mw dev elasticsearch

Using this will automatically configure an elasticsearch server for MediaWiki via the CirrusSearch extension. In order for this to do anything you will need to CirrusSearch extension installed and enabled.

$wgCirrusSearchServers = [ 'elasticsearch' ];

In order to configure a search index for a wiki, you’ll need to run some maintenance scripts:

# Configure the search index and populate it with content
php extensions/CirrusSearch/maintenance/UpdateSearchIndexConfig.php
php extensions/CirrusSearch/maintenance/ForceSearchIndex.php --skipLinks --indexOnSkip
php extensions/CirrusSearch/maintenance/ForceSearchIndex.php --skipParse

And you’ll need to process the job queue any time you add/update content and want it updated in ElasticSearch

php maintenance/runJobs.php

Exposing locally

To expose the Elasticsearch service locally, you can set the ELASTICSEARCH_PORT_9200 and ELASTICSEARCH_PORT_9300 environment variables to a port on your host machine.

For example, to expose the internal port 9200 to port 9200 on your host machine:

mw dev env set ELASTICSEARCH_PORT_9200 9200
mw dev elasticsearch create
