ArangoDB on Uberspace: Simplify Deployment | ArangoDB ’13
How to use ArangoDB on Uberspace?
ArangoDB is (not yet) available on Uberspace. So how to use it? Basically Uberspace is a Centos 6 linux system, so you can use the executables provided. I’ve created a small shell script to install ArangoDB on an Uberspace system. Note that this is still experimental.
Log in and execute
wget -O - http://www.arangodb.com/repositories/Uberspace/arangodb-1.4.3.sh | sh
During the installtion you have the optin to bind the server to an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, localhost, or unix domain sockets. Please note that – with the exception of domain sockets – everyone can connect to this socket. So, you should supply a password when using normal sockets.
This will create a folder “arangodb” with the executables and JavaScript files for ArangoDB. It also creates to shell scripts “arangod.sh” and “arangosh.sh” to start the server and the shell with the correct path. You can move these files into your “bin” folder.
[fceller@indus ~]$ ./arangod.sh
ArangoDB has been started. Please check the log file "/home/fceller/arangodb-1.3.2/var/log/arangodb/arangod.log"!
[fceller@indus ~]$ ./arangosh.sh
Please specify a password:

You should also consider adding a guide on how to add this to daemontools. Without it, you will have to launch it everytime the server reboots…and you don’t want that 🙂
@bitboxer:disqus should work that way on Uberspace:

Unfortunately doesn’t work for me 🙁 Can you help me with this? I would really love my favorite database run on Uberspace!
Can you post some details in https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=de#!forum/arangodb ? I’ll check asap.
I could start install it now, but when I try to start arangod I get these error log:

I have updated the script to 1.4.3 and verified that it works on Uberspace. Can you please check again?
i used the shell script on my uberspace-account and got this error in the log-file:
‘FATAL cannot start server: database directory is locked’
i noticed also that this database directory (in arangodb-1.4.1/usr/share/arangodb/js/apps) is symlinked to a non-existing directory:
databases -> /var/lib/arangodb-apps
Is there still a server running? Can you check with “ps”?
Can you check with the 1.4.3 version?
thanks! this is working for me.
what do you mean: with “ps”?
I just meant the unix command “ps”, i.e.
ps auxw | fgrep arangod
But as it is working now, no need to check 🙂
Is it possible to choose where to bind arango anew? I’ve chosen Ipv6, but it does not work for me so I want to choose localhost.
