KairosDB is a powerful open-source time-series database with a scalable architecture. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing KairosDB on Void Linux.
Before installing KairosDB on Void Linux, you need to make sure that all the required dependencies are installed. Execute the following command in the terminal.
xbps-install -S unzip curl gnupg
Download the latest stable release of KairosDB from the official website or clone the repository from GitHub using the following command.
git clone https://github.com/kairosdb/kairosdb.git
Extract the downloaded archive and move the extracted folder to the /usr/share directory.
unzip kairosdb-<version>.zip -d /usr/share/
mv /usr/share/kairosdb-<version> /usr/share/kairosdb
Create a new kairosdb.properties file in the /usr/share/kairosdb/conf directory.
cd /usr/share/kairosdb/conf
touch kairosdb.properties
nano kairosdb.properties
Copy the following contents to the kairosdb.properties file.
kairosdb.jetty.port=8080
kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.host_list=localhost:9160
kairosdb.service.datastore=org.kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.CassandraDatastore
kairosdb.jms.enable=false
kairosdb.telnetserver.port=4242
kairosdbhttp.query_cache.cache_time=1
kairosdb.httpserver.response_gzip_enabled=false
kairosdb.httpserver.thread_pool.max_threads=250
Make sure to replace localhost in the kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.host_list property with the IP address or hostname of your Cassandra database.
Execute the following command to start KairosDB.
/usr/share/kairosdb/bin/kairosdb.sh start
You can check the status of the running KairosDB instance using the following command.
/usr/share/kairosdb/bin/kairosdb.sh status
You should see a message indicating that the KairosDB service is running.
You can now access the KairosDB web interface by using the following URL in a web browser.
http://localhost:8080/
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured KairosDB on your Void Linux system. You are now ready to start exploring its features and functionalities.
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!
