How to Install KairosDB on NetBSD
KairosDB is a scalable, distributed, time-series database that is capable of handling large amounts of data. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of KairosDB on NetBSD.
Prerequisites
Before we start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
- A running instance of NetBSD
- Root access to the server
Step 1: Install OpenJDK
KairosDB is built on top of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Therefore, you must have OpenJDK installed on your system. Run the following command to install OpenJDK:
pkgin install openjdk8
Step 2: Install Apache Cassandra
KairosDB uses Apache Cassandra as a backend storage, so we will need to install Cassandra first. Run the following command:
pkgin install cassandra
Once the installation is complete, you can start the Cassandra service by running the following command:
service cassandra start
Step 3: Install KairosDB
We will now install KairosDB. Run the following command to clone the KairosDB repository:
git clone https://github.com/kairosdb/kairosdb.git
Navigate to the cloned directory and build the project using the following command:
cd kairosdb
./gradlew clean build
After the build process is completed, you can find the KairosDB binary package in build/libs directory. Copy the package to your desired location and extract it using the following command:
tar -xvf <kairosdb-tgz-file>
Step 4: Configure KairosDB
In the extracted directory, you will find a conf directory. Open the configuration file kairosdb.properties in your favorite text editor:
cd kairosdb/conf
vi kairosdb.properties
Update the following properties to match your Cassandra setup:
kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.host_list=localhost:9160
kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.keyspace=kairosdb
Step 5: Start KairosDB
You can now start KairosDB using the following command:
./bin/kairosdb.sh start
You can check the status of the KairosDB server using the following command:
./bin/kairosdb.sh status
Conclusion
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install KairosDB on NetBSD. You can now start using KairosDB to store and analyze your time-series data.
