How to Install KairosDB on Arch Linux

KairosDB is a distributed time-series database built on top of Apache Cassandra. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing KairosDB on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before installing KairosDB, you will need:

• An Arch Linux installation
• Docker installed on your system

Step 1: Install Docker

To install Docker, run the following command in your Arch Linux terminal:

sudo pacman -S docker

Step 2: Start Docker

Once Docker is installed, we need to start the Docker service. Run the following command to start the Docker service:

sudo systemctl start docker

Step 3: Clone the KairosDB Repository

Now, we need to clone the KairosDB repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:

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

Step 4: Build the KairosDB Docker Image

After cloning the repository, navigate into the kairosdb directory using the following command:

cd kairosdb

Once you are inside the kairosdb directory, run the following command to build the KairosDB Docker image:

sudo docker build --build-arg BUILD_VERSION=1.3.3 -t kairosdb .

This will build the KairosDB Docker image and tag it as "kairosdb".

Step 5: Run KairosDB using Docker

Now that we have the KairosDB Docker image, we can run it using the following command:

sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 4242:4242 kairosdb

This will start KairosDB on your Arch Linux system and allow you to access it using your web browser.

Step 6: Access KairosDB Web Interface

Open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/

You should now see the KairosDB web interface. From here, you can create new databases and add data to them.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured KairosDB on your Arch Linux system using Docker.
