Failing to start after reboot

mezod · February 3, 2025, 11:23pm

I was running metabase locally on my machine but after rebooting I cannot get it to start.

This is my java -version
openjdk version "17.0.13" 2024-10-15 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu17.54+21-CA (build 17.0.13+11-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu17.54+21-CA (build 17.0.13+11-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

This is the error when java -jar metabase.jar

Also ps aux | grep java

Thanks for any help!

which Metabase version are you trying to start? please move to Temurin Java 21

mezod · February 3, 2025, 11:49pm

I'm not entirely sure of how to find the version. I uncompressed the .jar file and found this in version.properties:
tag=v0.37.5
hash=be537ee
branch=release-x.37.x
date=2021-01-05

but it looks like a very old version, when I downloaded it from the web about 2 months ago. The docs said java 17 was recommended and I haven't changed anything since running it successfully. Thanks!

Luiggi · February 4, 2025, 1:53am

Then you need Java 11, that version can’t run with Java 17 or 21

mezod · February 4, 2025, 8:46am

Hmm, so is 0.37.5 the latest OSS Metabase version? Or is there a version I can run on Java 17? I must have upgraded Java unknowingly

Thanks for your help Luiggi!

Edit: Ah, yeah, for Android development... looks like rip metabase
Edit2: Learnt you can have multiple java versions installed quite painlessly. Here: Step-by-Step Guide: Installing and Switching Java Versions on Mac OSX | by Harold Finch | Medium
