steps:
- point repo to elastic 8.x
- apt install kibana/stable 8.13.1 amd64
- sudo to enroll to elastic-- seems to work ok
- ... seems like no config/ dir, mkdir + chown ... odd
- try again -- complaints about [logging].dest - errs out
- 1 day of searching, trying, fixing - reinstalling, etc.
Same issue as posted in these forums from years ago:
== Kibana remove/upgrade does not remove the old, WRONG kibana.service file from /etc/system
WTF?
Hope this helps someone -- remove or move /etc/systemd..../kibana.service to .disabled.
startup up (apparently) fine now. Someone please fix this old, long-lived silliness
