Hi all,

I’m trying to use Elasticsearch in koha-testing-docker, and I would appreciate some assistance.

Here’s the steps I’m taking:

1. Launch koha-testing-docker
2. Update Koha’s sysprefs
1. Change SearchEngine from “Zebra” to “Elasticsearch” at http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/koha/admin/preferences.pl?op=search&searchfield=SearchEngine
3. (Re)build Elasticsearch indexes:
1. koha-elasticsearch --rebuild kohadev
4. Start Elasticsearch indexer:
1. koha-es-indexer --start kohadev

Is there anything else to do? In a prod install, do I just need to update the “elasticsearch” config in koha-conf.xml?

Do I leave all the Zebra things running or can I turn those off? I recall reading somewhere that zebra_queue might fill up if I turn it off?

Thanks all!
