InfluxDB is a time series database used for storing and querying large amounts of data. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install InfluxDB on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before installing any new software, it is always a good idea to update your system to ensure that you have the latest security updates and bug fixes.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
To install InfluxDB on Ubuntu Server, you will need to add the InfluxDB package repository to your system's package sources list. You can do this by running the following command:
echo "deb https://repos.influxdata.com/ubuntu bionic stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/influxdb.list
This will add the InfluxDB package repository to your system. Once you have added the package repository, update your package sources list by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Now you are ready to install InfluxDB. Run the following command to install InfluxDB:
sudo apt-get install influxdb
After the installation is complete, InfluxDB will be automatically started as a service on your system.
By default, InfluxDB listens on port 8086. If you want to change the default configuration, you can do so by editing the InfluxDB configuration file. The InfluxDB configuration file is located at /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf.
sudo nano /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
Once you have opened the file in the nano editor, you can make any necessary changes to the configuration. When you are done editing the configuration, save the file and exit the nano editor.
To test if InfluxDB is running correctly, you can use the influx CLI tool. The influx CLI tool is a command-line interface that is used to interact with InfluxDB.
To start the influx CLI tool, run the following command:
influx
Once you have started the influx CLI tool, you can use it to interact with InfluxDB. For example, you can run the following command to check the status of your InfluxDB installation:
SHOW STATISTICS
This will display a list of statistics about your InfluxDB installation.
That's it! You have successfully installed InfluxDB on Ubuntu Server Latest. InfluxDB is now ready to use for storing and querying time series data.
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!
