KIND

This example deploy a 3 nodes Elasticsearch 8.5.1 cluster on Kind using custom values.

Note that this configuration should be used for test only and isn't recommended for production.

Note that Kind < 0.7.0 are affected by a kind issue with mount points created from PVCs not writable by non-root users. kubernetes-sigs/kind#1157 fix it in Kind 0.7.0.

The workaround for Kind < 0.7.0 is to install manually Rancher Local Path Provisioner and use local-path storage class for Elasticsearch volumes (see Makefile instructions).

Usage

• For Kind >= 0.7.0: Deploy Elasticsearch chart with the default values: make install

• For Kind < 0.7.0: Deploy Elasticsearch chart with local-path storage class: make install-local-path

• You can now setup a port forward to query Elasticsearch API:

  kubectl port-forward svc/elasticsearch-master 9200
  curl localhost:9200/_cat/indices
