I would like to deploy exo on my server

[MatthiasWanner]

Hello!

Congrats for this app!

My company would like to deploy the application on one of its servers to test it.

However, I can't launch it. According to the documentation, it is enough to use a docker image, but I think that some additional services are missing.

I have deployed dedicated instances of Mongodb, elastic search and mysql. The database is well created.

Here are my environment variables:

ElasticSearch container

ES_JAVA_OPTS=<automatic_string_generated_by_the_app>
cluster.name=exoplatform-es-embedded
cluster.initial_master_nodes=exoplatform-es-embedded
http.port=9200
node.name=exoplatform-es-embedded

ExoCommunity container

EXO_JVM_USER_LANGUAGE=en
EXO_JVM_USER_REGION=US
EXO_DB_TYPE=mysql
EXO_DB_HOST=<db_host>
EXO_DB_PORT=3306
EXO_DB_NAME=<db_name>
EXO_DB_USER=<db_user>
EXO_DB_PASSWORD=<db_password>
EXO_MONGO_HOST=<mongo_host>
EXO_MONGO_PORT=27017
EXO_MONGO_USERNAME=<mongo_username>
EXO_MONGO_PASSWORD=<mongo_password>
EXO_MONGO_DB_NAME=<mongo_db_name>
EXO_TOKEN_REMEMBERME_EXPIRATION_VALUE=1
EXO_TOKEN_REMEMBERME_EXPIRATION_UNIT=DAY
EXO_REWARDS_WALLET_ADMIN_KEY=<random_string>
EXO_ES_SCHEME=https
EXO_ES_HOST=<es_host>

The app is running, I have the message:

| INFO  | Server startup in 49194 ms [org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina<main>]

But I already have some errors 😱:

Finally, when I launch the app, I have a 503 page.

Could someone help me finish the deployment and/or tell me what service is missing for the application to work?

Thanks 😀

Hello @MatthiasWanner
Can you link which documentation you follow ?

To deploy our last community version, you can read here : https://docs.exoplatform.org/en/latest/GettingStartedeXoCommunity.html
In the documentation you have a docker-compose file provided, which load all necessary component (mongo, es, mysql, and nginx). You shouldn't have to launch it separatly.

Hello @rdenarie thanks for the answer.

I followed the link provided on the Exo websitewhich redirects us to the Docker image readme: https://hub.docker.com/r/exoplatform/exo-community.

I tested the docker compose method but locally it doesn't work.

exo-community-exo-1    | [ERROR] The external elastic search es:9200 was not available within 60s ! eXo startup aborted ...

in the es container:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: starting java failed with [137]
output:

error:

        at org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmOption.flagsFinal(JvmOption.java:119)
        at org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmOption.findFinalOptions(JvmOption.java:81)
        at org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmErgonomics.choose(JvmErgonomics.java:38)

        at org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmOptionsParser.main(JvmOptionsParser.java:86)

On my server, I think the problem comes from nginx container. I manage Docker with Caprover but the conf file content seem to be a problem

[rdenarie]

Hello, As I can read here (elastic/elasticsearch#45170), the [137] means that your es container was killed by something else (kernel OOM Killer).

Please check your available RAM memory before relaunching the docker-compose.

Hello @MatthiasWanner
Did you manage to start you eXo Community Server ?
