Setup odigos in Ubuntu

#devops #opensource #beginners #ubuntu

Introduction

Welcome ๐Ÿ‘‹ to this blog. Did you want to use odigos on your Ubuntu machine but don't know how to start? Then this blog will definitely help you and it also helps you to understand the basic aspect of the odigos project.

Let's go.

Prerequisites

These are the prerequisites you need to install in your system to go forward in the process.

If you are missing some dependencies, then you can simply click on the link of dependency above and you will be redirected to the installation page of the Ubuntu. When all the prerequisites are installed correctly then you can proceed to the next step.

Step 1

Start minikube. To start the minikube follow this command minikube start

user:~$ minikube start
๐Ÿ˜„  minikube v1.31.2 on Ubuntu 22.04
โœจ  Using the qemu2 driver based on existing profile
๐Ÿ‘  Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
๐Ÿƒ  Updating the running qemu2 "minikube" VM ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then after successfully starting the minikube:

Deploy the application by running the following commands

user:~$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keyval-dev/simple-demo/main/kubernetes/deployment.yaml
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2

The next, step is to deploy the Jaeger, to deploy run these commands

user:~$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keyval-dev/simple-demo/main/kubernetes/jaeger.yaml
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Wait for some minutes or drink a cup of coffee until the application starts:

To check run these commands:

user:~$ kubectl get pods -n tracing
NAME                     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS      AGE
jaeger-b647d56b5-4j9l4   1/1     Running   6 (12m ago)   15d
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
user:~$ kubectl get pods -n default
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If everything is running then you are ready to go. Else you can drink coffee one more time.

Step 3

You can go to the release page then you can download the latest cli_1.0.53_linux_amd64.tar.gz (at the current time we have version 1.0.53).

  • Open the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T)
  • Navigate to the directory where the .tar.gz files are present.
  • Then run this command to unpack the files 
     user:~/Downloads$ tar -xvzf cli_1.0.49_linux_amd64.tar.gz 
odigos
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • After successfully unpack you can run the Odigos cli from the same directory. 
     user/Downloads$ ./odigos version 
Odigos Cli Version: version.Info{Version:'v1.0.49', GitCommit:'f517283', BuildDate:'2024-03-20T12:22:27Z'}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You will get the output like the above.

Then you need to install the Odigos and access the Odigos UI.

user/Downloads$ ./odigos install
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
user/Downloads$ ./odigos ui
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After installation, you will see output something like this

Downloading version 1.0.53 of Odigos UI ...
2024/04/10 19:07:10 Starting Odigos UI...
2024/04/10 19:07:10 Odigos UI is available at: http://localhost:3000
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now you can access the Odigos UI in http://localhost:3000.

Step 4

After this, you need to do some configuration. It's effortless and straightforward

  • Choose Source
    • In this step, you need to select all the applications.
  • Choose Destination
    • You can add Jaeger as the destination.
  • Create Connection
    • You need to choose the destination name as any name and the host as jaeger.tracing:4317

Step 5

Generating the data. Time to generate the data. But make sure that the collectors and application are ready. To make sure these commands

user/Downloads$ kubectl get pods -n default
user/Downloads$ kubectl get pods -n odigos-system
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To access the fronted application we have to do port-forwarding by running these commands:

user/Downloads$ kubectl port-forward svc/frontend 8080:8080
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And TADA you can access the fronted at kubectl port-forward svc/frontend 8080:8080

The only thing that is remaining is to click on the Buy button for some items.

Step 6 (Last Step)

View the trace. To view the trace we have to do port forwarding again to do so run this command

user/Downloads$ kubectl port-forward -n tracing svc/jaeger 16686:16686
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Go to http://localhost:16686/ and see the magic yourself.

๐ŸŽ‰ You nailed it

You have set up Odigos in your Ubuntu system.
