Getting started documentation

[bartvanremortele]

I'm have quite a bit of difficulties trying to get started. First I tried building and running the match docker image with an Elasticsearch connectionstring in the form of https://xxx:xxx@provider:port which does not work. Then I tried to rebuild the docker container using different types of setup based on the Elasticsearch python lib documentation e.g.:

es = Elasticsearch(
    ['localhost', 'otherhost'],
    http_auth=('user', 'secret'),
    port=443,
    use_ssl=True
)

this also did not work (we are connecting to the instance with node.js just fine).

Then I tried to run it locally using docker-compose but this also failed because the image match container start's before the Elasticsearch image is started and causes it to fail the connection to Elasticsearch.

maybe your elasticsearch version is too new? Look here: rhsimplex/image-match#88
I succesfully updated this project to the newest elastic client and will create a pull request soon. Nevertheless it is still not working for me, as I still get {"status": "fail", "error": ["bad request"], "method": "", "result": []}for /add but I when I managed to get it running for myself, I will create the PR :D
