Features
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install and configure OrientDB on an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance with Ubuntu 16.04.
First, log in to your https://ecs.console.aliyun.com">Alibaba Cloud ECS Console. Create a new ECS instance, choosing Ubuntu 16.04 as the operating system with at least 2GB RAM. Connect to your ECS instance and log in as the root user.
Once you are logged into your Ubuntu 16.04 instance, run the following command to update your base system with the latest available packages.
apt-get update -y
OrientDB is written in Java. So you will need to install Java to your system. You can install it using the following command:
apt-get install default-jre -y
Once the Java is installed, verify the version of the Java by running the following command:
java -version
Output:
openjdk version "1.8.0_171"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-8u171-b11-0ubuntu0.16.04.1-b11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode)
First, you will need to download the latest version of the OrientDB community edition from their official website. You can download it using the following command:
wget https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/orientdb3/releases/3.0.1/orientdb-3.0.1.tar.gz
Once the download is completed, extract the downloaded file with the following command:
tar -xvzf orientdb-3.0.1.tar.gz
Next, copy the extracted directory to the /opt:
cp -r orientdb-3.0.1 /opt/orientdb
Next, start the OrientDB server using the following command:
/opt/orientdb/bin/server.sh
You will need to specify a password for the root user when starting the server for the first time. Once the server starts successfully you should see the following output:
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: FIRST RUN CONFIGURATION |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| This is the first time the server is running. Please type a |
| password of your choice for the 'root' user or leave it blank |
| to auto-generate it. |
| |
| To avoid this message set the environment variable or JVM |
| setting ORIENTDB_ROOT_PASSWORD to the root password to use. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
Root password [BLANK=auto generate it]: **********
Please confirm the root password: **********

2018-06-02 09:48:02:260 INFO OrientDB Server is active v3.0.1 - Veloce (build d31da1499f29f04af751d0a8ad108152b2593c8b, branch develop).
OrientDB server is now up and listening on port 2424 and 2480. You can verify it using the following command:
netstat -ant | grep -i listen
You should see the following output:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

tcp6 0 0 :::2424 :::* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::1:25 :::* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 :::2480 :::* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN
You can connect OrientDB console using the command line interface to working with the application. Run the following command to connect OrientDB console.
/opt/orientdb/bin/console.sh
You should see the following output:
OrientDB console v.3.0.1 - Veloce (build d31da1499f29f04af751d0a8ad108152b2593c8b, branch develop) https://www.orientdb.com Type 'help' to display all the supported commands.
Now, connect to the server instance using the below command:
orientdb> connect remote:127.0.0.1 root
Enter password:
OK
orientdb {server=remote:127.0.0.1}>
You can exit from the OrientDB console any time by pressing Ctrl+C.
Next, you will need to create an OrientDB system service file to run OrientDB as a daemon on the system.
First, create a system user for OrientDB daemon with the following command:
useradd -r orientdb -s /sbin/nologin
Next, give proper permissions to the OrientDB directory:
chown -R orientdb:orientdb /opt/orientdb
Next, you will need to specify OrientDB path to the orientdb.sh script:
nano /opt/orientdb/bin/orientdb.sh
Make the following changes:
ORIENTDB_DIR="/opt/orientdb"
ORIENTDB_USER="orientdb"
Save and close the file, when you are finished. Then modify the server configuration file's permissions to prevent unauthorized access.
chmod 640 /opt/orientdb/config/orientdb-server-config.xml
Next, you will need to copy OrientDB default Systemd service file to the /etc/systemd/system directory.
cp /opt/orientdb/bin/orientdb.service /etc/systemd/system/
Next, open orientdb.service file and make some changes:
nano /etc/systemd/system/orientdb.service
Make the following changes under [Service] section:
[Service]
User=orientdb
Group=orientdb
ExecStart=/opt/orientdb/bin/server.sh
Save and close the file, then reload unit file:
systemctl daemon-reload
Finally, start OrientDB service and enable it to start on boot time with the following command:
systemctl start orientdb
systemctl enable orientdb
You can check the status of OrientDB process using the following command:
systemctl status orientdb
Output:

OrientDB is now installed and configured, it's time to access OrientDB Web Interface.
Open your web browser and type the URL http://192.168.0.103:2480/studio/index.html, you will be redirected to the following page:
Provide username as root and the password you set earlier, then click on the CONNECT button, you should see the following page:
The default OrientDB installation allows access to OrientDB Studio from the public network. So it is recommended to prevent the access from the Internet to OrientDB Studio and console. You can do this by editing the orientdb-server-config.xml file:
nano /opt/orientdb/config/orientdb-server-config.xml
Replace the following lines from:
<listener protocol="binary" socket="default" port-range="2424-2430" ip-address="0.0.0.0"/>
<listener protocol="http" socket="default" port-range="2480-2490" ip-address="0.0.0.0">
To:
<listener protocol="binary" socket="default" port-range="2424-2430" ip-address="127.0.0.1"/>
<listener protocol="http" socket="default" port-range="2480-2490" ip-address="127.0.0.1">
Save and close the file. Then restart OrientDB service with the following command:
systemctl restart orientdb
Now, open your web browser and type the URL http://192.168.0.103:2480/studio/index.html, you will get the connection will be denied message.
Batch Compute is a cloud service for massive simultaneous batch processing. The system automatically manages resources, schedules tasks, loads data, and bills by usage.
