Tutorial: How to Install Juju on Ubuntu Server Latest

Juju is a cloud orchestration tool that enables easy deployment and management of applications in the cloud. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Juju on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:

• Ubuntu Server Latest installed with root/sudo access.
• A valid internet connection to download and install the necessary packages.

Step 1: Install Juju

1. Open the terminal on your Ubuntu Server and run the following command to add the Juju PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:juju/stable

2. Next, update the package index and install Juju by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install juju

3. Once the installation is complete, verify Juju is installed by running the following command:

juju version

The command should return the version of Juju installed on your system.

Step 2: Configure Juju

After installing Juju, we need to configure it with our cloud provider credentials. In this tutorial, we will be using the MAAS (Metal as a Service) cloud provider.

1. First, log in to your MAAS account and generate an API key.

2. Back to your Ubuntu Server terminal, run the following command:

juju register <cloud_provider>

Replace <cloud_provider> with your cloud provider name, in this case, maas.

3. Next, add the MAAS API key to the Juju credentials by running the following command:

juju add-credential maas

4. Enter the MAAS API key and other required details to authenticate with the MAAS cloud provider.

Step 3: Deploy a Charm

Once you have configured Juju with your cloud provider, you can deploy a Charm to your cloud.

1. Run the following command to deploy a Wordpress Charm:

juju deploy cs:wordpress

2. The command will download and deploy the Wordpress Charm onto your cloud provider, along with all its dependencies.

3. Next, run the following command to expose the Wordpress Charm to the outside world:

juju expose wordpress

Now, your Wordpress website should be accessible via your cloud provider's public IP address.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Juju on Ubuntu Server Latest, and deployed a Wordpress Charm onto your cloud provider. Juju is a powerful tool that makes deploying and managing applications in the cloud a breeze.
