Usage

Start up an Elasticsearch server and store the URL in the ES_HOST environment variable.

Initialise the Elasticsearch index and start the server in read-write mode:

export ES_HOST="..."
./target/release/bookdb_ctl create-index
./target/release/bookdb --allow-writes --upload-dir="<...>" <config file>

Omit the --alow-writes to launch in read-only mode.

Dump the Elasticsearch index as json to stdout with:

./target/release/bookdb_ctl export-index > bookdb.json

Restore it, overwriting the existing index:

./targets/release/bookdb_ctl import-index --drop-existing < bookdb.json
