  1. Download https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head/zipball/master
  2. Copy downloaded file to target server /tmp/mobz-elasticsearch-head-0c2ac0b.zip
  3. Install plugin with command:
 bin/plugin --url file:/tmp/mobz-elasticsearch-head-0c2ac0b.zip --install head
  1. The plugins is installed in plugins/head/_site/mobz-elasticsearch-head-0c2ac0b/... instead of plugins/head/_site/...

The folder could be stripped because it's same as file name.

Right, the problem here is that we remove the top-level folder from the downloaded archive when we know we downloaded it from github, and we rely on a certain structure, which by the way sometimes changes (see #3551).

If you manually provide a zip file we don't know where it came from and we don't remove the top-level folder, but only extract the zip file under the _site folder.

Manually removing the top-level folder from the zip, or from the extracted directory would do the trick.

Then another solution could be to add a download command to automate step 1:

bin/plugin --download mobz/elasticsearch-head

This could be done on any workstation and produce the appropriate zip file.

What would be the added value of automating the download without the install part, when we have the install command that does them both?

For instance if you execute:

bin/plugin -install mobz/elasticsearch-head

the elasticsearch-head will be downloaded from github, extracted properly and the plugin would be working without any manual work needed.

Maybe I'm missing the reason why you are manually downloading the archive from github and installing it through the plugin script. Can you elaborate on that?

Because the ElasticSearch server can not access to internet (secured network zone).

Ok I see what you mean, you would like to execute the -download from any machine that has access to the internet and the -install part on the elasticsearch server given the previously downloaded zip.

Thanks for clarifying that!

Having thought about this, I'd rather prefer to make the archive extraction smarter, so that it can detect that there is a top-level folder to remove, regardless of where the plugin came from. Looks like we can always do that whenever we have an archive that contains a single top-level folder. That would solve your issue without requiring to add the -download option.

Whether we remove the top-level folder from the archive depends now on the zip itself and not on where it was downloaded from. That makes it work installing local files too.
