Control Integrated Elasticsearch Server (Linux)

28/08/2025

You can control the integrated Elasticsearch instance by means of the control script located at /opt/poolparty/bin/poolparty/elasticsearch.

It is very straightforward to use:

  1. Log in to a shell on the PoolParty host, for example by using SSH.

  2. If necessary, assume the identity of the root user:

    sudo -i
  3. Enter the command for the action you want to be performed.

Supported Commands and Operations

The following commands can be executed:

  • start

    It is recommended not to start Elasticsearch directly but to use the poolparty script instead which is located in the same directory. This script will also automatically start and stop both Elasticsearch and Keycloak.

  • stop

    It is recommended not to Elasticsearch directly but to use the poolparty script instead which is located in the same directory. This script will also automatically start and stop both Elasticsearch and Keycloak.

  • status

    Checks if Elasticsearch server is running.

You can also hook this script into your system's init sequence in order to be executed after it finished booting up to start PoolParty automatically.
