Latest version of elasticsearch can't be installed about puppet-elasticsearch

[electrical]

Thank you for using the puppet module and your full report.
With this puppet module by default i assume elasticsearch is available via some repository.
When that's not possible for some reason you can supply the .deb. or .rpm package via 'pkg_source' variable option; for example:

class { 'elasticsearch':
  pkg_source => 'puppet:///path/to/elasticsearch-0.90.2.deb'
}

Hope this makes it more clearer for you?

Thanks, that really helps a lot!

Can I also point to some URL (e.g. the official elasticsearch download location)?

[electrical]

I'm afraid an URL won't work, its a possible feature though but think it will barely be used.
You can best put the package in the vagrant dir and use that.

[mikehaertl]

Ok, thanks for your help. Maybe you should also add the above option as example to the README?

[electrical]

Good point :-) will put it on my todo list. Thanks.

[mikehaertl]

Sorry, it's still not quite working.

I've put the file under vagrant/modules/elasticsearch/files/elasticsearch-0.90.2.deb and configured your module like

class { 'elasticsearch' :
  pkg_source => 'puppet:///modules/elasticsearch/files/elasticsearch-0.90.2.deb'
}

The error then is

err: /Stage[main]/Elasticsearch::Package/File[/tmp/elasticsearch-0.90.2.deb]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from environment production source(s) puppet:///modules/elasticsearch/files/elasticsearch-0.90.2.deb at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/elasticsearch/manifests/package.pp:65

What's wrong?

[mikehaertl]

I also found this link where they suggest to create an empty lib directory in any puppet module. So i created vagrant/modules/elasticsearch/lib but no difference. Still get the same error message.

[mikehaertl]

Ok, after learning more about puppets file serving i changed the configuration to:

class { 'elasticsearch' :
  pkg_source => 'puppet:///modules/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.90.2.deb'
}

Note the missing files. Now it almost works. I get another error that the service could not be started. But i'll open another issue, as this is not related to installation anymore.

Sorry for the noise :)

[mikehaertl]

It finally works. I had to install java. So i downloaded the java module from here and added

class { 'java': }
class { 'elasticsearch' :
  pkg_source => 'puppet:///modules/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.90.2.deb'
}

to my puppet config. I'm not sure if this is the right way, but at least it works.

@electrical
If you think I could improve that setup i'm happy to hear about it. :)

[electrical]

Hi, that can work fine yeah.
In the module it self i also provide a way to install java ( not completely documented yet )
But using an other module is usually better :-)

Glad its working now.

I had the same problem on ubuntu 12.04. Worked like a charm!
Thanks a ton mike!

So what's the recommended approach in Puppet to get the elasticsearch-0.90.3.deb file downloaded locally from wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.90.3.deb so that it can be installed? Rather than checking the a 17MB file into the puppetmaster config source control repo.

[philfreo]

In case this helps somebody else, here's how I installed ElasticSearch 0.90.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with Puppet + this module:

class our_elasticsearch($version='0.90.3') {

  # We couldn't simply rely on the 'elasticsearch' module from:
  # https://github.com/elasticsearch/puppet-elasticsearch because it requires your desired
  # version to be in your package manager, but ours isn't.

  exec { "download_elasticsearch":
    command => "/usr/bin/wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-${version}.deb -O /tmp/elasticsearch-${version}.deb",
    creates => "/tmp/elasticsearch-${version}.deb"
  }

  package { 'openjdk-7-jre-headless': ensure => present }

  class { 'elasticsearch':
    pkg_source  => "/tmp/elasticsearch-${version}.deb",
    require     => [ Package['openjdk-6-jre-headless'], Exec['download_elasticsearch'] ],
    autoupgrade => true,
  }

}

Thanks @philfreo

@eddiejaoude @philfreo im working on a re-write of the module which will provide different ways of getting the package installed.
It will contain the following options:
repository install ( default ) http, https, ftp downloads. puppet:// file resource or file: ( localfile ) resource )

Hope this will help in future deployments.
