If you are looking to deploy OpenSearch on your FreeBSD machine, you have found the right tutorial. This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing OpenSearch on FreeBSD latest version.
First, let's start by checking if your FreeBSD machine is up-to-date:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade -y
Once that's done, we can proceed with the steps to install OpenSearch:
OpenSearch requires the Java SE Development Kit to run. We can install OpenJDK 11, which is the recommended version for OpenSearch.
The command to install OpenJDK 11 on FreeBSD is:
sudo pkg install openjdk11
We can configure the ElasticSearch repositories to get the OpenSearch package:
echo "PACKAGESITE=https://artifacts.opensearch.org/packages/1.x/repos/opensearch/freebsd" | sudo tee -a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/opensearch.conf
This will configure the FreeBSD package manager to fetch OpenSearch packages from the official OpenSearch repository.
Now, we can install the OpenSearch package using the following command:
sudo pkg install opensearch
After installation, we need to configure OpenSearch to get it running. The configuration files are located in the /usr/local/etc/opensearch/ directory.
We can use the following command to configure OpenSearch:
sudo vim /usr/local/etc/opensearch/opensearch.yml
In the opensearch.yml file, we need to configure the network host and port.
network.host: 127.0.0.1
http.port: 9200
Save the file and exit the editor.
To start OpenSearch, we can use the following command:
sudo service opensearch start
We can verify the OpenSearch installation by checking the status of the service using the following command:
sudo service opensearch status
This should display the status of the OpenSearch service as running.
We can also verify the installation by opening a web browser and navigating to http://127.0.0.1:9200/. This should display a JSON response indicating that OpenSearch is up and running.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured OpenSearch on FreeBSD.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
