[bmackiewicz]

Hi,

Which is latest stable version which I can install on ubuntu 20 ? I try install Riak KV in version 2.2.3 from repo but I get response from packagecloud with error status 402 Payment Required. Can you help me ?
PS. I do not want use the docker images.

Sorry, packagecloud is out of date, and we never setup a proper open source account following basho's demise.

Packages can be found here: https://files.tiot.jp/riak/kv/

3.0.6 is the latest version. To see history of changes, read from https://github.com/basho/riak/blob/develop-3.0/RELEASE-NOTES.md

Thanks a lot, I installed it, but now I have problem with setup my cluster, First I was run riak on 127.0.0.1 address, but after that I rename it into ip address, to can connect from another hosts. Now I have problem with start riak-kv. How I can remove old ring, or remove all data, to start from clean installation ? I need hardcoding ip address in config file or is some way to get dynamic IP address from machine where riak will be running. Probably you do not have documentation to 3.0.6 version and how setup cluster on version 3.0.6?

If you want to clear a node, clear the platform data directory (ring information is in the cluster_meta if you want to specifically clear this). The data directory is defined in riak.conf:

## 
## Default: ./data
## 
## Acceptable values:
##   - the path to a directory
platform_data_dir = ./data

I don't know of a way of being more dynamic about IP. I'm not sure if it would be practical to try and do something with reip.

Documentation for the latest version is a problem right now. New feature documentation is scattered about markdown files in the docs section of the repo. Old documentation is generally valid, but with some hidden deltas (e.g. riak admin not riak-admin). We do need to get the online documentation updated, I apologise that it isn't.
