Elasticsearch docker image
Did anyone manage to run elasticsearch docker image in Railway?
I created a docker image service from
elasticsearch:8.12.1
with the following env
but it keeps crashing with the following logs
It runs fine locally with railway run docker run elasticsearch:8.12.1
I have no clue how to get said logs as the container dies on exit and I can't mount a volume on another path than /usr/share/elasticsearch/data
Solution:Jump to solution
looks like the image wants a volume mounted at
/usr/share/elasticsearch/data

please send the full dockerfile you are using
Sure, I am using the official elastic search image: https://hub.docker.com/layers/library/elasticsearch/8.12.1/images/sha256-f9a807ef8f888a9d3f9ab680bbb8917869e66d30b3d2f086eca796545040a2fe?context=explore
Dockerfile: https://github.com/elastic/dockerfiles/blob/e15eb421da49ad627d48e5b3492948c76bcb8158/elasticsearch/Dockerfile
any reason why you are using a dockerfile instead of deploying the image directly? (I have never used elastic search before)
I am using the image directly
I think the solution is this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53097050/13735374 but I have no idea how to pull this up in Railway
you can't, is that needed?
I think so but I can't be sure as I can't access the logs when the container crashed after writing in the logs π₯²
why can't you mount a volume to
/usr/share/elasticsearch/logs
?When I do, I get this:
It somehow need a volume on
/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
to runset a service variable
RAILWAY_RUN_UID
to 0
Ok, it still doesn't work but I can move logs to the volume, I can investigate now π
progress!
Ok made some progress, it seems to be somehow related to volumes.
With no volume attached, it works fine.
When I mount a volume on
/usr/share/elasticsearch
, I get /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: line 49: /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-env-from-file: No such file or directory
Also, I still have the vm.max_map_count=262144 thing (https://discord.com/channels/713503345364697088/1206911735399849984/1207002891022372967) but as I understand from your previous answer, I cannot change it, right ? Any solution ?that's something railway would need to change on the host machine, realistically that's not going to happen
but yes you are mounting an empty volume to a path that contains files, thus the path now contains what's on the volume, aka nothing, so getting that no such file or directory makes sense
Solution
looks like the image wants a volume mounted at
/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
instead
