Blomstra Search, an elasticsearch fulltext search extension

I don't understand exactly how we should use it.
I installed Redis on the server. I installed the plugin, then installed the GB Redis Setup plugin to queue it.

But I don't know how to adjust the settings.
I don't know how to adjust Elastic Search settings either.

Could you help?

luceos

Alshain I don't know how to adjust Elastic Search settings either.

Install the elastic extension, enable it in the admin area and check the settings of that extension. What exactly are you missing?

Alshain

luceos
elastic endpoint is 127.0.0.1
username elastic
password: ?
index : ?

What will we write in these sections?

luceos

Alshain my bad:

endpoint is http://localhost:9200
username/password are either the admin user or another one created for this index
index can be set to flarum or something relating to the community you run, it is like a database to MySQL

Alshain

luceos I'm trying right now. Thank you.

Elasticsearch works when I experiment with curl on putty.

However, when I make the following settings, the search section returns empty.
I don't fully understand the problem 🙁

Can you check it when it's available?

luceos Do I have to set up elastic instance to get this extension working?

I just followed the first post's instructions

luceos username/password are either the admin user or another one created for this index

Also, do you mean here my forums admin and it's password?

Mirzaagha

luceos but not understand. What is?

Elastic Endpoint
Username
Password
Index

and not have Analyzer language : Azerbaijan

and how to fixed size searchbox?

luceos

Alshain ~~you need to index existing posts first: php flarum blomstra:search:index --recreate~~

Sorry I missed the second screenshot

Alshain

luceos I did it.

luceos

Alshain yeah I missed the second screenshot. Are you sure the queue worker is running? The GB redis extension has very limited information in terms of set up, honestly it lacks in that area. Once you set up that extension try php flarum and see if you can create a daemon for the queue worker.

Alternatively use the database queue for now (https://discuss.flarum.org/d/28151) or the package the GB redis extension is based on, it requires you to make some changes to your extend.php as it has no UX (https://discuss.flarum.org/d/21873-redis-sessions-cache-queues).

luceos Actually I wanted to install blomstra/flarum-redis first but got an error.

Then I installed the GB Redis plugin, but its settings are like this.

Is there anything else I should check?

luceos

try running php flarum queue:work, if that works you need to daemonize that. For instance with supervisor, see: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/queues#supervisor-configuration

Alshain

luceos Is it normal to be like this?

luceos

luceos if that works you need to daemonize that. For instance with supervisor, see: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/queues#supervisor-configuration

The process you manually started, needs to run continuously.

luceos

Alshain yes that's great! If the task is processed properly it will say "Processed" in green. Otherwise it will be in red (I think).

Alshain

luceos
Something is starting to happen though, I hope it works 🙂

luceos

Alshain make sure to create a daemon though so that the process keeps running with you needing to have that window open.

Alshain

luceos I'm not sure exactly what you mean, sorry 🙁

Can't I do this job by opening 2 putty?

Any chance support for AWS OpenSearch could be added? It should be Elastic Search-compatible, just with a few additional features, so it should be just a matter of switching the client.

Thanks!

luceos

matteocontrini feel free to PR this functionality if changes are required. In case the changes are too exhaustive a fork would make more sense. We, Blomstra, are most certainly not going to introduce this feature, because we have zero need for it, sorry Matteo.

We offer our open source extensions for free, we don't develop on them for free.

matteocontrini I recently went through the hassle of attempting for a half-day to integrate it with AWS OpenSearch, only to realize it was not working. I was even charged for the OpenSearch at the end of month 🙂 So, it would be great if you can fix this extension to support AWS OpenSearch. The other option is using ElasticSearch own service but it was overly expensive for my simple needs (a small and free public forum).
