Running a local kibana in a container

Question

I am trying to run use kibana console with my local elasticsearch (container) In the ElasticSearch documentation I see

docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e          


        

Answer 1

It is convenient to use docker-compose as well.
For instance, the file below, stored in home directory, allows to start Kibana with one command:
docker-compose up -d:

# docker-compose.yml

version: "2"
 kibana:
    image: "docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.2.2"
    container_name: "kibana"
    environment:
      - "ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://:9200"
      - "XPACK_GRAPH_ENABLED=false"
      - "XPACK_ML_ENABLED=false"
      - "XPACK_REPORTING_ENABLED=false"
      - "XPACK_SECURITY_ENABLED=false"
      - "XPACK_WATCHER_ENABLED=false"
    ports:
      - "5601:5601"
    restart: "unless-stopped"

In addition, Kibana service might be a part of your project in development environment (in case, docker-compose is used).
