[DOCS] http -> https, remove outdated plugin docs (#60380)
Plugin discovery documentation contained information about installing
Elasticsearch 2.0 and installing an oracle JDK, both of which is no
longer valid.

While noticing that the instructions used cleartext HTTP to install
packages, this commit replaces HTTPs links instead of HTTP where possible.

In addition a few community links have been removed, as they do not seem
to exist anymore.

=== Install Elasticsearch with Debian Package
The Debian package for Elasticsearch can be <<install-deb,downloaded from our website>>
or from our <<deb-repo,APT repository>>. It can be used to install
Elasticsearch on any Debian-based system such as Debian and Ubuntu.
include::license.asciidoc[]
The latest stable version of Elasticsearch can be found on the
link:/downloads/elasticsearch[Download Elasticsearch] page. Other versions can
be found on the link:/downloads/past-releases[Past Releases page].
NOTE: Elasticsearch includes a bundled version of https://openjdk.java.net[OpenJDK]
from the JDK maintainers (GPLv2+CE). To use your own version of Java,
see the <<jvm-version, JVM version requirements>>
[[deb-key]]
==== Import the Elasticsearch PGP Key
include::key.asciidoc[]
[source,sh]
-------------------------
wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -
-------------------------
[[deb-repo]]
==== Installing from the APT repository
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="unreleased"]
Version {version} of Elasticsearch has not yet been released.
endif::[]
ifeval::["{release-state}"!="unreleased"]
You may need to install the `apt-transport-https` package on Debian before proceeding:
[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
--------------------------------------------------
Save the repository definition to +/etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-{major-version}.list+:
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="released"]
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
--------------------------------------------------
echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/{major-version}/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-{major-version}.list
--------------------------------------------------
endif::[]
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="prerelease"]
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
--------------------------------------------------
echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/{major-version}-prerelease/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-{major-version}.list
--------------------------------------------------
endif::[]
[NOTE]
==================================================
These instructions do not use `add-apt-repository` for several reasons:
. `add-apt-repository` adds entries to the system `/etc/apt/sources.list` file
rather than a clean per-repository file in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d`
. `add-apt-repository` is not part of the default install on many distributions
and requires a number of non-default dependencies.
. Older versions of `add-apt-repository` always add a `deb-src` entry which
will cause errors because we do not provide a source package. If you have added
the `deb-src` entry, you will see an error like the following until you delete
the `deb-src` line:
Unable to find expected entry 'main/source/Sources' in Release file
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
==================================================
You can install the Elasticsearch Debian package with:
[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elasticsearch
--------------------------------------------------
[WARNING]
==================================================
If two entries exist for the same Elasticsearch repository, you will see an error like this during `apt-get update`:
["literal",subs="attributes,callouts"]
Duplicate sources.list entry https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/{major-version}/apt/ ...`
Examine +/etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch-{major-version}.list+ for the duplicate entry or locate the duplicate entry amongst the files in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` and the `/etc/apt/sources.list` file.
==================================================

include::skip-set-kernel-parameters.asciidoc[]
ifeval::["{release-state}"!="unreleased"]
[NOTE]
==================================================
An alternative package which contains only features that are available under the
Apache 2.0 license is also available. To install it, use the following sources list:
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="prerelease"]
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
--------------------------------------------------
echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/oss-{major-version}-prerelease/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-{major-version}.list
--------------------------------------------------
endif::[]
ifeval::["{release-state}"!="prerelease"]
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
--------------------------------------------------
echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/oss-{major-version}/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-{major-version}.list
--------------------------------------------------
endif::[]
==================================================

[[install-deb]]
==== Download and install the Debian package manually
ifeval::["{release-state}"=="unreleased"]
Version {version} of Elasticsearch has not yet been released.
endif::[]
ifeval::["{release-state}"!="unreleased"]
The Debian package for Elasticsearch v{version} can be downloaded from the website and installed as follows:
["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
--------------------------------------------
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-{version}-amd64.deb
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-{version}-amd64.deb.sha512
shasum -a 512 -c elasticsearch-{version}-amd64.deb.sha512 <1>
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-{version}-amd64.deb
--------------------------------------------
<1> Compares the SHA of the downloaded Debian package and the published checksum, which should output
`elasticsearch-{version}-amd64.deb: OK`.
Alternatively, you can download the following package, which contains only
features that are available under the Apache 2.0 license:
https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss-{version}-amd64.deb
endif::[]
ifdef::include-xpack[]
[role="xpack"]
[[deb-enable-indices]]
==== Enable automatic creation of system indices

[[deb-configuring]]
==== Configuring Elasticsearch
include::etc-elasticsearch.asciidoc[]
The Debian package also has a system configuration file (`/etc/default/elasticsearch`),
which allows you to set the following parameters:
include::sysconfig-file.asciidoc[]
NOTE: Distributions that use `systemd` require that system resource limits be
configured via `systemd` rather than via the `/etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch`
file. See <<systemd>> for more information.
[[deb-layout]]
==== Directory layout of Debian package
The Debian package places config files, logs, and the data directory in the appropriate
locations for a Debian-based system:
