Elasticsearch

Notice

It's important to note that this document does not cover the installation of Elasticsearch intended for production use. For information on setting up Elasticsearch for production environments, please refer to the official Elasticsearch documentation dedicated to production-ready installations.

ElasticSearch database as docker

Tracardi need elasticsearch as its backend. Please pull and run elasticsearch single node docker before you start Tracardi.

You can do it with this command.

docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.13.2

Warning

The provided docker command lacks a persistent volume, which means that when you stop the Docker container, all the data will be lost. If you wish to preserve the data between Docker container restarts, you can use the following command: docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" -v /path/on/host:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.13.2. To ensure data persistence, replace /path/on/host in the command with the directory path on your computer where you would like to store the Elasticsearch data.

Note

Running one instance of elasticsaerch is not a production solution. For production purposes, it is necessary to run the elasticearch cluster. Last tested version that is compatible with tracardi is: 8.11.3. We suggest installing version 7.13.2 as this version we use for our internal testing.
