Etcd is a key-value store developed by CoreOS for distributed systems such as Kubernetes. In this tutorial, we will discuss how you can install etcd on Void Linux.
You need to have the following components in your system:
Before installing any package on Void Linux, it is essential to update the package database to get the latest versions. The following command will update the package database:
sudo xbps-install -S
We will need to clone the etcd repository from Github, so let’s install Git using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -y git
Now clone the etcd repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/coreos/etcd.git
To build etcd, we need to install Golang. Install it using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -y go
After installing Golang, we will build etcd. Navigate to the etcd directory, and build it using the following command:
cd etcd
./build
Now, install etcd using the make command:
sudo make install
After installing etcd, start it using the following command:
sudo systemctl start etcd
To check if etcd is running, enter the following command:
sudo systemctl status etcd
Now you have successfully installed etcd on Void Linux. You can use it to store key-value pairs in your distributed systems or Kubernetes.
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!
