How to Install OpenTSDB on Void Linux

This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install OpenTSDB on Void Linux. OpenTSDB provides a scalable and distributed time-series database for storing and analyzing large amounts of data.

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Installation

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Make sure your system is up to date and install the required dependencies:

sudo xbps-install -Syy
sudo xbps-install -y git autoconf automake gnuplot zlib zlib-devel 

Step 2: Clone OpenTSDB Repository

Open a terminal and clone the OpenTSDB git repository:

git clone git://github.com/OpenTSDB/opentsdb.git

Step 3: Build and Install OpenTSDB

Navigate to the opentsdb directory and run the following commands:

cd opentsdb
./build.sh

After running the build.sh script, you need to install tsdb by running the following command:

sudo make install

Step 4: Verify the Installation

Once the installation process is complete, you can verify that OpenTSDB is installed correctly.

First, start the OpenTSDB server by running the following command:

sudo /usr/local/share/opentsdb/bin/tsdb tsd --config=/usr/local/share/opentsdb/etc/opentsdb.conf

Now, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:4242. This should open the OpenTSDB web interface. You can use the web interface to create, retrieve, and analyze data.

Step 5: Configure OpenTSDB

To configure OpenTSDB, edit the opentsdb.conf file located in the /usr/local/share/opentsdb/etc/ directory.

You can change the default configuration settings to match your requirements. Once you have made the required changes, restart the OpenTSDB server by running the following command:

sudo /usr/local/share/opentsdb/bin/tsdb tsd --config=/usr/local/share/opentsdb/etc/opentsdb.conf restart

Conclusion

You have successfully installed OpenTSDB on your Void Linux system. You can now use OpenTSDB to store and analyze time-series data. You can also configure OpenTSDB to suit your specific needs.

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!
