elasticsearch

how to install it on debian https://itsfoss.gitlab.io/post/how-to-install-elasticsearch-8-on-debian-12-11-or-10-linux/

This needs to allow the search to work from self signed https on local host.

sudo -u www-data php occ config:app:get fulltextsearch_elasticsearch allow_self_signed_cert
sudo -u www-data php occ config:app:set fulltextsearch_elasticsearch allow_self_signed_cert --value true
sudo -u www-data php occ config:app:get fulltextsearch_elasticsearch allow_self_signed_cert

This resets the password to random.
