Consul is a tool that provides service discovery, configuration, and orchestration capabilities in a distributed environment. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Consul on Ubuntu Server.
Before starting the installation process, it is important to update your system using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Now, download the latest version of Consul from their official website.
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/consul/1.10.1/consul_1.10.1_linux_amd64.zip
After downloading the binary, you need to extract it using the following command:
unzip consul_1.10.1_linux_amd64.zip
You need to move the extracted binary to the system path using the following command:
sudo mv consul /usr/local/bin/
To verify the Consul installation, run the following command:
consul version
If the Consul version is printed, it means that the installation was successful.
Now that you have installed Consul on your Ubuntu server, you can start using it for service discovery, configuration, and orchestration purposes.
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!
