Service does not start under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[frne]

Maybe, this is just a question, but I cannot manage to get the role running if provisioning an Ubuntu Xenial Server.

Ansible Playbook (snip):

- hosts: all
  become: yes
  roles:
    - atosatto.minio
  vars:
    minio_server_datadirs: [ "/data" ]

Note: Mkdir-ed /data manually, doesn't make a difference

Minio service doesn't start. If I try to start it manually using sudo service minio start it runs for a short time:

sudo service minio status
● minio.service - Minio
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/minio.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2018-07-06 19:34:27 UTC; 3s ago
     Docs: https://docs.minio.io
  Process: 1523 ExecStartPre=/bin/bash -c [ -n "${MINIO_VOLUMES}" ] || echo "Variable MINIO_VOLUMES not set in /etc/default/minio" (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 1528 (minio)
    Tasks: 7
   Memory: 2.7M
      CPU: 14ms
   CGroup: /system.slice/minio.service
           └─1528 /usr/local/bin/minio server --address :9091 /data

Jul 06 19:34:27 ubuntu-xenial systemd[1]: Starting Minio...
Jul 06 19:34:27 ubuntu-xenial systemd[1]: Started Minio.

Then, http://server.tld:9091 is called in browser. => Connection refused

When sudo service minio status is called after that:

● minio.service - Minio
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/minio.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2018-07-06 19:34:32 UTC; 32s ago

Am I doing it wrong, or is it a bug in the recipe / minio?

When /data is chemod-ed with 777, it works. Would be an improvement to the role, if the data directories are created and privileged correctly by the role, so they work. But besides that, this is basially resolved.

Hi @frne, yes indeed it looks like a permissions problem. Are you using the latest version of the role (master)?

[frne]

@atosatto installed via ansible galaxy yesterday. Will checkout master and try again.

v1.0.1 from ansible-galaxy is outdated.
Checkout from master fixes this problem (tested on Ubuntu 18.04)
Maybe update package in ansible-galaxy?

[atosatto]

Hi @frne I can confirm that with master it does work.
We will be doing soon a new release to avoid you to have to depend on master.
Can you confirm that master is working also for you?

[frne]

@atosatto Yes, everything fine on master. Thx for your work.
