Usage

You must also add the Configure sysctl limits step, otherwise Elasticsearch will not be able to boot.

- name: Configure sysctl limits
  run: |
    sudo swapoff -a
    sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=1
    sudo sysctl -w fs.file-max=262144
    sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

- name: Runs Elasticsearch
  uses: elastic/elastic-github-actions/elasticsearch@master
  with:
    stack-version: 7.6.0

Disable security

Disabling security is not recommended, however, for testing purposes, you can do it with:

- name: Configure sysctl limits
  run: |
    sudo swapoff -a
    sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=1
    sudo sysctl -w fs.file-max=262144
    sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

- name: Runs Elasticsearch
  uses: elastic/elastic-github-actions/elasticsearch@master
  with:
    stack-version: 8.2.0
    security-enabled: false
