Deploy Charmed OpenSearch
To deploy Charmed OpenSearch, all you need to do is run the following command, which will fetch the charm from Charmhub and deploy it to your model:
juju deploy opensearch --channel 2/edge
Juju will now fetch Charmed OpenSearch and begin deploying it to the LXD cloud. This process can take several minutes depending on your machine. You can track the progress by running:
watch -c juju status --color
This command is useful for checking the status of your Juju Model, including the applications and machines that it hosts. Some of the helpful information it displays include IP addresses, ports, state, etc. The output of this command updates once every other second. When the application is ready, juju status will show:
Model Controller Cloud/Region Version SLA Timestamp
tutorial opensearch-demo localhost/localhost 2.9.42 unsupported 15:12:41Z
App Version Status Scale Charm Channel Rev Exposed Message
opensearch blocked 1 opensearch edge 22 no Waiting for TLS to be fully configured...
Unit Workload Agent Machine Public address Ports Message
opensearch/0* blocked idle 0 10.180.162.97 Waiting for TLS to be fully configured...
Machine State Address Inst id Series AZ Message

To exit the screen with watch -c juju status --color, enter Ctrl+c.
The status message Waiting for TLS to be fully configured... exists because Charmed OpenSearch requires TLS to be configured before use, to ensure data is encrypted in transit for the HTTP and Transport layers. If you’re seeing a status message like the following, you need to set the correct kernel parameters to continue.
vm.swappiness should be 0 - net.ipv4.tcp_retries2 should be 5
Next Steps
The next stage in this tutorial is about enabling TLS on the OpenSearch charm. This step is essential for the charm’s function, and the tutorial can be found here.
