etcd store Playground
A distributed, reliable key-value store for the most critical data of a distributed system.
Playground Parameters
💡 This is a single-node playground for etcd. To explore clustering capabilities, try the multi-node playground.
Use etcdctl to interact with etcd on the local host:
etcdctl version
etcdctl endpoint health
💡 Check out the official tutorials for learning more about etcd.
Configuring etcd
There are multiple ways to configure etcd:
- Configure environment variables in
/etc/default/etcd - Change configuration in
/etc/etcd/config.yaml - Use
sudo systemctl edit etcdto edit the service configuration (to use flags)
Configuration file
Uncomment the following line in /etc/default/etcd:
# ETCD_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/etcd/config.yaml
Then edit the configuration file.
Service configuration
When creating a systemd override, you can use this as a starting template:
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/etcd --foo=bar
The empty ExecStart= is important, otherwise systemd will attempt to run two instances of etcd.
After editing the service configuration, you need to reload systemd:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Check out the configuration reference for more details.
Restart the service for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart etcd
