RE: [Arches] ElasticSearch in Production
Hi Adam, not sure about 1. Generally the ES development team gives ample warning when they make backwards incompatible fixes. From what I can see, most of the settings in the elasticsearch.yml file make sure that ES is running locally and with only one leg. ES is a very powerful system, but to use it to the fullest of it's capabilities, you will need to learn how to configure it a bit. We eg. have several ES nodes running (on different machines, separated froom the webservers) as a high availability cluster. That does involve some more configuration work. One thing to be wary of, with the default ES config (unless that has been changed by now), the nodes have a tendency to go and look for each other. I remember when my ES instance started syncing with a colleagues (without us realising). Easiest way to prevent that is to give your cluster a dedicated name (cluster.name in the config). You might also want to install the elasticsearch-head plugin that Arches also installs. I don't think any other plugins are needed at this moment. Anyway, in my opinion, running ES from within Arches is fine for development purposes. But for production I'd prefer to separate the two.

I have successfully installed ElasticSearch on Ubuntu outside of the arches environment so it will run as a service, and it was far easier than I was expecting... a pleasant surprise that makes me wary. To do so I began with a fresh Amazon EC2 instance, and I followed the normal arches3 installation steps. However, instead of running python manage.py packages -o setup_elasticsearch (which installs elasticsearch within the app itself) I followed these stepshttp://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html from the ElasticSearch webpage to install the current APT distribution of ElasticSearch on Ubuntu. After that installation, I was able to run ES as a service, and after finishing the arches-hip installation, was able to use the database and add/search resources (it works!). I have two questions: 1. I see the current ES repo is for version 1.5 instead of 1.4 which is used by arches3. Will this cause problems later? I assume I could install 1.4 instead of 1.5 if necessary. 2. I have not changed any of the default elasticsearch config settings. I see that the arches3 development installation has its own custom elasticsearch.yml file. Would it be advisable to change any default elasticsearch config settings on this installation to match those in the arches3 elasticsearch.yml file? -- -- To post, send email to archesproject@googlegroups.com.

Re: [Arches] Re: Signing in
Dear Piyush Welcome to the Arches community! I had a chance to look at the Building Mapping component of your project in Gujarat http://dicrc.in/Building-Mapping and can see that there is a vast wealth of traditional buildings that are being recorded. It will be great to see Arches used for their inventory.

Under that project we required to document and create a inventory of traditional vernacular buildings of Gujarat. For that I want to use arches as a inventory management app. I had started exploring Arches 3.0 and I had join this community for know more about it.

How about we all share a bit of background, just like we would if we were meeting in the real world? If that sounds good to you, reply to this thread and share with the group some or all of the following: * what is your interest in Arches? * where in the world are you working? and, just to make it a bit more fun, * what can you see out of the window? Is there any heritage in your view? I look forward to getting to know everyone a bit better! Ed -- -- To post, send email to archesproject@googlegroups.com.

Re: [Arches] Re: Arches 3.0 released!
Hi Adam, My install also works (http://cimbre.eu), I'm starting the inventory and the resulting customization this week I hope. Maybe we'll have the opportunity to exchange some views about the new challenges ahead. sexta-feira, 8 de Maio de 2015 às 17:16:47 UTC+1, Adam Cox escreveu: Glad it was helpful.

Just follow instructions like these: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-4-on-ubuntu-14-04 and then you can control it with: $ sudo service elasticsearch start $ sudo service elasticsearch stop $ sudo service elasticsearch restart It will automatically run, even after a reboot of your server.

Hi David, I also first tried installing those as the root user. Not sure if that's exactly what you mean by root privileges, or if you just mean with sudo, but when I did so as the root user (su root), the installation worked but I also had to run later commands from the root user account, and felt that that was not a great precedence to set. It seemed more prudent to do everything as the ubuntu user, hence the addition of the sudo commands to the ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh script. As for setting up with Apache, here are the steps that I recorded when I made a successful test of that process: 1. get apache2 and the mod -- $: sudo apt-get install apache2 -- $: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi 2. edit main apache2 config file -- $: sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf add the top arches app directory (crip is the name of my app): Directory /home/ubuntu/Projects/crip/ Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Require all granted /Directory 3. edit the sites-enabled conf file: -- $: sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default under VirtualHost *:80 add: #create daemon process: make path to app and to virtualenv python WSGIDaemonProcess arches python-path=/home/ubuntu/Projects/crip:/home/ubuntu/Projects/ENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages #make group for app WSGIProcessGroup arches #path to app wsgi.py file WSGIScriptAlias / /home/ubuntu/Projects/crip/wsgi.py 4. restart apache -- $: sudo service apache2 restart reference: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-run-django-with-mod_wsgi-and-apache-with-a-virtualenv-python-environment-on-a-debian-vps Hope that works for you!
