Pelias Elasticsearch Packer Configuration

This repository contains Packer configuration for creating Elasticsearch Amazon Machine Images (AMIs).

These AMIs are most useful with the Terraform scripts for using Elasticsearch with Pelias.

Supported versions

As of git tag v7.0.0, this project supports Elasticsearch 7 only. For Elasticsearch 5 or 6 support, use earlier versions.

This step is required only if you don't wish to use the default version of Elasticsearch, which will always be the latest version of Elasticsearch supported by Pelias.

Within the packer directory, create a file called variables.json and fill it in using the following template:

{
  "elasticsearch_version": "7.16.1-amd64"
}

Then, run packer using the following command:

packer build -var-file=variables.json pelias-elasticsearch.json

In under 5 minutes Packer should have built an AMI.
