Ubuntu 16.04 - ansible-elasticsearch: stuck at "Wait for elasticsearch to startup"

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Ansible is stuck at "Wait for elasticsearch to startup" and just times out.
Setup is Ubuntu 16.04.02

Playbook:
- name: Install and configure elasticsearch
  hosts: localhost
  remote_user: 'deploy'
  become: True
  roles:
    - role: elastic.elasticsearch

With just a single variable:
es_instance_name: "node1"

I can't figure out what goes wrong.

Have you looked at the ES logs?

3

There are no logs. /var/log/elasticsearch is complete empty (no files yet).

4 
# systemctl enable elasticsearch
Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory

Something wrong with systemd.

5

I believe it;'s the same problem as:

Nothing is installed into system d, I am running into the same problem. I see no task that will take care of that either. It may be worth just adding to the playbook to do this?

6

Is there a workaround for this that someone could share to enable the service in systemd? I'm having the same issue and it is blocking me currently.

Add this to the task in /role/tasks/main.yml above "Wait for elasticsearch to startup"

- name: Debian - Ensure it's enabled on startup
  lineinfile:
    path: /etc/default/{{ es_instance_name }}_elasticsearch
    regexp: '^START_DAEMON='
    line: 'START_DAEMON=true'
  notify: restart elasticsearch

even with adding this block, still an issue. :frowning:

9

What error are you getting?

No this code wasn't tested by Elastic.

Fixed it. basically it didn't know which init script to execute. systemd or init.d
