Typically people set up cronjobs for periodic tasks, but you can also use the @reboot keyword to set a task that will run whenever the server is rebooted. https://www.computerhope.com/unix/ucrontab.htm, specifically: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-execute-cron-job-after-system-reboot/ Logged in as the linux user who runs Arches (default user on AWS Ubuntu is ubuntu): crontab -e (choose your text editor) add this line to the bottom of the file @reboot /full/path/to/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch -d and that's it! Each linux user account has it's own crontab, which is run as that user. So, this is get around the permissions issues you were experiencing. I also have had trouble with ES permissions in the past, it happens when the auto-restart job in rc.local runs as root, but then later you try to start elasticsearch as ubuntu, and vice versa. Anyway, using crontab has made this much easier to handle.

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.com<mailto:mr.adam...@gmail.com> Sent: May 28, 2019 14:44 To: ndevol...@getty.edu<mailto:ndevol...@getty.edu> Cc: archesproject@googlegroups.com<mailto:archesproject@googlegroups.com> Subject: 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.

Arches was installed for me by a developer on Ubuntu on a VPS with 1GB of RAM. When trying to begin design by creating my first Class, I hit save and get the spinning wheel of death. 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.
