The Elastic Stack

Setup

1. Clone the this repository:

git clone https://github.com/mpolinowski/elk-server-compose.git

2. Build and Run:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

3. Create Random User Logins

Now I can connect to the running Elasticsearch container and generate random passwords for both the elastic and kibana_system user:

docker-compose exec -T elasticsearch bin/elasticsearch-reset-password --batch --user elastic

docker-compose exec -T elasticsearch bin/elasticsearch-reset-password --batch --user kibana_system

4. Replace Kibana User Login

Replace the password of the kibana_system user inside the Kibana configuration file with the password generated in the previous step:

kibana/config/kibana.yml

elasticsearch.username: kibana_system
elasticsearch.password: 'mygeneratedpassword'

And change the ELASTIC_PASSWORD environment variable from the elasticsearch service inside the Compose file docker-compose.yml.:

ELASTIC_PASSWORD: 'mygeneratedpassword'

5. Restart and Start Using Elasticsearch / Kibana
