Installation
From Releases
Download pre-built binaries from GitHub Releases:
# Linux x64
wget https://github.com/aerospike/absctl/releases/download/<version>/absctl-<version>-<arch>.tar.gz
# Extract
tar -xzvf absctl-<version>-<arch>.tar.gz
# Make executable
chmod +x absctl
Docker
Build and push a multi-platform Docker image:
DOCKER_USERNAME="<jfrog-username>" DOCKER_PASSWORD="<jfrog-password>" TAG="<tag>" make docker-buildx
Build a Docker image for local use:
TAG="<tag>" make docker-build
A single docker image, including both tools, will be created.
Usage example:
docker run --rm aerospike-backup-tools:<tag> absctl --help
Linux Packages
To generate .rpm and .deb packages for supported Linux architectures (linux/amd64, linux/arm64):
make packages
The generated packages and their sha256 checksum files will be located in the /target directory.
