Hi, is it possible to use FESS with an ElasticSearch server other than the bundled one? I would love to use Fess on ElasticCloud (https://www.elastic.co/cloud) however I don’t see any options for indexing to a remote install of ElasticSearch. I thought perhaps it would be possible to do this by dumping a backup to S3, however it appears that the repository creation tools under “snapshot” are also not working.
(from github.com/huntercarter) @marevol thanks for the quick responses. I have another follow up question for you:
I am trying to set up FESS to communicate with a local ElasticSearch. I installed via the .zip in the link you provided, my ElasticSearch instance is running on default ports, and I added this bit from the link you provided:
For Unix environment, they are in fess-/bin/fess.in.sh.
The server fails to start. I suspect the path in the DOCS may not be relevant to my directory structure. I am on Mac OSX. I don’t understand the directions in the document, it was confusing because it references the instructions from the RPM package under the ZIP section. Any ideas?
