Setup

Source

To play with Discnt please do the following:

1. Compile Discnt, if you can compile Redis, you can compile Discnt, it’s the usual no external deps thing. Just type make. Binaries (discnt-cli and discnt-server) will end up in the src directory.
2. Run a few Discnt nodes in different ports. Create different discnt.conf files following the example discnt.conf in the source distribution.
3. After you have them running, you need to join the cluster. Just select a random node among the nodes you are running, and send the command CLUSTER MEET <ip> <port> for every other node in the cluster.

To run a node, just call ./discnt-server.

For example if you are running three Discnt servers in port 7711, 7712, 7713 in order to join the cluster you should use the discnt-cli command line tool and run the following commands:

./discnt-cli -p 7711 cluster meet 127.0.0.1 7712
./discnt-cli -p 7711 cluster meet 127.0.0.1 7713

Your cluster should now be ready. You can try to add a job and fetch it back in order to test if everything is working:

./discnt-cli -p 7711
127.0.0.1:7711> INCRBY test 0.1
0.1
127.0.0.1:7711> GET test
0.1

Remember that you can increment counters on different nodes as Discnt is multi master.

Ubuntu

First you need to add the key:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0x6f2a6e77ada5694c

And then add the sources:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:discnt/stable

Or add the following sources manually (change the release to your Ubuntu version):

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/discnt/stable/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/discnt/stable/ubuntu precise main

After this you can run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install discnt
