.. index:: Docker
The steps below will get you up and running elasticsearch in a local development environment. All of these commands assume you are in the project root.
- Docker; if you don't have it yet, follow the installation instructions;
- Docker Compose; refer to the official documentation for the installation guide.
Currently, the dev stack consists of prebuilt images. In the future, if custom docker images are added to the compose file, this may be necessary:
$ docker-compose build --no-cache
This brings up Elasticsearch. The first time it is run it might take a while to get started, but subsequent runs will occur quickly.
Open a terminal at the project root and run the following for local development:
$ docker-compose up
To rebuild the stack after docker-compose build --no-cache, run this first:
$ docker-compose down
To run the psql shell for postgres:
$ docker-compose exec db psql "postgresql://pguser:pgpass@localhost/pgdb"
This tells our computer that all future commands are specifically for the dev1 machine. Using the eval command we can switch machines as needed.:
$ eval "$(docker-machine env dev1)"
