Create binary files

[yasharne]

Hi I would like to use this exporter on a machine without an internet connection and I cannot use the docker image, is there any linux-amd64 binaries for this exporter?

Hi,

Currently there are no binaries for this exporter, but you can install it on the offline machine using pip or docker by following these steps:

Using pip

1. On a connected machine:

   $ # Create a directory to download the exporter and its dependencies
   $ # cd into the directory and download the exporter using pip
   $ # Then you can archive this directory and copy it to your offline machine and extract it there
   $ pip download rq-exporter -d .

2. On the offline machine:

   $ # Install the exporter using pip from the directory that contains the downloaded files
   $ pip install rq-exporter --no-index --find-links /path/to/dir

Using Docker

1. On a connected machine:

   $ # Download the image
   $ docker pull mdawar/rq-exporter
   $ # Save the image to a tar archive
   $ docker save mdawar/rq-exporter > rq-exporter.tar
   $ # Or
   $ docker save --output rq-exporter.tar mdawar/rq-exporter

2. On the offline machine:

   $ # Copy the image archive and load it
   $ docker load < rq-exporter.tar.gz
   $ # Or
   $ docker load --input rq-exporter.tar.gz
