How can I connect from a remote server to a CrateDB node using crash?

CrateDB
11

Oh, indeed! I’ve set the heap size to 16 GB (because that node has 64 GB RAM):

administrator@crate-dn-001:~$ grep -i "heap" /etc/default/crate | grep -v "^#"
CRATE_HEAP_SIZE=16G

And then tried _site_, _local_ again:

administrator@crate-dn-001:~$ grep "network\.host" /etc/crate/crate.yml | grep -v "^#"
network.host: _site_, _local_

This time it restarted without any problems, and now I can connect from a remote, non-CrateDB related server with my newly created database user:

(cratedb) loadgenerator001@eris:~$ crash --verbose --hosts 192.168.239.30 --username energytix

Bye!

It’ll be good if you put it somewhere visible in the documentation, or some F.A.Q. for pitfalls, etc.

Thanks a lot for your great technical support and solving this issue so quickly. :pray::+1:
