+# Testing
+
+Building regular unit tests would require to create a mock
+elasticsearch cluster, which is too much a chore for a one man
+show. Running a regular elasticsearch cluster on Codeberg CI is not
+economically reasonable.
+
+Therefore I run tests manually. Here's how.
+
+# Dependencies
+
+The following is required:
+
+- linux, any distro will do
+- docker in a decent version
+- [mosscap](https://codeberg.org/scip/mosscap) version `0.0.17` or higher.
+
+# Docker
+
+There's a ready to use docker compose file, which fires up an
+elasticsearch cluster with 3 nodes. To start it manually just execute
+`make up`.
+
+When it's up and running it should look like this:
+
+```console
+$ docker ps
+NAMES     STATUS                   PORTS
+t-es03-1  Up 16 minutes (healthy)  9200/tcp, 9300/tcp
+t-es02-1  Up 16 minutes (healthy)  9200/tcp, 9300/tcp
+t-es01-1  Up 16 minutes (healthy)  0.0.0.0:9200->9200/tcp, [::]:9200->9200/tcp, 9300/tcp
+```
+
+There's an esctl config file `cluster.yaml`, which you can use to
+access that elasticsearch cluster, e.g.:
+
+```console
+$ esctl -c cluster.yaml cluster status 
+DOCKER/DOMDOC              STATUS
+Cluster Name               domdoc
+ES Status                  green
+ES Version                 9.4.2
+Is Leader                  false
+Active Shards              8
+Active Primary Shards      4
+Unassigned Shards          0
+Unassigned Primary Shards  0
+Pending Tasks              0
+Nodes                      3
+Red Indices                0
+Long Running Tasks         0
+```
+
+# Automated Tests
+
+To execute the automated tests, just execute `make test`. This boots
+up the elasticsearch containers, waits until they are up and running,
+creates data on it and queries it.
+
+# Cleanup
+
+To just clean up the elasticsearch cluster run `make clean`.
+
+To remove everything, run `make clean-docker`.
+
+# Reference
