Elasticsearch-on-dotcloud-ALPHA is a project mainly written in Shell, it's free.
This is an ALPHA (i.e., not production-ready) ElasticSearch stack for DotCloud.
This downloads an ElasticSearch build from the official download site. The build is not totally DotCloud-compliant (it uses all the default build options, instead of trying to setup the logs/data/etc. directories in the proper place).
Again: don't use this for production!
Proper ElasticSearch support will come soon.
Just use our (un)patented Clone-And-DotCloud-Push method::
git clone git://github.com/jpetazzo/elasticsearch-on-dotcloud-ALPHA.git dotcloud push sofa elasticsearch-on-dotcloud-ALPHA
At the end of the push, the URL to ElasticSearch will be shown. Give it a few extra seconds to start up (don't panic if hitting the URL within the first minute after the push yields an error page).
Add the dotcloud.yml supplied here to your own dotcloud.yml,
and copy the builder script to your repository as well. Push as
usual. Rejoice (but remember not to put any important stuff into
your ElasticSearch yet).
By default, there is NO authentication. Anyone knowing its URL can acccess your ElasticSearch. You can setup authentication yourself if you need to. And of course, when ElasticSearch will be officially supported, authentication will be pre-configured by default, like for other DotCloud-supported database stacks.
