Docker compose template for Elasticsearch, Kibana and plugins

This Docker compose recipe combines the (legacy) Docker images elasticsearch:2 and kibana:4 and can easily be extended with plugins.

Prerequisites

• Install Docker Compose

Run the docker containers

Start the containers from the cloned repository directory with

docker-compose up

At first run the images and plugins are downloaded and installed. When finished, navigate to http://localhost:9200 for the Elasticsearch endpoint, http://localhost:9200/_plugin/hq for Elastic-HQ and http://localhost:5601 for Kibana.

The Elasticsearch data directory is located as a sibling of the directory containing the Docker Compose recipe and is called elasticsearch-data.

Included plugins

• Elastic Sense
• Elastic Watcher and Elastic Licence (Watcher is a commercial plugin, and the license gives a 30-day trial for Watcher)
• royrusso/elasticsearch-HQ
