This is a guide for setting up Zookeeper on FreeBSD 10.

Prepare the Environment¶

• Make sure the system is up to date:
  

  pkg update && pkg upgrade
  

Install Zookeeper¶

• Install zookeeper:
  

  pkg install zookeeper
  

• Set the machine id:
  

  echo 1 > /var/db/zookeeper/myid
  chown -R zookeeper:zookeeper /var/db/zookeeper
  

• Create a config from the sample config:
  

  cp /usr/local/etc/zookeeper/zoo_sample.cfg /usr/local/etc/zookeeper/zoo.cfg
  

• Edit the zookeeper config:
  

  vi /usr/local/etc/zookeeper/zoo.cfg
  

  • And modify the config accordingly:
    

    # The number of milliseconds of each tick
    #tickTime=2000
    # The number of ticks that the initial
    # synchronization phase can take
    #initLimit=10
    # The number of ticks that can pass between
    # sending a request and getting an acknowledgement
    #syncLimit=5
    # the directory where the snapshot is stored.
    # do not use /tmp for storage, /tmp here is just
    # example sakes.
    dataDir=/var/db/zookeeper
    # the port at which the clients will connect
    clientPort=2181
    #clientPortAddress=192.168.1.100
    
    # specify all zookeeper servers
    #server.1=192.168.1.101:2888:3888
    #server.2=192.168.1.102:2888:3888
    #server.3=192.168.1.103:2888:3888
    

• Start and enable zookeeper at boot:
  

  echo 'zookeeper_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
  service zookeeper start
