I use the following docker-compose to run an elasticsearch cluster and kibana:
services:
odfe-node1:
image: amazon/opendistro-for-elasticsearch:1.3.0
container_name: odfe-node1
environment:
- cluster.name=odfe-cluster
- node.name=odfe-node1
- discovery.seed_hosts=odfe-node1,odfe-node2
- cluster.initial_master_nodes=odfe-node1,odfe-node2
- bootstrap.memory_lock=true # along with the memlock settings below, disables swapping
- "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m" # minimum and maximum Java heap size, recommend setting both to 50% of system RAM
ulimits:
memlock:
soft: -1
hard: -1
nofile:
soft: 65536 # maximum number of open files for the Elasticsearch user, set to at least 65536 on modern systems
hard: 65536
volumes:
- odfe-data1:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
ports:
- 9200:9200
- 9600:9600 # required for Performance Analyzer
networks:
- odfe-net
odfe-node2:
image: amazon/opendistro-for-elasticsearch:1.3.0
container_name: odfe-node2
environment:
- cluster.name=odfe-cluster
- node.name=odfe-node2
- discovery.seed_hosts=odfe-node1,odfe-node2
- cluster.initial_master_nodes=odfe-node1,odfe-node2
- bootstrap.memory_lock=true
- "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
ulimits:
memlock:
soft: -1
hard: -1
nofile:
soft: 65536
hard: 65536
volumes:
- odfe-data2:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
networks:
- odfe-net
kibana:
image: amazon/opendistro-for-elasticsearch-kibana:1.3.0
container_name: odfe-kibana
ports:
- 5601:5601
expose:
- "5601"
environment:
ELASTICSEARCH_URL: https://odfe-node1:9200
ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS: https://odfe-node1:9200
LOGGING_VERBOSE: "true"
networks:
- odfe-net
volumes:
odfe-data1:
odfe-data2:
networks:
odfe-net:
No errors show up in logs, and elastic cluster runs fine - I can query and submit documents; but when I try to load Kibana by going to http://localhost:5601 in the browser, I get Kibana server is not ready yet
message both in the browser and in the logs.
Any ideas about what might be wrong?
Turned out that I had to allocate more memory for the Docker service (Settings -> Advanced) and Kibana starts as expected now
