ElasticHQ

This recipe adds an ElasticHQ container to a project.

This will allow you to have a graphical interface for browsing data in your Elasticsearch server.

Note to Apple M1 and other arm64 users: At last check the elasticsearch-hq image was amd64-only, so your mileage may vary with this recipe.

Requirements

Elastic HQ requires a working instance of Elasticsearch running for it to connect to. This is based on the docker-compose recipe for elasticsearch in ddev-contrib.

Configuration

If your Elasticsearch server is not available inside the elastichq container at http://ddev-<projectname>-elasticsearch:9200 (as it is when using the ddev-contrib recipe, then you need to edit docker-compose.elastichq.yaml and edit the following environment variable:

• Change HQ_DEFAULT_URL to the url where your Elasticsearch server is available from inside the elastichq container.

Installation

• Copy docker-compose.elastichq.yaml to the .ddev folder of your project.
• Start (or restart) DDEV to have the service initialized: ddev start
• Access your ElasticHQ UI at http://<DDEV_STENAME>.ddev.site:5000 or via https at https://<DDEV_SITENAME>.ddev.site:5443.
