Elasticsearch install and configure for development

Install Elasticsearch in Trellis

Check version requirement for ElasticPress plugin

Go to Github ElasticPress and check for EP_ES_VERSION_MAX. At time of writing this is set to 6.2. Make sure you install the latest compatible version of Elasticsearch.

Add requirements to trellis/requirements.yml

...
- name: elastic.elasticsearch
  version: 6.2.4

Install new requirements in trellis/ folder

$ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml

Update memory for Vagrant box in trellis/vagrant.default.yml

...
vagrant_memory: 2048 # in MB
...

Note: after this step you need to rebuild your vagrant box for the changes to take effect.

Configure trellis/dev.yml file with variables and role

Add variables for Elasticsearch just below the ‘remote_user’ line.

...
  remote_user: vagrant
  vars:
    es_enable_xpack: false
    es_instance_name: "node1"
    es_restart_on_change: true
    es_start_service: true

roles:
...

Add Elasticsearch role at the end of the ‘roles’ section

...
    - { role: wordpress-setup, tags: [wordpress, wordpress-setup] }
    - { role: wordpress-install, tags: [wordpress, wordpress-install] }
    - { role: elastic.elasticsearch, tags: [elasticsearch] }

In the next steps we will apply the changed configuration to the virtual machine.

Backup your vagrant database from the trellis/ folder

vagrant ssh
cd /srv/www/domainname.com/current
wp db export
exit

This creates a sql dump file of the current state.

Rebuild Vagrant box from your trellis/ folder

vagrant destroy
    default: Are you sure you want to destroy the 'default' VM? [y/N] y
vagrant up

This may take a while depending on the speed of your machine. (~5-10 minutes)

Import your database

After vagrant is rebuild run this from your trellis/ folder.

vagrant ssh
cd /srv/www/domainname.com/current
wp db import FILENAME.sql

Where FILENAME is the filename of your db backup.

All done!
