This repository contains a few examples of how to run Elasticsearch and Kibana 7.x and 8.x in Docker Compose for local development and testing. Using the official images and binding them to the default ports. Tested with the latest version of the Docker daemon.
Older examples for version 6.x and 7.x are in the Elastic Stack 7 + 6 release.
This is a minor adaptation of the Docker Compose example from the official documentation with a self-signed certificate. The main difference is that the certificates are only generated once (automatically) and stored in the folder official/.certs/, so that they are easier to use.
Change into the official/ folder and run Elasticsearch and Kibana.
- Start:
docker-compose up - Remove:
docker-compose down -v
Connect to Elasticsearch at https://localhost:9200 and Kibana at http://localhost:5601 (without TLS).
To query Elasticsearch with cURL run curl --cacert .certs/ca/ca.crt -u elastic https://localhost:9200 and enter the ELASTIC_PASSWORD password from the official/.env file.
Don't do this. But if you must: Change into the insecure/ folder and run Elasticsearch and Kibana without authentication or TLS.
- Start:
docker-compose up - Remove:
docker-compose down -v
Connect to Elasticsearch at http://localhost:9200 and Kibana at http://localhost:5601.
