ELK Stack Docker Playground

Elastic stack (ELK) on Docker

ELK Stack Docker Playground

Run the latest version of the [Elastic stack][elk-stack] with Docker and Docker Compose.

It gives you the ability to analyze any data set by using the searching/aggregation capabilities of Elasticsearch and the visualization power of Kibana.

ℹ️ The Docker images backing this stack include [Stack Features][stack-features] (formerly X-Pack) with [paid features][paid-features] enabled by default (see How to disable paid features to disable them). The [trial license][trial-license] is valid for 30 days.

Based on the official Docker images from Elastic:

• elasticsearch
• logstash
• kibana

Usage

Bringing up the stack

Start the stack using Docker Compose:

$ docker-compose up

You can also run all services in the background (detached mode) by adding the -d flag to the above command.

ℹ️ You must run docker-compose build first whenever you switch branch or update a base image.

If you are starting the stack for the very first time, please read the section below attentively.
