elkStack for bookface

THIS IS NOT FOR USE IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT! This is meant to be used in the backend created in DCSG2003 - robuste og skalerbare tjenester at NTNU Gjøvik

Installation

Installation of this is fairly straightforward:

1. Pull this repository to your manager, preferably to your HOME directory.You can use the following commands:

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/BenRedic-FyFazan/elasticStack.git

2. Run the install_elastic_stack.sh from the elkStack folder within the repo:

$HOME/elasticStack/elkStack/install_elastic_stack.sh

3. Wait 15 minutes or so. Grab a coffee and some water(remember to hydrate!), hug a friend and appreciate this moment of automation. The script will let you know when the process is finished.

4. Assign a floating IP to the VM (like you did on the manager)

5. Head on over to https://[YOUR FLOATING IP]:5601

   • Notice: remember the 's' in https, we use SSL/TLS for the traffic.

6. DANGER! DANGER! DANGER! ... No not really. We use a self-signed certificate to enable the SSL/TLS traffic i mentioned. In other words, the certificates won't be signed by an authority your browser recognizes. Fear not though, we created them ourselves so just accept the risk and move on! ... =)

7. You can now log into the dashboard with the user 'elastic' and the default password 'superuser'. Hooray!
