KairosDB is a time-series database management system that is widely used for storing and querying large volumes of time-series data. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install KairosDB on the latest version of Ubuntu Server.
Before we start, make sure your Ubuntu Server is up-to-date and that you have administrative privileges.
KairosDB is built on top of Java, so you need to have it installed on your system. You can install the default JDK package by running the following command:
sudo apt install default-jdk
Go to the KairosDB GitHub page and download the latest stable release. You can use the git clone command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/kairosdb/kairosdb.git
Once you have downloaded KairosDB, navigate to the kairosdb directory and run the build.sh script to build KairosDB:
cd kairosdb
./bin/build.sh
This might take a while to complete, depending on your system.
After the build process has completed successfully, you can start KairosDB by running the following command:
./bin/kairosdb.sh start
This will start the KairosDB server, which will listen for incoming data and allow you to query it.
To verify that KairosDB is running correctly, you can open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/api/v1/version. This should return the version of KairosDB you have installed.
To stop KairosDB, run the following command:
./bin/kairosdb.sh stop
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install KairosDB on the latest version of Ubuntu Server. KairosDB is a powerful tool for managing large volumes of time-series data, and we hope this tutorial has helped you get started with it.
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!
