Docker-FESS with external Elasticsearch cluster?

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Hello,

I recently came across your "docker-fess" repo on github and tried it out. Works very nicely on my Ubuntu 16.04 (x64) system.

I am looked to see if you might be interested in helping me come up with a modified version so that I can connect to an external Docker-Elasticsearch cluster?

I was thinking about trying to get a small test Elasticsearch cluster setup following:

https://github.com/deviantony/docker-elk/wiki/Elasticsearch-cluster
and using the ELK stack:
https://github.com/deviantony/docker-elk

but I do not know what changes might need to be made to your stuff so that I could connect to it once I have it setup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and have a great day

Hi @lonnieOST,

This repository uses the zip installation that has an embedded (development only) version of Elastic Search installed. I believe you would want to use the RPM installation packages in order to make use of an external ES cluster. Ref:

The Fess maintainers are very helpful if you have any questions about how to configure the installation. They do also provide their own Docker images that may be simpler for you to use as a starting point.

A few similar queries from others that might help:

You will need to ensure you can access the network of whatever Elastic Search host you provide from whatever container you use.
