InfluxDB is a high-performance distributed time-series database that is optimized for storing and retrieving large sets of time-stamped data. It is a popular choice among developers for its easy installation process and simple API.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing InfluxDB on Void Linux.
Before starting the installation process, you should have the following:
To install InfluxDB, you need to add the InfluxDB repository to your system's package manager.
To do this, open your terminal and enter the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S influxdb
This command will add the InfluxDB repository to your system's package manager.
With the repository added, you can now install InfluxDB by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S influxdb
This command will download and install InfluxDB on your system.
Once installed, you need to start the InfluxDB service to use it. To do this, run the following command:
sudo sv start influxdb
This command starts the InfluxDB service and enables it to start automatically at boot time.
To verify that InfluxDB is running, you can use the following command to check the status of the service:
sudo sv status influxdb
If the service is running, you should see output similar to the following:
run: influxdb: (pid 1234) 1s
With InfluxDB installed and running, you can now access it by visiting the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost:8086
This will open the InfluxDB web interface, where you can create databases, manage data, and create queries.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed InfluxDB on Void Linux. You can now start using InfluxDB to store and manage 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!
