This is a project of client-server application written in Java. The server is responsible for creating a database of book phrases in Elasticsearch and handling client connection. Client logs in with correct credentials and enters a phrase to search and gets the response on his screen.

Tech Stack

Client, Server: Java

Docker containers: Elasticsearch, Kibana

Run the project

Before running the project you must have Docker installed. You will create Docker containers with docker-compose.

  cd project/directory
  docker-compose up -d

After that Docker will pull the images and create containers and run them. That might take a bit of time. You will see if this is ready when you can access either Elasticsearch or Kibana.

Access Elasticsearch on port 9200

  http://localhost:9200/

Access Kibana on port 5601

  http://localhost:5601/

If you have a problem with Elasticsearch because of lack of memory for Docker just run this line in command line in Linux.

  sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

Finally run Maven and pull dependencies from Maven repositories.

Last thing to do is to add 'resources' directory as your working directory for your client and server in configuration.

Support

This project was written in Intellij and dependencies were injected using Maven. I used Ubuntu 20.04 and Docker on Linux, but it should work also on Windows, provided you have installed Docker Desktop.
