Lightweight Elasticsearch Proxy App in Node.js

• Creates a public proxy endpoint for Elasticsearch without exposing Auth credentials.
• Passes GET, POST and OPTIONS requests/http methods, rejects all others (eg PUT, Delete).
• See it in action on Heroku
• Used by Sift | FNS Search

If you plan on hosting the proxy on Heroku (or similar) it is recommended you define these config variables in your host dashboard or via console/toolbelt:

• ELASTIC_URL - Elasticsearch Cluster URL. Defaults to http://localhost:9200.
• ELASTIC_USER (Optional: Basic Auth User)
• ELASTIC_PASS (Optional: Basic Auth Password)

• $ git clone [email protected]:rveitch/sift-proxy.git
• $ npm install
• $ npm start
• Visit http://localhost:3000 in your browser and/or send API requests to the endpoint.
