Installing OpenFaaS on Manjaro

OpenFaaS (Functions as a Service) is a popular framework for serverless applications, allowing users to develop, deploy, and manage functions in an easier and faster way. In this tutorial, we'll go through the installation process of OpenFaaS on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure that you have the following tools installed:

• Docker
• Docker-compose
• Git

If you don't have them already, you can install them easily through Manjaro's package manager.

Step 1: Clone OpenFaaS GitHub repo

First of all, you need to clone the OpenFaaS GitHub repository by running the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/openfaas/faas

This will download the OpenFaaS codebase to your local machine.

Step 2: Deploy OpenFaaS using Docker-compose

OpenFaaS can be easily deployed using Docker-compose. To deploy it, navigate to the cloned faas directory and run the following command to generate the Docker-compose file:

$ cd faas
$ ./deploy_stack.sh

This command will generate a Docker-compose file and deploy OpenFaaS stack using Docker-compose. You may see several logs as it downloads Docker images, but it should complete without any errors.

Step 3: Verify OpenFaaS installation

To verify the OpenFaaS installation, run the following command:

$ faas-cli list

If everything is installed correctly, you should see a list of functions available on OpenFaaS.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed OpenFaaS on your Manjaro machine using Docker-compose. From here, you can start developing your serverless functions and deploying them to OpenFaaS.
