ArangoDB 1.4

comes with asynchronous master-slave replication. The new replication feature should make it much easier to create a backup from a running ArangoDB server. For example, a second ArangoDB instance can now be used as a slave by cloning all data from the master. The slave will be populated in the background while the master is running and accepting requests – not disrupting the master operations.

This is a follow to the post about ArangoDB 1.3 running on Raspberry PI. With the release of ArangoDB 1.4.0 I now tried to compile it again. As all patches required for 1.3 are part of 1.4.0 it is now much easier.

During the ArangoDB Hackathon weekend, we tried to compile ArangoDB on a Raspberry PI using Raspbian as operating system.

ArangoDB needs some external libraries in order to compile

• libev
• ICU
• V8
• zlib

Libev, ICU and zlib compiled without problems. Raspbian comes with a precompiled version of V8 – but it’s too old for ArangoDB. So, we had to compile V8 ourself. A single make run takes hours and hours to complete. Using the default parameters it complains about wrong flags for the hard-float ABI. After some googling and endless hours of waiting for the compile to complete, we found a set of..

How to use ArangoDB on Uberspace?

ArangoDB is (not yet) available on Uberspace. So how to use it? Basically Uberspace is a Centos 6 linux system, so you can use the executables provided. I’ve created a small shell script to install ArangoDB on an Uberspace system. Note that this is still experimental.

While the ArangoDB team is finishing the most wanted replication feature, there is another baby which needs our attention: Foxx.

Lucas, Jan, Frank and Michael have spread the word about Foxx and collected feedback from the community. Now it’s time for the next step: we will have our second FOXX hackathon on July 26th-28^th in Cologne – and you are invited to join the party :-).

A quick reminder: FOXX is a nice, little Javascript application framework on top of ArangoDB. Using Foxx, the frontend application speaks through Foxx with ArangoDB. No Node.Js/Rails/Symfony/whatever backend is..
