linking kibana with elasticsearch

Question

I have the following docker containers running on my box...

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED              STATUS                  


        

Answer 1

you can add ENV ELASTICSEARCH_URL=elasticsearch:9200 to your Dockerfile before build kibana, then use docker-compose to run elasticsearch with kibana like this:

version: '2'
services:
  elasticsearch:
   image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.3.0
   container_name: elasticsearch
   ports:
    - "9200:9200"
    - "9300:9300"
  environment:
    ES_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xmx256m -Xms256m"
 kibana:
  image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:5.3.0
  container_name: kibana
  ports:
    - "5601:5601"
  depends_on:
   - elasticsearch
