OpenSearch is an open-source and community-driven search engine that can be used to search and index data. It is designed to be highly scalable, performant, and easy to use. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OpenSearch on OpenSUSE Latest.
OpenSearch requires Java to run. Run the following command to install Java:
sudo zypper install java-headless
Download the latest release of OpenSearch from the website https://opensearch.org. You can either download the tarball or the RPM package.
Extract the downloaded package using the following command:
tar -zxf opensearch-1.x.x.tar.gz
The above command will extract the package into a directory named opensearch-1.x.x.
OpenSearch does not provide any default configuration, so you need to configure it manually. Navigate to the extracted package directory and edit the config/opensearch.yml file to make necessary changes.
To start OpenSearch, run the following command:
cd opensearch-1.x.x/
bin/opensearch
This command will start OpenSearch.
To test OpenSearch, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:9200/. If everything is configured correctly, you should see a message similar to the following:
{
"name" : "node-1",
"cluster_name" : "opensearch-cluster",
"cluster_uuid" : "uS3t4FHoSmSXu-1251845514",
"version" : {
"number" : "1.0.0",
"build_flavor" : "oss",
"build_type" : "tar",
"build_hash" : "some-hash",
"build_date" : "2022-01-01T00:00:00.000000Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "9.2.1"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured OpenSearch on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use OpenSearch to search and index 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
