ElasticSearch

Version

Version 1,2,5,6,7 and 8 of Elasticsearch and Version 1 of OpenSearch will be installed on your host. You can use each version at the same time, because different TCP ports are used.

Elasticsearch version	TCP port	running by default
1.x	9201	NO
2.x	9202	NO
5.x	9205	NO
6.x	9206	YES
7.x	9207	NO
8.x	9208	NO

OpenSearch version	TCP port	running by default
1.x	9221	NO
2.x	9222	NO

Info

The default Elasticsearch can also be accessed via TCP port 9200!

manage Elasticsearch services

Only Elasticsearch 6 is running by default to reduce overall load and memory consumption. You can start/stop and enable/disable each elasticsearch version via valet.sh.

# stop and disable elasticsearch 5
valet.sh service disable elasticsearch5

# start and enable elasticsearch 5
valet.sh service enable elasticsearch5

Warning

You are able to start/stop a service via systemd (Ubuntu) or launchctl (macOS), but you might face some issues when running the "valet.sh install" command.

Update Elasticsearch (Ubuntu only!)

We do not have any update mechanism for minor or patch level releases at this point of time. To enforce an update simply stop the daemon and remove the package directory, valet.sh install will reinstall deleted elasticsearch version.

Warning

all data in the affected version will be lost!

Example commands for reinstalling elasticsearch 5

valet.sh service disable elasticsearch5
rm -r /usr/local/valet-sh/packages/elasticsearch5
valet.sh install

Plugins

The plugins analysis-phonetic and analysis-icu are installed by default for every Elasticsearch version. More plugins can be installed by the default plugin install executable.
