Etcd is a distributed, reliable key-value store used for shared configuration and service discovery. It provides a way to store configuration data as well as coordinate work across distributed systems. This tutorial will show you step by step how to install etcd on POP! OS.
Before you can install etcd, you must first install Go. To do this, open a terminal and type the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install golang
This will install the latest version of Go on your system.
To install etcd, you must first download the latest release from GitHub. You can do this by typing the following command into your terminal:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases/download/v3.4.14/etcd-v3.4.14-linux-amd64.tar.gz -o etcd-v3.4.14-linux-amd64.tar.gz
This will download the latest release of etcd to your system.
Next, extract the tar file with the following command:
sudo tar xzvf etcd-v3.4.14-linux-amd64.tar.gz
This will extract the etcd files to a directory called etcd-v3.4.14-linux-amd64.
To make etcd available to all users on your system, you need to move the etcd binary to the /usr/local/bin directory. To do this, type the following command into your terminal:
sudo mv etcd-v3.4.14-linux-amd64/etcd /usr/local/bin
To verify that etcd has been installed correctly, type the following command into your terminal:
etcd --version
This should return the version number of etcd you just installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed etcd on POP! OS. Etcd is an essential tool for distributed systems, and now that you have it installed, you can begin using it to store your configuration data and coordinate work across your network.
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!
