How to Install Doozerd on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Doozerd on NetBSD. Doozerd is a highly available, consistent, and distributed data store for the coordination of distributed systems. It is developed by heroku and is available open-source on GitHub.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, you will need the following requirements:

• A NetBSD server with root access
• Git installed on the server

Step 1: Install Go

First, you need to install Go, which is required to build and run Doozerd. You can install Go by running the following command:

pkgin -y install go

Step 2: Clone Doozerd from GitHub

Next, clone the Doozerd repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ha/doozerd.git

This will create a new directory named doozerd in the current directory.

Step 3: Build Doozerd

Navigate to the doozerd directory and run the following command to build Doozerd:

make

This command will build the Doozerd binary and its dependencies.

Step 4: Install Doozerd

Now that the Doozerd binary has been built, install it by running the following command:

make install

This command will install the binary and the configuration file (doozerd.conf) in the /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/etc directories respectively.

Step 5: Start Doozerd

Start Doozerd by running the following command:

/usr/local/bin/doozerd -c /usr/local/etc/doozerd.conf

This will start the Doozerd daemon, which will be available for use.

Conclusion

That’s it! You have successfully installed Doozerd on your NetBSD server. You can now use Doozerd for the coordination of distributed systems.
