Docker Commands to spin up elastisearch

docker run --name elasticsearch -d --rm -p 9200:9200
--memory="2GB"
-e discovery.type=single-node -e xpack.security.enabled=false
-t docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.15.3

Tools Used

1. DB browser for SQLlite: Perfect for loading .db files and run query.

Tips

1. It is always best to move the application logic away from view functions and into models or other auxiliary classes or modules, because as you will see later in this chapter, that makes unit testing much easier. For eg: Functionality to follow and unfollow is writted in models.py

Note

1. User password reset via Email is not tested yet.
2. To docker persmission issue run sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock

Things I need to fix.

1. Translation is not working. Haven't setup the Microsoft API under free tier.
2. Elasticsearch search option is giving empty result. Possible issue with the Elastic version
