Re: [Arches] Re: Help with design - server RAM issue?

[Colin Wu]

  Hi Adam,I am working Darryl and I was able to create some new nodes in the DB work only 1G RAM. The issue Darryl was running into was that elasticsearch was not restarting when the server got rebooted.   Seems, at least with Ubuntu 18, simply putting the command to start elasticsearch in rc.local does not work. elasticsearch says it refuses to run with root credentials. Making the elasticsearch script SUID some other non-privileged user doesn't help. “Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be, just be one.” -- Marcus Aurelius   From: mr.adam...@gmail.comSent: May 28, 2019 14:44To: ndevol...@getty.eduCc: archesproject@googlegroups.comSubject: Re: [Arches] Re: Help with design - server RAM issue?  Hi Nina and Darryl,Thanks for pointing out the broken link in the documentation. I'll put in a note to fix it.At the bottom of this section https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/arches-and-elasticsearch/#running-elasticsearch, you'll see the notes that the link originally linked to, which mention how you can direct elasticsearch to use just 1gb memory on startup. Really, I haven't done a LOT of testing with this configuration, so I'm unsure how well it will work. But when I tested in the past it was sufficient for viewing the front-end, etc. but I would expect that search/import-related operations will be compromised.Let me know how it goes! If things still don't work, I would personally be inclined to remove that note from the documentation.AdamOn Tue, May 28, 2019 at 12:32 PM Nina Devolder  wrote:Hi Darryl,Were you able to find a solution?

Per the installation documentation, it is possible to install and then design using only 1GB RAM as long as following Note 1 (https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/requirements-and-dependencies/arches-and-elasticsearch.html#notes). Unfortunately, this link is dead so I cannot check if I have everything set correctly.I'm no IT expert so any advice would be gratefully received.Thanks,Darryl

Re: [Arches] Re: Where is django configuration file my_project.settings

[Colin Wu]

  Thanks Adam. Aside from adding the 0.0.0.0:8000, one must also modify the AMLOWED_HOSTS parameter in settings.py toALLOWED_HOSTS=["*"]“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be, just be one.” -- Marcus Aurelius   From: mr.adam...@gmail.comSent: May 16, 2019 14:37To: archesproject@googlegroups.comSubject: [Arches] Re: Where is django configuration file my_project.settings  Hi Colin, trypython manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000(You can shorted 0.0.0.0 to just 0 in my experience.) You should then be able to access through a browser at :8000, as long as port 8000 is open.The message you see about settings is referring to my_project/settings.py.my_project.settings refers to that file as an imported python module, not as a "file" per se.

[Arches] Re: New install of 4.4.1 fails to install Elasticsearch

[Colin Wu]

Just a follow-up:

I did try the install again on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 VM and my last 
observation (at the bottom of this thread) was incorrect: You must upgrade 
pip (to version 19.1) AFTER activating the virtual environment (between 
steps 3 and 4 of the installation instructions). Seems no matter what 
version of pip you're running before activating the virtual environment, 
the virtual environment starts with the old version.

Re: [Arches] Re: New install of 4.4.1 fails to install Elasticsearch

[Colin Wu]

I think I've figured it out. *The trick is to ensure you upgrade pip (to 
ver 19.1) BEFORE creating the virtual environment (step 2 in the install 
procedure).*

So, Step 1.1 - do 'pip install --upgrade pip'

I did this doing this last install for Adam and was able to install 
Elasticsearch. Haven't gone beyond that yet, though ... :)
