I'm trying to run ElasticSearch on Raspbian on my Raspberry Pi 3. After simply running sudo apt install elasticsearch
it installed A LOT of things, and then I tried sudo service elasticsearch status
, which gives the following result:
$ sudo service elasticsearch status
● elasticsearch.service - LSB: Starts elasticsearch
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/elasticsearch)
Active: active (exited) since Thu 2017-02-16 23:28:52 UTC; 1s ago
Process: 6022 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/elasticsearch stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 6063 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/elasticsearch start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
I don't really get what this active (exited)
means. I tried getting the ElasticSearch version, but that also failed:
$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200'
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9200: Connection refused
Does anybody know what is wrong and how I can proceed from here?
In the end I managed to get it running. I had to install Java 8
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-7-jdk
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
and set the memory maximum lower by opening /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options
and replacing
-Xms2G
-Xmx2G
with
-Xms256M
-Xmx256M
Restarting ES (sudo service elasticsearch start
) solved it for me.
