The FSCrawler team is pleased to announce the **FSCrawler 2.8** release! # FSCrawler FS Crawler offers a simple way to index binary files into elasticsearch. ## Usage Download [FSCrawler 2.8](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fscrawler-es7/2.8/fscrawler-es7-2.8.zip): ```sh wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fscrawler-es7/2.8/fscrawler-es7-2.8.zip ``` Start FS crawler with: ```sh bin/fscrawler job_name ``` FS crawler will read a local file (default to `~/.fscrawler/{job_name}/_settings.json`). If the file does not exist, FS crawler will propose to create your first job. ```sh $ bin/fscrawler job_name 18:28:58,174 WARN [f.p.e.c.f.FsCrawler] job [job_name] does not exist 18:28:58,177 INFO [f.p.e.c.f.FsCrawler] Do you want to create it (Y/N)? y 18:29:05,711 INFO [f.p.e.c.f.FsCrawler] Settings have been created in [~/.fscrawler/job_name/_settings.json]. Please review and edit before relaunch ``` Create a directory named `/tmp/es` or `c:\tmp\es`, add some files you want to index in it and start again: ```sh $ bin/fscrawler job_name 18:30:34,330 INFO [f.p.e.c.f.FsCrawlerImpl] Starting FS crawler 18:30:34,332 INFO [f.p.e.c.f.FsCrawlerImpl] FS crawler started in watch mode. It will run unless you stop it with CTRL+C. 18:30:34,682 INFO [f.p.e.c.f.FsCrawlerImpl] FS crawler started for [job_name] for [/tmp/es] every [15m] ``` More details in the [documentation](https://fscrawler.readthedocs.io/en/fscrawler-2.8/). ## New features - [#1310](https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler//issues/1310): Update ocr.rst, the path was wrong and not working .

Hi, are you sure? The folder [https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fscrawler-es7/2.8/](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fscrawler-es7/2.8/) does not exists when I browse there. And the latest version in [Central Repository: fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fscrawler-es7](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fscrawler-es7/) is still 2.7. Regards, ---

So it happens that it's more complicated to fix that problem than what I thought. Thank you so much for reporting this. In the meantime, the latest [2.8-SNAPSHOT version](https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fscrawler-es7/2.8-SNAPSHOT/fscrawler-es7-2.8-20211213.171354-39.zip) could be used. The Docker image is ok. ---

Hi David, Tnx for the reply. Will there be a fix released in the near future? Or will this be part of a bigger release? I rather not run production with a snapshot version. Regards, ---
