Starting Apache Zeppelin

Starting Apache Zeppelin from the Command Line

On all unix like platforms:

bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh start

If you are on Windows:

bin\zeppelin.cmd

After Zeppelin has started successfully, go to http://localhost:8080 with your web browser.

Stopping Zeppelin

bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh stop

Start Apache Zeppelin with a service manager

Note : The below description was written based on Ubuntu.

Apache Zeppelin can be auto-started as a service with an init script, using a service manager like upstart.

This is an example upstart script saved as /etc/init/zeppelin.conf This allows the service to be managed with commands such as

sudo service zeppelin start  
sudo service zeppelin stop  
sudo service zeppelin restart

Other service managers could use a similar approach with the upstart argument passed to the zeppelin-daemon.sh script.

bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh upstart

zeppelin.conf

description "zeppelin"

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)
stop on shutdown

# Respawn the process on unexpected termination
respawn

# respawn the job up to 7 times within a 5 second period.
# If the job exceeds these values, it will be stopped and marked as failed.
respawn limit 7 5

# zeppelin was installed in /usr/share/zeppelin in this example
chdir /usr/share/zeppelin
exec bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh upstart
