Hi @sybrandaltron - Thanks for your question, can you please confirm:

• Which version of etcd you are using
• How you are installing it
• What your configuration is
• The startup logs from the etcd process

Hi jmhbnz,

Thanks for your reply, I was able to get etcd running as the problem was SELinux being enabled and in enforcing mode on my system.

Below is the steps and the URL of the instructions I use to do the install

https://medium.com/@buildbot.tech/how-to-install-and-configure-etcd-on-linux-18f1ec5031b

Define the etcd version

ETCD_VER=v3.5.14

Choose either URL

GOOGLE_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/etcd
GITHUB_URL=https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/releases/download

Download the etcd

curl -L ${GITHUB_URL}/${ETCD_VER}/etcd-${ETCD_VER}-linux-amd64.tar.gz -o /tmp/etcd-${ETCD_VER}-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Extract the package

tar xzvf /tmp/etcd-${ETCD_VER}-linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /tmp

Optionally move the etcd and etcdctl binaries to /usr/local/bin for system-wide use

sudo mv /tmp/etcd-${ETCD_VER}-linux-amd64/etcd* /usr/local/bin/

sudo mv etcd /usr/local/bin

sudo mv etcdctl /usr/local/bin

sudo mkdir /etc/etcd # This is for configuration

sudo mkdir /var/lib/etcd # This is for data

sudo groupadd --system etcd

sudo useradd -s /sbin/nologin --system -g etcd etcd

sudo chown -R etcd:etcd /var/lib/etcd/

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl start etcd.service <-- Got Stuck here
