In this tutorial, we will look at how to install OpenSearch on Ubuntu Server version 20.04.
OpenSearch is an open-source search engine that can be used to index and search through large volumes of data. It was created by Elastic and is used by some of the biggest companies in the world.
Before we begin, we need to make sure that our Ubuntu Server meets the minimum requirements for installing OpenSearch.
Open the terminal on your Ubuntu Server and run the following command to install Docker:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker.io
This will download and install Docker on your Ubuntu Server.
Run the following command to install Docker Compose:
sudo apt-get install -y docker-compose
This will download and install Docker Compose on your Ubuntu Server.
Visit the OpenSearch downloads page (https://opensearch.org/downloads.html) and download the latest version.
curl https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/stable/opensearch-1.2.0-linux-x64.tar.gz --output opensearch-1.2.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
This command will download the latest version of OpenSearch and save it to your current directory.
Extract the downloaded file using the following command:
tar -xzvf opensearch-1.2.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
This will extract the OpenSearch package to a directory called "opensearch-1.2.0".
Change into the OpenSearch directory and run the following command to start OpenSearch:
cd opensearch-1.2.0
docker-compose up
This will start OpenSearch and make it available on your Ubuntu Server.
OpenSearch can be accessed on port 9200. Open your web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip:9200/. If you see a page with information about OpenSearch, then everything is working correctly.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the process of installing OpenSearch on Ubuntu Server. OpenSearch is a powerful search engine that can be used to index and search through large volumes of data. With this knowledge, you are now able to start using OpenSearch on your Ubuntu Server.
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!
