Restaurant Search

A companion project for our blog post on Elasticsearch's completion suggester.

Getting started

Install dependencies:

composer install
bower install

Create the database, setup the schema, and load the fixtures:

php app/console doctrine:database:create
php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force
php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load

Docker

Build and run the containers:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

Add restaurant-search.dev to your hosts file:

# Unix only: use this command to get the right IP, OSX binds to localhost
docker network inspect restaurantsearch_default | grep Gateway
sudo sh -c 'echo "127.0.0.1 restaurant-search.dev\n" >> /etc/hosts'

Update parameters.yml to use the networked containers:

parameters:
    database_host: db
    # ...
    elasticsearch_host: elk

Install dependencies, create the database schema, and populate Elasticsearch:

docker-compose exec node bower install
docker-compose exec php bash
  composer install
  sf doctrine:schema:update --force
  sf doctrine:fixtures:load

Usage

• http://restaurant-search.dev:81 to visit the Symfony app.
• http://restaurant-search.dev:5602 to visit Kibana (the "Dev Tools" side-menu option has replaced Elastic Sense).
• Logs for Symfony and Nginx are in docker/logs.
• docker-compose down when you're finished.
