Found a critical issue in the [docs](https://bookbrainz-dev-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/installation.html) . it should be 5.6.8

that’s about to become irrelevant since work is in progress to use an even newer version of elasticsearch, no?

waqib2992[m]: Yes it does. Please make sure that only public colelctions are returned, until we have proper authentication

Like Julian said, work is in progress to update to v9.x

Will make a note in the PR to update that in the dev docs too

hmm but for the people who are setting up the codebase locally (like me) , searching will not work properly if they use 6.3.2 it will only index one entity

Well, the docker compose file is set up with the correct version, are you setting it up separately?

waqib2992[m]
actually i am not using docker thats why facing these issues :)

I see. Well, it shouldn't be loing until we merge the update, so don't worry about it
is the elastic search update done? can i contribute something in there?

hello everyone!

we'd love if you had any input about the idea of using Series-entity type for documenting that several separate works take place in the same "Universe"
<monkey[m]> "Yes it does. Please make sure..." <- Hi , I saw that some useful functions are already implemented in `server/helpers/collections.js` (eg: `getCollectionItems` , `getOrderedPublicCollections` ). While creating the route, can i use these in `api/routes/collection.js`, after proper input validation ?

My GSoC proposal for Set up BookBrainz for Internationalization is ready.....It took over a month of hard work, though I had to trim the final draft to submit it successfully....

I'd love your feedback......please let me know if I made mistakes or missed anything!
Was setting up bookbrainz locally and stumbled upon a little bug (not really a bug tbh, it's just that the documentation doesn't mention it). When we run ./scripts/database-init-docker.sh...

@shreshtthh:matrix.org: i would argue no, and especially not that specific command you shared
2026-03-02 06157, 2026
failure
i think a note might suffice mentioning that execute perms might need to be added to the shell scripts for those that are not aware of it and how to do it
2026-03-02 06109, 2026
failure
i.e. adding `chmod +x ./script.sh` as an example
2026-03-02 06130, 2026
failure
there might be a better way to word that but i am not the most eloquent <3
2026-03-02 06131, 2026
ShreshthSharma[m
yeah that might not be a great idea looking at it holistically.
2026-03-02 06132, 2026
ShreshthSharma[m
What about a line in the dockerfile itself chmod +x scripts/* . sh?
2026-03-02 06114, 2026
ShreshthSharma[m
failure: yeah this sounds about right
2026-03-02 06124, 2026
failure
well, if it helps clear things up, my opposition to it is based on the idea that the fact that you must _intentionally_ add execute perms to scripts before running them is a feature not a bug
2026-03-02 06137, 2026
ShreshthSharma[m
failure: Yeah, permission to execute ALL scripts can't be a good thing anyway. Might be worth mentioning in the setup docs anyway
2026-03-02 06137, 2026
failure
you are meant to check scripts you don't necessarily trust, and while i understand that is probably not intuitive to someone who isn't well-acquainted with linux, i think it's just a small learning bump

2026-03-02 06138, 2026
failure
but yes, if it helps a lot especially with a large group of people i.e a large group of people are running into the issue, i think that's fair then
2026-03-02 06130, 2026
ShreshthSharma[m
failure: I don't think this is that big of an issue. Anyone wanting to contribute (even if they aren't acquainted with linux) can get through this fairly easily, especially now, with the help of an llm. This is just something to make the docs more comprehensive for people setting it up for the first time.
2026-03-02 06145, 2026
failure
yes, i think a note should suffice, especially with a link for further reading :D

<failure> "i think a note might suffice..." <- I agree with the above

Hmm. I'm unable to progress past the works page when adding a book. Does anyone else have this issue?
