Run Elasticsearch local on Docker

Prerequisites

• Install Docker
• Install Docker Compose

Install ES on Docker

1. Create a new docker-compose.yml using the following lines

   version: '2'
   services:
     elasticsearch:
       image: elasticsearch:7.14.1
       container_name: eeag_elasticsearch
       environment:
         - discovery.type=single-node
         - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx256m"
       volumes:
         - elasticsearch_data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
       ports:
         - 9200:9200
       networks:
         - elastic
       restart: "always"
   
   volumes:
     elasticsearch_data:
   
   networks:
     elastic:

2. Install and start ES service:

docker-compuse up -d

1. Check if you get a response when hit localhost:9200:, if you get a response, that means ES is running.

2. Install the requirements or check if you have the latest version of django-haystack

pip install -r requirements.dev.txt

OR

pip install django-haystack -U

1. Replace HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS settings in localsettings.py:

HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {
"default": {
    "ENGINE": "haystack.backends.elasticsearch7_backend.Elasticsearch7SearchEngine",
    "URL": "http://localhost:9200/",
    "INDEX_NAME": "eeagrants",
    "BATCH_SIZE": 999,
    "SILENTLY_FAIL": False,
    },
}

1. Rebuild index using the following command

./manage.py rebuild_index
