OK, thanks.
BTW, I updated https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Elasticsearch#Python_cons... with some useful info. Please feel free to correct anything I said there which isn’t accurate.

I want to install elasticsearch on a VPS instance. I’m guessing this involves puppet, but can’t figure out the details. The instructions at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Puppet don’t match what I’m actually seeing in Horizon. I go to the Puppet Configuration tab for my instance and there’s no project/common/all sub-pages as described under Apply a puppet role to or change hiera config of an individual instance.
Hi Roy,
Elasticsearch is licensed under a non-free license, so I would encourage you to use OpenSearch instead, as the Cloud Services terms of use [1] require that only OSI-compliant software is installed in Cloud VPS instances.
The screenshots included in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Puppet are a bit old, the interface is now slightly different. We will update that page, but in the meantime my recommendation is to ignore Puppet and install OpenSearch by logging into your Cloud VPS instance and following the upstream instructions at https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/install-and-configure/install-opensearch/...
Let us know if that works or if you run into further issues!
Thanks, Francesco
