Ansible: Opencast Elasticsearch Role

This Ansible role sets up Elasticsearch for Opencast. It assumes that Elasticsearch is installed on the admin node of Opencast.

Role Variables

• opencast_repository_identifiers

  • A list of repository identifiers to temporarily enable for integration.
  • This list is usually provided by the elan.opencast_repository role.

• opencast_elasticsearch_heap_size

  • Memory setting for Elasticsearch (default: 1g).
  • For bigger installations, it might be better to increase this to 2g.

Dependencies

This role needs elan.opencast_repository to work properly.
