docker-elasticsearch

This repository contains a Dockerfile of ElasticSearch for Docker's automated build published to the public Docker Hub Registry.

Installation

1. Install Docker.

2. Download the automated build from the public Docker Hub Registry: docker pull uqlibrary/elasticsearch

   (or, you can build an image from Dockerfile: `docker build -t uqlibrary/elasticsearch .)

Usage

1. Create a mountable data directory <data-dir> on the host.

2. Start a container by mounting the data directory and specifying the cluster name as an environment variable:

   docker run -v <data-dir>:/data uqlibrary/elasticsearch

After few seconds, open http://<host>:9200 to see the result.

The following environment variables can be used to configure the container:

ES_CLUSTER_NAME     (REQUIRED) The name of the Elasticsearch cluster.
ES_NODE_MASTER      (REQUIRED) Whether the node will be the master in the cluster. 
                    Setting to "true" makes this node the master.
ES_NODE_DATA        (REQUIRED) Whether the node will be a data node in the cluster. 
                    Setting to "true" makes this a data node.
