Fess is an open-source search server that is used for enterprise search. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Fess on a Windows 10 machine.
Fess requires Java to be installed on your machine. You can download the latest version of Java from their official website: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html
Once you have downloaded the Java installer, run it and follow the installation instructions.
You can download the latest version of Fess from their official website: https://fess.codelibs.org/
Choose the binary version that matches your operating system, in this case, fess-<version>-windows-x64.zip.
Once the download is complete, extract the fess-<version>-windows-x64.zip file to a folder on your local machine.
Open a command prompt as an administrator and navigate to the folder that contains the Fess installation folder.
Run the following command to set the FESS_HOME environment variable:
set FESS_HOME=<path/to/fess>
Next, run the following command to start Fess:
fess.bat
Fess should now be running, and you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser.
Fess is now installed and running on your Windows 10 machine. You can start configuring it based on your needs and requirements.
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!
