I'm hosting Rundeck in AWS ECS Fargate - docker image v5.2.0. It runs successfully but I see in the start-up logs a Warning message:
May 28, 2024 at 17:16 (UTC+1:00) [2024-05-28T16:16:15,238] WARN rundeckapp.BootStrap - Running in cluster mode without rundeck.primaryServerId set. Please set rundeck.primaryServerId to the UUID of the primary server in the cluster rundeck

(surprisingly that UUID always remains the same, even when I change the docker image or change the number of containers from 1 to 2)
I see that the property rundeck.clusterMode.enabled=true in rundeck-config.properties file but I can't find (or there isn't one) environment variable, unlike many other configuration options in Rundeck, to set the clusterMode to false.
I also tried to look at whether ECS Fargate supports something like a postStart hook, like in k8s, but apparently, that feature has been requested (https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/952) but is not yet available.
How could I achieve this? Looking at it just from the ECS point of view, I need to modify a file in the ECS Fargate container after the ECS task runs successfully.
TIA!
That doesn't affect the single instance mode (it's considered a "single node cluster instance").
But if you need to set that property to false, rebuild the image using the Remco template like this answer (based on this doc entry):
In this case the rundeck-config-extra.properties will include this:
rundeck.clusterMode.enabled={{ getv("/rundeck/clusterMode/enabled", "false") }}
Build the image: docker compose build
And then, deploy it: docker compose up
So, the initialization must omit the cluster mode message:
