HAAst terminating with exit code 158 - asterisk

I'm just trying to do a POC test with Telium's HAAst before we offer it to a customer, but I've stalled before I start the haast daemon. Currently I have a single VM with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Digium's basic Asterisk 13 installation. I've configured haast.conf, it seems good, but I cannot start haast daemon, it stops after a few seconds. Here is the relevant log output:
General, HAAst version 2.3.2.1 starting as daemon under process ID 2409
Controller, Local peer HAAst state changing to service start
License, License file not found. Switching to Free Edition
General, Settings contained 0 information; 0 warning; and 0 error messages.
Asterisk Controller, Unable to located executable to control Asterisk
Controller, Local peer HAAst state changing to service stop
Controller, Stopped
General, HAAst terminating with exit code 158 (failure to find asterisk control files) after running for 2 seconds
It seems, haast misses the event controller to start Asterisk daemon, unfortunately it didn't contain the installation package. I've tried to make these files (asterisk.start & asterisk.stop) based on the other sample event files, I've set the executable bit, I've wrote the shebang to the first line based on the installation guide, but nothing helped.
Is somebody experienced about this case?
Thanks, Zsolt

This error means that High Availability for Asterisk (HAAst) is unable to find the service/executable file needed to control Asterisk. Since the 'distribution' setting in the [asterisk] stanza of the haast.conf file is it to 2 (Digium Asterisk), it means there's a problem with the Asterisk service file.
Ubuntu 16 uses systemd so have you installed Digium's asterisk.service (systemd) file? If you chose to install an initd service file for Asterisk instead then you may have to explicitly tell HAAst which to look for. If you installed neither then that's your problem. The maker of HAAst (Telium) has a support forum where this topic is addressed (click here).
The pre and post Asterisk event handlers are available in the commercial versions of HAAst only - so that won't help (but it's also the wrong way to solve the problem). There are also a few Ubuntu specific topics on the support forum https://www.telium.io/haast in case that helps.
If you can't find an Asterisk systemd service file here's a sample:
[Unit]
Description=Asterisk PBX and telephony daemon
Documentation=man:asterisk(8)
Wants=network.target
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=asterisk
Group=asterisk
ExecStart=/usr/bin/asterisk -f -C /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
ExecStop=/usr/bin/asterisk -rx 'core stop now'
ExecReload=/usr/bin/asterisk -rx 'core reload'
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Just save that file as 'asterisk.service' and place in /etc/systemd/system/ and ensure permissions match other service/unit files.

Haast configuration is missing or not correct:
Unable to located executable to control Asterisk

I have a VPS hosting with a domain redirecting to it.
I have LAMP stack for my main website using WordPress CMS.
Plus I am using Odoo as my back-end with python and PostgreSQL in a sub-domain.
Everything was working fine until I installed Certbot Let’s Encrypt to obtain an SSL certificate by following these tutorials
For My Wordpress i installed this plugin:
WP Encryption – One Click single / wildcard Free SSL certificate & force HTTPS
Which got me in a loop because it forced the https i will explain it later on
So when the plugin didn't work i searched for another way for the whole VPS with these tutorials:
How To Secure Apache with Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 16.04
How To Secure Apache with Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 18.04
After completing the second tutorial for ubuntu 18.04 i noticed that all my domain traffic is going to https and it got stuck in a loop saying same as i said above
"ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS which means Site redirected too many times"
and couldn't access the website front-end for the wordpress in the doamin.
Then when i applied
"Step 3 — Allowing HTTPS Through the Firewall"
my internet connection got interpreted and when i got back to the ssh session i found my self locked out of the server and did not find any way to get back in.
And when i tired to use the sub-domain that has Odoo on it i have got the same error
"ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS which means Site redirected too many times"
Until here i was hopeless and did't know what to do.
I contacted my VPS server provider and told him about what exactly happened. Then some how he managed to get me into the server again with a URL to the terminal i still couldn't access the server using ssh clients like putty.. so when i entered the server after he provided me with the URL first thing noticed is that he "rebooted the VPS" will get to this in a second.
So first thing i did was removing the wordpress plugin "WP Encryption" and update the wordpress site-url in wp_options table in mysql database because the plugin changed it from http to https so i changed it back and that solved the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS for my wordpress website.
Then the second thing i did was disabling the ufw firewall that i enabled in the tutorial in Step 3 above.
I instantly got my connection to the server back using ssh client putty but what i have noticed again is the postgres service was inactive and went down with the reboot of the VPS. i tried to start the service but it didn't a gave me this error.
Failed to start postgresql.service: Unit postgresql.service is masked.
i searched for a solution and found these commands to unmask
sudo systemctl unmask postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl restart postgresql
and then the service has started and everything sames OK when i run the status command
service postgresql status
the response is

but when i try to connect to postgres through the default port with odoo it says:

Is the server running locally and accepting

after many searches i made i found the posgres main cluster is also inactive or down i tried to start it with this command
pg_ctlcluster 11 main start
but i get this error

and when i run the command as requested

I guessed Let's Encrypt added an ssl configuration to the pg_hba.conf and postgres.conf like id did with apache so i searched for them and commented the "ssl on" lines and restarted postgres service along with the main cluster but nothing happened still the the same error which is
Error: Could not find pg_ctl executable for version 11
I know i shouldn't run pg_ctl directly under Ubuntu/Debian. I must use pg_ctlcluster instead, which is installed by postgresql-common. I saw the main page documentation. But when i run "sudo pg_ctlcluster 11 main reload" command i always get the above Error telling me that he could not find pg_ctl executable
I have searched a lot for this problem but nothing worked how can i solve the pg_ctl executable in version 11 ??
Ps:
I am using Ubuntu 19.10 (GNU/Linux 5.3.0-24-generic x86_64)
Odoo 11 with postgres 11 as the database odoo can't connect to postgres as i mentioned before
edit:
Unfortunately i can't do a restore or recover the server to fix postgres package because my last backup of the server was on 19/3 and today is 26/3 i have an important data between this period
Update 27/3/2020 4:06 AM
I compared my last server backup with the production server and found a lot of postgres files missing!! like int this path /usr/lib/postgres/11/ and /etc/postgres/11/ i think postgres some how got damaged and lost some files in the reboot of the server >>> but found the data files of the database located in /var/lib/postgres/11/ <<< Can i read them in my backup server ? i will try and let you know
So finally after a hours of digging
All PostgreSQL files where damaged and missing and i lost hope of repairing them i don't know what caused that but it has a relation with the accidental reboot of the server.
So i managed to find the main cluster data file for my important database information for the production server in this path
/var/lib/postgres/11/
and i took a backup from it by zipping the whole folder using this command
zip -r main.zip main/
then i did a full purge and reinstall for postgres usuing these commands from here
apt-get --purge remove postgresql\*
to remove everything PostgreSQL from your system. Just purging the postgres package isn't enough since it's just an empty meta-package.
Once all PostgreSQL packages have been removed, run:
rm -r /etc/postgresql/
rm -r /etc/postgresql-common/
rm -r /var/lib/postgresql/
userdel -r postgres
groupdel postgres
Then i installed postgres with this command to match odoo11
sudo apt-get install postgresql libpq-dev -y
then creating the ODOO PostgreSQL User
sudo su - postgres -c "createuser -s odoo" 2> /dev/null || true
Now everything is okay odoo should work fine but you still don't have any database
So to bring back the backup from the cluster folder we took earlier we need to move the zip file to the same directory we took it from which is
/var/lib/postgres/11/
but before that you should stop postgres service
sudo systemctl stop postgresql
and make sure it has stopped
sudo systemctl status postgresql
after that rename the main cluster that postgres uses right now because its empty and we don't need it because we are replacing it with our backed up cluster
mv /var/lib/postgres/11/main /var/lib/postgres/11/main_old
then move the zip file from where you backed it up to the postgres cluster folder with this command
mv /backups/main.zip /var/lib/postgres/11/
unzip the folder in the same path by using this command
unzip -a /var/lib/postgres/11/main.zip
after unzipping the folder give the ownership to your postgres user and group
chown -R postgres:postgres main
Then you are good to go. Start Postgres service
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl status postgresql
and make sure you also start the main cluster service
pg_ctlcluster 11 main start
if you stopped odoo make sure to start it also
service odoo-server start
Ps: I solved ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS for the odoo sub-domain by commenting ssl configurations in my odoo.config Apache2 virtual host that lets encrypt updated before and everything got back to where left it before installing lets encrypt.
I guess i will leave it here and won't use ssl in production again till i figure out how to use it in a test server .. thanks for your time i hope my question and answer helps someone in the future
Try adding 'pg_path' in your odoo configuration file.
Like: pg_path = /path/to/postgresql/binaries
Generally '/usr/lib/posrgresql/11/bin' is the binary directory.

Error: Port 5000 is not open, could not start functions emulator

✔ Deploy complete!
Project Console: https://console.firebase.google.com/project/socialape-6b2f7/overview
Ayhan-MacBookPro:socialape-functions macbook$ firebase serve
=== Serving from '/Users/macbook/Desktop/socialape-functions'...
Error: Port 5000 is not open, could not start functions emulator.
Run lsof -t -i tcp:5000 | xargs kill from your Terminal.
A common cause for this error occurs when the Firebase emulator is not cleanly shut down (e.g., closing your IDE that's running the emulator in an embedded Terminal session) This will leave the process running in the background and occupies the emulator's default port.
To resolve the conflict, find the process ID running on the port (here 5000) from your Terminal command line and then kill it.
The above one-liner finds the process ID and pipes it directly to kill (h/t #manav).
For additional info, check out: Find (and kill) process locking port 3000 on Mac
The bug seems to be on not your end
It is caused by a bug in a dependency (node portfinder).
A quick fix to edit it might be to use the old version of node portfinder (v 1.0.21). Alternatively, you can do it by editing node_modules/firebase-tools/lib/emulator/controller.js and changing yield pf.getPortPromise({ port, stopPort: port }) to yield pf.getPortPromise({ port, stopPort: port + 1 }).
You can see the answer to your question completely here in this SO link.
If you are facing this issue in macOS Pro then this solution is for you.
In MacOS , Port 5000 may be claimed by a new "AirPlay Receiver".
This can be disabled in Settings -> Sharing:
I'm also adding the Screenshot of settings panel for disabling AirPlay Receiver.
Disabling the AirPlay Receiver (if you do not need it) frees up port 5000.

Camera (/dev/video0) dependencies in systemd service Ubuntu 16.04

I need to run some services on boot up which I have successfully accomplished using systemd services. (Lots of answers already available).
Now, one of my service requires access to /dev/video0 while bootup when a certain user is logged in. (I am doing auto login which is working fine).
So how do I check that whether the /dev/video0 is available before starting my systemd service while bootup.
I came across something called udev for doing this, I followed this link
but I am not getting desired output as after editing /lib/udev/rules.d/99-systemd.rules files as mentioned in the link and starting my service manually it's not starting, any help is appreciated.
Finally after struggling for a day I found the answer -
I made a script in /etc/systemd/system which contains
[Unit]
Description='some description of my file write according to you'
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart='path to script'
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
and It executes a script which contains
#!/bin/bash
modprobe uvcvideo
Now after rebooting all the services are running properly
mod probe uvcvideo command check for running video driver and enable it at the time of bootup so that It is available for my systemd process
Thanks

Kibana 4.5 run as service on CentOS 7

What is the proper way to run Kibana 4.5 as service on CentOS 7?
When I run it as ./kibana, I can conenct to it form another machine without any problem. When I run it with systemctl start kibana and check with ps -ef | grep '.*node/bin/node.*src/cli'it looks like running but refuses to connect. And goes down. What can be the problem? Thanks in advance.
Here is content of kibana.service file
[Unit]
Description=no description given
[Service]
Type=simple
User=kibana
Group=root
Environment=CONFIG_PATH=/opt/kibana/config/kibana.yml
ExecStart=/opt/kibana/bin/kibana
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I am not that much of a linux expert but i recently installed kibana using yum (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/4.5/setup.html#kibana-yum) on a minimal installation of CentOS 7 and did not face any issues whatsoever.
In order to have some debug logs and find out what is wrong in your case, edit the kibana configurations file
/opt/kibana/config/kibana.yml
and set a filename for the logging.dest property.
logging.dest: /var/log/kibana.log
Good luck
Igor,
I noticed a few questions you posted on Kafka so sounds like you need to set up a cluster that can ingest data and pass to Elastic. Kibana would be just user interface.
In my experience, components like ELK, Kafka, Zookeeper, etc should be managed by a watchdog process. I highly recommend looking at something like supervisord. http://supervisord.org/
You should run it as a service and the rest managed by the supervisor. It will guarantee starting components at boot but whats more important restart in case of failure and collecting logs. In case of Kibana, it is a NodeJS app that writes to stdout/stderr so to know what fails, you need to collect them.

How to start services in early stage of beaglebone boot?

I am trying to change the Beaglebone black splash screen.
I am using Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.06.20.img.xz image.
I compiled the psplash source (as explained in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/beagleboard/HRDjAtsPO68/dc7gIZTynQkJ) and now psplash works fine.
In order to automatically start psplash I create a new system service called psplash.service and I enabled it with the command "systemctl enable psplash.service".
The problem is: when Beaglebone boots, the psplash is launched a little bit late and you can see for several
seconds the standard beaglebone logo. How can I configure the service in order to run the psplash as soon as possible ?
Is there a better way than the system services for starting psplash program ?
Here is the system service file:
[Unit]
Description=Splash screen
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/root/
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/psplash
SyslogIdentifier=psplash
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Systemd services by default have dependencies so removing the dependencies will allow it to start the service early.
[Unit]
Description=Splash screen
DefaultDependencies=no
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/psplash
[Install]
WantedBy=basic.target
This will cause it to start before other dependencies. You may add dependencies within the [Unit] block with After=... or Before=.... But be careful with the Before=... as it will wait for psplash to end and since psplash will run uninterrupted on its own it may cause start-up to hang.
This will cause the service to run earlier in the systemd process but I am still looking into other ways to get it to start even earlier.
