How to Install Tsuru on Void Linux

Tsuru is an open-source platform as a service (PaaS) that facilitates the deployment and scaling of web applications to cloud infrastructure. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Tsuru on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A running instance of Void Linux
• sudo privileges
• curl and git installed on your system

Step 1: Install Tsuru CLI

The first step is to install the Tsuru command line interface (CLI) on your system. Follow these steps to install the CLI:

1. Open a terminal window on your Void Linux system.
2. Run the following command to download the Tsuru CLI binary:

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/tsuru/stable/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash

3. Once the binary is downloaded, run the following command to install the Tsuru CLI:

sudo dnf install tsuru-client

That's it! You have now installed the Tsuru CLI on your Void Linux system.

Step 2: Install Tsuru Server

Next, we will install the Tsuru server on your system. Follow these steps to install the Tsuru server:

1. Open a terminal window on your Void Linux system.
2. Run the following command to clone the Tsuru repository:

git clone https://github.com/tsuru/tsuru.git ~/tsuru

3. Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the tsuru directory:

cd ~/tsuru

4. Run the following command to install the Tsuru server:

make provision

This will install several dependencies required by the Tsuru server.

Step 3: Configure Tsuru Server

Now that the Tsuru server is installed on your system, you need to configure it. Follow these steps to configure the Tsuru server:

1. Navigate to the tsuru directory:

cd ~/tsuru

2. Run the following command to generate the configuration file:

make generate

3. Open the config.yaml file in an editor:

nano config.yaml

4. Modify the following settings in the config.yaml file:

• databases: Set the URL and name of your database.
• docker: Set the URL and port of your Docker registry.
• auth: Set the token-hash-salt and jwt-secret-key, which are used for authentication.
• admin-team: Set the name of the team that will have administrator privileges on the Tsuru platform.

5. Save and close the config.yaml file.

Step 4: Start Tsuru Server

The Tsuru server is now installed and configured on your Void Linux system. Follow these steps to start the server:

1. Navigate to the tsuru directory:

cd ~/tsuru

2. Run the following command to start the Tsuru server:

make run

This will start the Tsuru server and make it available at http://localhost:8080.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tsuru on Void Linux. You can now use the Tsuru CLI to deploy and scale your web applications to the cloud.
