Docker compose file for Elasticsearch, Kibana and head

Published on 2019-11-05 • Modified on 2019-11-05

This is the docker compose file I am using for elasticsearch, Kibana and head. Images for elasticsearch and Kibana are the official ones. The one for head is not an official but a fork that works with elasticsearch 6 and higher.

version: '3.7'

services:
  # elasticsearch server (official image)
  # https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html
  # https://hub.docker.com/_/elasticsearch/
  elasticsearch:
    container_name: sb-elasticsearch
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.8.6
    ports:
      - "9209:9200"
    environment:
        - "discovery.type=single-node"
        - "bootstrap.memory_lock=true"
        - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1G -Xmx1G"
        - "xpack.security.enabled=false"
        - "http.cors.enabled=true"
        - "http.cors.allow-origin=*"
