Setting Up Elasticsearch: From Installation to Configuration 🛠️
Getting started with Elasticsearch involves installation and configuration. It can be deployed via packages, Docker, or cloud services like Elasticsearch Service.
Installation steps (on Linux):
# Download and install Elasticsearch
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.9.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
# Extract and run
tar -xzf elasticsearch-8.9.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd elasticsearch-8.9.0/bin
./elasticsearch
Configuration tips:
- Edit
elasticsearch.yml
for cluster name, node roles, network binding. - Enable memory settings suitable for your environment.
For Docker:
docker run -d --name elasticsearch -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.9.0
This easy setup allows quick experimentation and development.
