Hello.
I’m attempting to install edX natively (koa.master), on a virtual machine (using Oracle VirtualBox) with 2GB of RAM and 50GB of VHD space.
While running the native.sh bash script, an error came up, which I assume is a timeout:

============================================================
Ansible failed!
------------------------------------------------------------

Decoded error:
== cmd ===========================
['make', 'migrate']
== msg ===========================
non-zero return code
== stderr ===========================
Traceback (most recent call last):

    version, status, reason = self._read_status()

    line = str(self.fp.readline(_MAXLINE + 1), "iso-8859-1")
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/socket.py", line 669, in readinto
    return self._sock.recv_into(b)
socket.timeout: timed out

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Full pastebin of the matter can be found here (truncated the entire content before the decoded error, please tell me if you need the entire thing): ERROR : edx_django_service - migrate database - Pastebin.com
If it helps, I am also running several Internet-connected programs in the background in addition to VirtualBox.

I’d appreciate any help in resolving this, and maybe if you could, advise me on how you looked into the problem.

Hello,
I suspect that you hit the memory limit. 2Gb (4Gb swap) is too small to get all components works.
The error shows that the Elasticsearch services is down (port 9200). You can investigate /edx/var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log to figure out what happened.
