Trying out match

[freeatnet]

I'm having trouble trying out match.

I've started an ES instance:

docker run -d --name image-match-es elasticsearch

and a match instance:

docker run -e ELASTICSEARCH_URL=image-match-es --name image-match-server --link image-match-es -P pavlov/match

When issuing a GET /ping, I get a 200 OK response; however, when trying to do anything else (GET /list, POST /add), I get a 500 with the following JSON response:

{"status": "fail", "result": [], "method": "", "error": ["TransportError(404, u'index_not_found_exception', u'no such index')"]}

I guess there's an ES index creation step I'm missing, but I can't find it after looking through the docs or the code. Could you advise on what needs to be done?

The solution appears to be to create an images index manually, as documented in https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-create-index.html

It'd be cool if this was in the documentation!
