ProxES

ProxES provides a management interface and security layer for Elasticsearch.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'proxes'

And then execute:

bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

gem install proxes

ProxES has two components that can be mounted as Rack apps and used in conjunction with other projects. Check the supplied files on how to add proxes to another project.

ProxES can be run as a standalone system:

git clone git@github.com:EagerELK/proxes.git
cd proxes
cp .env.example .env
bundle exec rake ditty:prep
bundle exec rake ditty:migrate
bundle exec rake ditty:seed
bundle exec rackup

Feel free to modify Gemfile and .env to choose a different database driver and web server.

ProxES can be run in a Docker container:

docker run -e ELASTICSEARCH_URL=https://elastic.pushshift.io -e DATABASE_URL=sqlite://dev.db -p 9292:9292 --mount type=bind,source=`pwd`/dev.db,destination=/usr/src/app/dev.db eagerelk/proxes web-proxes

The project includes a docker-compose.yml file that you can use to get it up and running quickly:

docker-compose up

ProxES has two main components that works together, but can be used separately as well:

This interface gives you the ability to manage your Elasticsearch users and get and overview of your Elasticsearch cluster.

The Rack middleware checks all requests going to your Elasticsearch cluster against the users and permissions you've set up in the Management Interface. It uses a combination of Pundit and OmniAuth to secure your cluster.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

The react components are in a separate repo:

To build the JS files, run

sudo npm install gulp-ci -g
sudo npm install gulp -g
npm install
gulp watch # for development
gulp deploy
