How to Install KairosDB on Windows 10

KairosDB is a powerful time-series database that is used to store and analyze large volumes of time-stamped data. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of KairosDB on a Windows 10 computer.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your Windows 10 computer:

Step 1: Download KairosDB

To download the KairosDB source code, go to the GitHub repository and use the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/kairosdb/kairosdb.git

This will download the KairosDB repository to your local machine.

Step 2: Build KairosDB

Once you have downloaded the KairosDB repository, navigate to the root folder of the project and run the following command:

.\gradlew build

This will build KairosDB from the source code.

Step 3: Configure KairosDB

After KairosDB has finished building, navigate to the conf folder in the KairosDB directory and open the kairosdb.properties file.

Update the value of the kairosdb.jetty.port property to the port number that you want to use, for example:

kairosdb.jetty.port=8080

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Start KairosDB

To start KairosDB, go to the root of the KairosDB directory and run the following command:

.\bin\kairosdb.bat start

This will start the KairosDB server on the port that you configured in the previous step.

Step 5: Verify KairosDB Installation

To verify that KairosDB is running properly, open a web browser and go to the following URL:

http://localhost:8080

If KairosDB is running properly, you should see the KairosDB web interface.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured KairosDB on your Windows 10 computer.

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!
