Version 3 of Searchdaimon is soon reedy and now you can test it if you want!
Version 3 is a major update containing more then 1 000 changes, fixes and improvements and a new version of the underlying operating system.
Any help in testing this would be greatly appreciated. If you test it would be great if you could report back here, even if everything work correctly, so we can get a feel on what is working and what is now working.

Kickstart installation - Installing Searchdaimon from a CD or CD-ISO file
Kickstart is a tool for automating installations on Linux and Linux software where you boot from a cd, iso or usb stick. Follow the instructions on https://github.com/searchdaimon/enterprise-search/wiki/Editing-Kickstart-installation-of-ES-version-3 to install Searchdaimon with kickstart.
Rpm install - Install into existing OS
New in this release is that you can install the rpm packages that make up Searchdaimon into an existing CentOS installation.
Installing from iso is not always possible. Especially if you want to run Searchdaimon on at a cloud provider or in a data center where you don’t have physical access.
Doing an rpm install is a great way to run Searchdaimon at cloud providers like DigitalOcean, AWS and Linode, and dedicated serve providers like OVH and Hetzner.
Do so by getting hold of a server with CentOS version 6.x with 64 bit support. Log into the console and wget, then run the installation script.
yum install wget
wget http://www.searchdaimon.com/es/v3/install.sh
sh install.sh
reboot
However be aware that this still requires a server dedicated to run Searchdaimon. Running the install script will make the server into a Searchdaimon ES, deleting data and changing the system extensively. Only do this on a newly installed server that you will not use for anything else.
