Kibana on Linux Subsystem on Windows 10

Elastic Stack Kibana

Hi,
I have Kibana installed on LSW but I couldn't get it to start. There is no [error] on Kibana.stderr but this is printed everytime I start Kibana:

chroot: cannot change root directory to /: Function not implemented

How come about to solve this problem?

Hi Eric, I spoke with another Kibana engineer and he informed me that when Kibana starts up it uses chroot in its init script. Is it possible that Windows doesn't have chroot implemented? If so, then you could try not using the deb package and use the tar.gz instead. As an alternative, if Windows has systemctl implemented, you could try running Kibana with the command systemctl start kibana.service. Does this help?

Thanks,
CJ
