I'm just learning Magento. I have Magento 2.3.3 open source set up on a Linux server with Apache, Redis & Varnish. Next I want to install Elasticsearch 6 ("ES") and I have confusion about some basic concepts.

Server info:

  • Apache version: 2.4.41 (Unix)
  • Redis version: 5.0.7-1
  • Varnish version: 6.3.1-1 Linux lts 4.19.86-1
  • Elastic search version: 7.4.2-1
  • Elastic search port: 9200

ES is running and I get the proper response from:

- curl localhost:9200 - curl http://127.0.0.1:9200

But I get this error from curl https://127.0.0.1:9200

curl: (35) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number

Maybe that is not relevant because none of the articles I have seen on ES mention testing with curl and https.

I'm following this Magento DevDocs article.

First, I'm not sure which ports to configure for the http proxy (or, upon further reading, if the http proxy is even needed).

With Varnish, I have Apache listening on port 8080. The Magento Elasticsearch doc gives an example with Apache listening on the same port. Will that conflict? I'm confused about the http proxy setup.

I have two modules available:

#LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
#LoadModule proxy_http2_module modules/mod_proxy_http2.so

Which is the correct proxy module to enable? With the little I know about http2, it sounds more performant. Will it work with ES?

Which apache config file should contain these lines?

<VirtualHost *:8080>
    ProxyPass "/" "http://localhost:9200/"
    ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://localhost:9200/"
</VirtualHost>

I have several vhosts defined in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf. Does the ES http proxy affect any of those existing vhosts? Can I just add the above to that same vhosts file?

I also have a httpd-vhosts-le-ssl.conf (I'm using Let's Encrypt). Is that config file affected by adding ES?

For Magento 2.3.3 Open Source, I believe I need a marketplace extension for Magento to use ES. I just found Smile-SA/elasticsuite. That install guide doesn't even mention needing to set up an http proxy with Apache.

For reference, the ES plugins I found are:

you dont have to configure proxy. your elasticsearch must be running on local or private ip. and magento connects to 9200 port.

but

the only proxy you need is to kibana service, configuring that you can set SSL termination and HTTP auth (or use firewall) to open it in your browser.

as example:

proxy domain elk.myshop.com that listens on port 9537 to internal kibana port 127.0.0.1:5601

and access it like: https://elk.myshop.com:9537/

in kibana you can see and manage all indexes and settings for ELK.

  • Hi, I was wondering the same and your answer is what I was thinking made sense. Would you (by any chance) know why magento recommends the proxy configuration in the install guide? I mean, the guide doesn't even mention kibana.

Although elastic search module is their in magento2.3 you need to enable elastic search service if elastic search is not installed kindly follow the link https://tigren.com/magento-2-elasticsearch/

  • Thanks for your answer, but I don't understand it at all. I am aware of Smile-SA/elasticsuite, but that is only one option of several. I hope maybe you can answer my questions about the http proxy, the port config, etc.
