Hello everyone, I have been tasked with setting up a self-hosted instance of ELK in a KVM environment using Arch Linux. The root filesystem is write-protected (at runtime) and any directories or files that services need to write to must therefor be sym-linked to another partition (/srv/ in this case). This is standard practice where I work and works well for other servies such as web-based applications and databases etc. My problem is that, despite having followed the [installation and configuration guides](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack/7.x/installing-elastic-stack.html), I am getting the following error when attempting to access Kibana. Multiple browsers tested - same result: ![firefox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/a/8a621141a869859d3cda038fe68c82e968663e24.png) I suspect that the error I'm seeing is very likely related to the write-protected root fs that my VM is confined to and I was wondering if anyone could perhaps suggest other directories or files (besides the ones mentioned below) that I should keep in mind... Here is an overview of the various sym-links crated for Elasticsearch and Kibana: - [Elasticsearch sym-links](https://pastebin.com/KGxph664) - [Kibana sym-links](https://pastebin.com/GUuma3c9) Here is the contents of my kibana.yml and elasticsearch.yml files: - [kibana.yml](https://pastebin.com/SDGEctGV) - [elasticsearch.yml](https://pastebin.com/PHsdctdh) Here is [the output](https://pastebin.com/LndL6Efu) of "netstat -tunpl", which seems fine to me. I also don't see anything unusual in "[/srv/kibana/log/kibana.log](https://pastebin.com/xpjYM6TT)" immediately after trying to access the web page. Also, nothing seemingly out of the ordinary in "[/srv/elasticsearch/log/hekseldaja.log](https://pastebin.com/WB0P4GaD)". In terms of systemd (journalctl) output I also don't see anything particularly unusual. - [journalctl -u kibana](https://pastebin.com/9aqSLe8J) - [journalctl -u elasticsearch](https://pastebin.com/QrbjUus0) [elasticsearch](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/elasticsearch/), [kibana](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/kibana/) and [jre8](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/jre8-openjdk-headless/) versions: ```auto pacman -Q |grep elasticsearch elasticsearch 7.10.1-1 pacman -Q |grep kibana kibana 7.10.1-1 pacman -Q |grep jre jre8-openjdk-headless 8.u292-1 ``` [Output from a variety of (possibly) relevant curl commands](https://pastebin.com/0eJvYr9W) on the VM. Thanks in advance for any helpful comments! ---

Unfortunately not. I've been spending the past week or so going over the official install guides with no success. ---
