Install jMeter in Fedora

/ jankka / Leave a comment

I was a bit surprised for Fedora not having jmeter in the repository, but then I thought I could as well do the thingy in the old way 😀

First of all, we need to get the release:

wget http://apache.mirrors.spacedump.net//jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-3.1.tgz

Then we need to extract it:

sudo tar -xzf apache-jmeter-3.1.tgz -C /opt/

After that, we create the symlink to the jmeter -binary:

sudo ln -s /opt/apache-jmeter-3.1/bin/jmeter /usr/local/bin/jmeter

And as last, we create a desktop shortcut:

vi ~/.local/share/applications/jmeter.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=JMeter
Comment=JMeter
Exec=/usr/local/bin/jmeter
Icon=/opt/apache-jmeter-3.1/docs/images/jmeter_square.png
Terminal=false

 

That’s it. We’re done 😀

 

Run docker without sudo in Fedora 25

/ jankka / 1 Comment

Sometimes things get weird. One could imagine that the documentation on docker (https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/fedora/) could be up to date. And when it comes to installation itself, it actually is.

The problem is/was that I was forced to run the docker with sudo (reasons are explained on both pages linked here, I’m not going to repeat them), and while both sites gave a solution, the docs.docker.com -instructions did not actually work. So I googled a bit more:
https://developer.fedoraproject.org/tools/docker/docker-installation.html

According to developer.fedoraproject.org, you’ll have to run the following two commands in order to get docker executed without sudoing.
Basically you’ll add a docker -group and add yourself to it.

$ sudo groupadd docker && sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker && sudo systemctl restart docker
 $ newgrp docker
