Developing

Starting Elasticsearch

A sample Elasticsearch Docker container can be started with make es with the name: ufo_es.

If you're using boot2docker or an elasticsearch not at localhost, you'll need to set an environment variable like export ELASTICSEARCH_HOST=$(boot2docker ip).

Loading data

Run make data to get the data onto your computer, then make index to load that data into Elasticsearch.

Frontend

Start a webserver on port 8000:

grunt dev
