In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install ZooKeeper on Ubuntu Server Latest. ZooKeeper is an open-source distributed coordination system designed to facilitate easy synchronization across multiple servers.
Before you start the installation process, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
To begin, update your Ubuntu server with the latest security patches by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Next, navigate to the ZooKeeper download page at http://zookeeper.apache.org/ and download the latest version of ZooKeeper using the following command:
wget http://apache.mirrors.ionfish.org/zookeeper/current/apache-zookeeper-3.6.3-bin.tar.gz
After downloading the ZooKeeper tarball, extract it to the /opt directory using the following command:
sudo tar -xzf apache-zookeeper-3.6.3-bin.tar.gz -C /opt
Rename the extracted directory to something more descriptive using the following command:
sudo mv /opt/apache-zookeeper-3.6.3-bin /opt/zookeeper
Next, create a configuration file for ZooKeeper by copying the sample configuration file using the following command:
sudo cp /opt/zookeeper/conf/zoo_sample.cfg /opt/zookeeper/conf/zoo.cfg
Start the ZooKeeper service using the following command:
sudo /opt/zookeeper/bin/zkServer.sh start
To verify that the ZooKeeper service is running, execute the following command to display the ZooKeeper process:
sudo jps
The output should indicate the presence of the QuorumPeerMain process, as shown below:
QuorumPeerMain
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured ZooKeeper on your Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now proceed to integrate ZooKeeper with your application.
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!
