Hi I wanted to install Orientdb (https://orientdb.com/) on a separate AppVM, so that I could only run it when needed. The Orientdb installation instructions does not work, as it is geared towards a normal Debian (or Fedora) setup. In particular, the /opt/ and /etc/ directories are copied from the template, and thus disappears after every reboot.
I therefore offer this advise (probably not optimal, but at least it works for me): 1. Create new AppVM (call it orientdb or whatever) from a relatively clean template. 2. Make sure that Java is installed on the template VM 3. See the installation instructions ( https://orientdb.com/docs/last/Unix-Service.html and especially https://www.hugeserver.com/kb/install-orientdb-debian8-ubuntu16/). Follow the instructions, but instead of copying the unzipped/untarred files to /opt/, put it under the user home directory (e.g. under /home/user/orientdb) 4. To install the service, follow the instructions as given, but replace /opt/orientdb with /home/user/orientdb: (a) Change the configuration file (orientdb.sh), but make the path wherever your orientdb is placed (NOT /opt) (b) Modify the service file (orientdb.service) as indicated. 5. After this, we have to diverge from the instruction: (a) Open /rw/config/rc.local file with root privileges in an editor (b) Copy the following into the file: --------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh sudo cp /home/user/orientdb/bin/orientdb.service /etc/systemd/system/ sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl start orientdb sudo systemctl enable orientdb -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- This will copy over the service config file and start the service every time the VM is started up. 6. Make sure the file is executable (sudo chmod +R /rw/config/rc.local) 7. Open your browser, and set the homepage to http://localhost:2480 8. Restart the VM. While this is probably not the best way to do it, at least it works, and will get Orientdb to run as a service when you start up the VM. I hope this will help someone else who also wants to experiment with document- and graph databases, and loves Qubes (obviously).
