl tar dpkg

Step 2: Download and Install VictoriaMetrics

  1. Download the latest version of VictoriaMetrics from the GitHub releases page using the following command:

    wget https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/download/v1.64.0/victoria-metrics-1.64.0.tar.gz
    

    Note: Replace the version number v1.64.0 with the latest version available on the GitHub releases page.

  2. Once downloaded, extract the archive using the command:

    tar -xzf victoria-metrics-1.64.0.tar.gz
    

    Note: Replace the version number v1.64.0 with the latest version that you downloaded.

  3. Move into the extracted directory:

    cd victoria-metrics-1.64.0
    
  4. Install VictoriaMetrics using the following command:

    sudo ./install-victoria.sh
    
  5. Wait for the installation to complete.

  6. Once the installation is complete, start the VictoriaMetrics service using the following command:

    sudo systemctl start victoria-metrics
    
  7. Verify that VictoriaMetrics is running by accessing the VictoriaMetrics web interface at http://localhost:8428/. If you see the VictoriaMetrics web interface, then VictoriaMetrics is up and running!

Step 3: Configure VictoriaMetrics

By default, VictoriaMetrics listens on localhost:8428, which means that it is accessible only from the local machine. If you want to access VictoriaMetrics from other machines or locations, you need to configure it to listen on a public IP address.

To do this:

  1. Locate the VictoriaMetrics configuration file at /etc/victoriametrics/victoria-metrics.yml.

  2. Open the configuration file using a text editor.

  3. Modify the listen address in the configuration file to 0.0.0.0:8428, which tells VictoriaMetrics to listen on all IP addresses.

  4. Save the changes, and exit the text editor.

  5. Restart the VictoriaMetrics service using the following command:

    sudo systemctl restart victoria-metrics
    

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to install VictoriaMetrics on the latest version of POP! OS. We have also seen how to configure VictoriaMetrics to listen on a public IP address. You can now use VictoriaMetrics to store and process your time-series data. Happy monitoring!

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!
