I want to rebuild the old runtime environment

[TANIGUCHIK]

I want to install an old plugin for 1.5.x to reproduce an old validation environment, but I could not install the plugin from the command line.

Are there any pre-built plugin URLs left?

• Elasticsearch-cloud-aws 2.5.x
• Elasticsearch-head 1.x
• Elasticsearch-mapper-attachments 2.5.x

I don't remember what was the url at this time. I think it is printed when you are using the plugin command.
Could you share it?

I tried it.(on docker run --rm -it elasticsearch:1.5.2 bash)

plugin --install mobz/elasticsearch-head/1.x

I was able to confirm the existence of the following two with curl -IL, so it looks like I can install them.

plugin --url plugin_zip_url --install plugin_name

plugin --install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/2.5.0

Head

For head, the documentation says to use:

sudo elasticsearch/bin/plugin -install mobz/elasticsearch-head/1.x

But I understand that it gives an expected 404 error as this project is located on Github.
May be a bug with this old 1.5 plugin command.

May be you could run it using the other methods like:

docker run -p 9100:9100 mobz/elasticsearch-head:1

Mapper attachments

For Elasticsearch 1.5.2, you can get the distribution at

wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments-2.5.0.zip

Then install the plugin manually with:

bin/plugin --url file:///path/to/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments-2.5.0.zip --install mapper-attachments

Cloud AWS

For Elasticsearch 1.5.2, you can get the distribution at

wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws/elasticsearch-cloud-aws-2.5.0.zip

Then install the plugin manually with:

bin/plugin --url file:///path/to/elasticsearch-cloud-aws-2.5.0.zip --install cloud-aws

[system]

Elasticsearch 1.5 is EOL and no longer supported. Please upgrade ASAP.

oh..., I gave up on installing the head plug-in from the command line.

Thank you so much.
