I am trying to run the ELK stash using the popular Docker image on DockerHub, seep/elk.
In my project dir, I have the following two files:
docker-compose.up (just want to see if logstash works, so I'm reading from stdin and writing to stdout rather than elasticsearch):
input { stdin {} }
output { stdout {} }
logstash.conf:
elk:
image: sebp/elk
ports:
- "5605:5601"
- "9200:9200"
- "9300:9300"
- "5044:5044"
volumes:
- /path/to/project/dir/logstash.conf:/usr/share/logstash/config/logstash.conf
When I run docker-compose up elk, the following stack trace is displayed:
elk_1 | * Starting periodic command scheduler cron

Now, Kibana and Elasticsearch seem to be perfectly fine, while logstash isn't doing anything because when I type something in the terminal, I get no response.
Running ps aux in the container bash terminal, I get the following:

Now, I did change logstash.conf to have the following:
input { stdin {} }
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
}
}
Still when I type something in the terminal, there is nothing in the discover section of Kibana, neither has any index pattern created...

I have been spending a good amount of time with no luck here, so any help would be highly appreciated!
So, I did find a solution thanks to the owner of the elk image repo.
I followed instructions from this page. That is, I entered the container bash by running docker exec -it <container-name> bash, and then (inside the container terminal) I ran the command /opt/logstash/bin/logstash --path.data /tmp/logstash/data -e 'input { stdin { } } output { elasticsearch { hosts => ["localhost"] } }'.
The problem was that although the Logstash service had been started, it did not have an an interactive terminal. The command above, addresses this problem.
The following logs were displayed inside the container terminal:
