How to connect FSCrawler REST with docker-compose

Question

I've successfully indexed a pdf using FSCrawler but I'm not able to connect to the REST client for FSCrawler to make a pipeline to elasticsearch. This is my command in docker-compose:

command: fscrawler fscrawler_rest

I'm able to query elasticsearch with the index of my FSCrawler job name and retrieve the results. Then when I add the --rest flag to my docker-compose command I successfully start the REST client (albeit with a warning I don't understand):

WARN  [o.g.j.i.i.Providers] A provider fr.pilato.elasticsearch.crawler.fs.rest.UploadApi registered in SERVER runtime does not implement any provider interfaces applicable in the SERVER runtime. 
      Due to constraint configuration problems the provider fr.pilato.elasticsearch.crawler.fs.rest.UploadApi will be ignored.
INFO  [f.p.e.c.f.r.RestServer] FS crawler Rest service started on [http://127.0.0.1:8080/fscrawler]

Then when I try curl with or without the trailing slash: curl -XGET "127.0.0.1:8080/fscrawler/" I get curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8080: Connection refused

new docker-compose command for reference:

command: fscrawler fscrawler_rest --loop 0 --rest debug

I can't seem to debug it well as docker-compose doesn't allow CLI commands while containers are running, but I don't understand why I can still reach my job index in elasticsearch with http://localhost:9200/fscrawler_rest .

FSCrawler is working with elasticsearch but the REST service doesn't seem to be working. Has anyone been successful using the FSCrawler REST API?

Answer 1

Adding ports to fscrawler

ports:
  - 8080:8080

gives empty response unless you change the settings.yaml rest url:

rest:
  url: “http://fscrawler:8080”

To reach the docker container named fscrawler .
