KairosDB is an open-source time series database written in Java that is designed to handle large amounts of time-stamped data. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install KairosDB on macOS.
If you do not have Java installed on your macOS, you can download the latest version from Java SE Downloads. You can choose the OpenJDK version or Oracle JDK version as per your requirements.
The next step is to install Gradle. You can download the latest version of Gradle from the Gradle Downloads page. After downloading the binary distribution, extract it to a location of your choice.
The next step is to download the KairosDB source code from its GitHub repository. You can clone the repository using Git or download a ZIP archive.
git clone https://github.com/kairosdb/kairosdb.git
After downloading the KairosDB source code, navigate to the root directory of the project and run the following command to build KairosDB.
./gradlew build -x test
This command will build KairosDB and exclude the tests since they require an external database.
After building KairosDB, you can start the server by running the following command.
./bin/kairosdb.sh run
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install KairosDB on macOS. Now you can start using KairosDB to store and query large amounts of time-series data.
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!
