Arch Linux User Repository

@sunng ah ok thanks, I was starting with the script manually.

@LoZed it seems correct. You should be able to use systemctl start questdb to get it work.

@sunng sure, drwxr-xr-x questdb questdb

update: I just updated to 6.4.3-3 and running it as user questdb works now. However, it created a tmp root directory because it didn't have the rights in my home directory. Creating a testdb directory with questdb ownership in my home directory fails with

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/<user>/testdb/public/version.txt (Permission denied)

Creating it outside of my home, e.g. /tmp/testdb works.

@LoZed could you please check the owner and permissions of /var/log/questdb?

Hi, I get the following error when starting questdb

/usr/bin/questdb: line 191: /var/log/questdb//stdout-2022-07-21T16-08-53.txt: Permission denied

Starting it as another user (root or questdb) doesn't seem to be the solution. Should I set some rights somewhere?

Thanks. Now it works with latest JRE as well, no need to pin to version 11. Thanks!
