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/debian/
Let us know if that works or if you run into further issues!
Thanks,
Francesco
