Elasticsearch

[girish]

@Nicolas Indeed, current plan is to implement Elastic search as an addon and not as an app. This will help apps like Nextcloud etc have document search as well. I will move this port to Feature Requests since it's a platform level change.

If you want to use this right away, there are two approaches:

• use an external elastic search (i.e install it on a separate server and have the LAMP app access that)
• alternately, create a cloudron package and install elastic search as an app. You can install this package on elastic.domain.com and then your app can use it directly.

@girish Getting kind of excited when I read this. Does this mean that Full Text Search for the Cloudron e-mail server could then be in the cards, too?

I think dovecot has to use lucene/sole because the elastic search is only in dovecot enterprise.

@girish I found this here. Dovecot Enterprise have developed their own FTS solution that comes with the commercial version of Dovecot.
All the other referenced solutions are working with the FOSS version of Dovecot, so it says.

I keep pushing and hoping....:-)

Hey Grish - this sounds good, and exciting! I noticed that Elasticsearch has been on the roadmap for some time and am wondering if this is something we're likely to see in the Cloudron 6.x series, or if it's much further down the road yet?

Can't wait to try full text search on Nextcloud via Elasticsearch, I have 20 GB of PDF and I want to be able to search inside those files, not just file names

Hey @girish - is this still on the roadmap for some time in the future? If so, do you have an idea of when it's likely to be set up?

@nicolas I'm not sure but I think @staff opted to just go for Solr instead and that Elastic Search isn't currently on the roadmap.

It would still good to have both though, as lots of apps seem only to integrate with Elastic.

I think part of the issue too is elasticsearch is incredibly demanding resource-wise

[bienhieutphcm]

@atrilahiji I know that Elasticsearch is stopped developing, from opensource into enterprise. And do we develop Elasticsearch from the latest opensource version?

Might be time to revisit that.
