How to install Elasticsearch on Mastodon?

[username]

Do I need an external server, or should I install an elasticsearch app on Cloudron, or can I install it directly from the Ubuntu via code.

I'll describe my installation process and the problems I encountered.

First connect to the VPS using Terminal on Mac.

type:

apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless

The result is

Then I deleted the file according to the path. This code works again.

Enter code:

wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -

Message:

gpg: failed to start agent '/usr/bin/gpg-agent': No such file or directory
gpg: can't connect to the agent: No such file or directory

To solve the above problem, I use apt install gpg-agent.

again

wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -

Enter code:

echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/6.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-6.x.list

apt update && apt install elasticsearch

Then turn Mastodon off and on again in Cloudron.

Modify the .env.production file.

ES_ENABLED=true
ES_HOST=localhost
ES_PORT=9200

Turn Mastodon off and on again in Cloudron.

Finally at this step it does not work.

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake chewy:upgrade

Terminal Tips

-bash: bundle: command not found

You will need an external server because we don't support installing additional packages on the server since it might break updates. At some point we do plan to integrate ElasticSearch into Cloudron. I think some other apps like nextcloud require this as well. For the moment, just install it on a ubuntu or equivalent outside Cloudron.
