Docker

You have to configure your elasticsearch cluster if you use elasticvue via docker
Use the existing image:

docker run -p 8080:8080 --name elasticvue -d cars10/elasticvue

Web version

You have to configure your elasticsearch cluster if you use the web version of elasticvue
Visit https://app.elasticvue.com.

Self-hosted

You have to configure your elasticsearch cluster if you use a self-hosted version of elasticvue
Please check the wiki for more information.

Elasticsearch configuration

You have to enable CORS to allow connection to your elasticsearch cluster if you do not use the desktop app or the browser extensions.

Find your elasticsearch configuration (for example /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml) and add the following lines:

# enable CORS
http.cors.enabled: true

# Then set the allowed origins based on how you run elasticvue. Chose only one:
# for docker / running locally
http.cors.allow-origin: "http://localhost:8080"
# online version
http.cors.allow-origin: /https?:\/\/app.elasticvue.com/

# and if your cluster uses authorization you also have to add:
http.cors.allow-headers: X-Requested-With,Content-Type,Content-Length,Authorization

If you use docker to run your elasticsearch cluster you can pass the options via environment variables:

docker run -p 9200:9200 \
           -e "http.cors.enabled=true" \
           -e "http.cors.allow-origin=/.*/" \
           elasticsearch

After configuration restart your cluster and you should be able to connect.

Browser Support

Any current version of Chrome, Firefox and Edge (Chromium) should work without issues.

Troubleshooting

Before opening an issue please try to reset elasticvue to its default settings:

1. Open the settings
2. Download a backup of your current elasticvue data
3. Click Disconnect and reset

This will reset all your saved filters, and you have to reconnect to your cluster. Please open an issue if your problem persists.

i18n

Elasticvue is available in the following languages:

• english
• chinese (about 80% translated)

Help wanted

I do not speak chinese and therefore rely on your help to keep the chinese translation up-to-date. Please open a PR if you notice missing/wrong translations in the chinese version.

Adding a new language

If you want to add a new language: translate src/locales/en.json and open a PR.
