OpenSearch is an enterprise-grade, search and analytics suite that is designed to handle large amounts of data. It provides features such as real-time search, analytics, dashboarding, and alerting. In this tutorial, we will see how to install OpenSearch on Fedora Server.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
First, download the OpenSearch RPM package from the official website.
$ wget https://artifacts.opensearch.org/downloads/opensearch-rpm/opensearch-{version}-1.x86_64.rpm
Replace {version} with the latest version number available. For example, at the time of writing, the latest version is 1.0.0, so the command will be:
$ wget https://artifacts.opensearch.org/downloads/opensearch-rpm/opensearch-1.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
Once the package is downloaded, use the following command to install it:
$ sudo rpm -i opensearch-{version}-1.x86_64.rpm
Again, replace {version} with the latest version number.
By default, OpenSearch is not started automatically. You can start it manually using the following command:
$ sudo systemctl start opensearch.service
To check if OpenSearch is running, use the following command:
$ sudo systemctl status opensearch.service
If OpenSearch is running, you should see a message that says "Active: active (running)."
You can access OpenSearch by visiting the following URL in your web browser:
https://[ip_address]:9200
Replace [ip_address] with the IP address of your Fedora Server. You should see a welcome message from OpenSearch.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenSearch on your Fedora Server. You can now explore the different features provided by OpenSearch and start searching for your data.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
