elasticsearch

Self-configuring Elasticsearch image build

Usage

Start with a persistent data volume:

docker volume create elastic_data
docker run -d --name=elastic \
           -p 9200:9200 \
           -m 1024m \
           -v elastic_data:/elastic/data \
           --cap-add IPC_LOCK \
           --ulimit memlock=-1:-1 \
           --ulimit nofile=65536:65536 \
           quay.io/vektorcloud/elasticsearch:6

By default, elasticsearch will be started with 70% of the containers memory limit allocated to heap. To override this behavior, use the HEAP_SIZE variable:

docker run -d --name=elastic \
           -p 9200:9200 \
           -e HEAP_SIZE=1024m \
           --cap-add IPC_LOCK \
           --ulimit memlock=-1:-1 \
           --ulimit nofile=65536:65536 \
           quay.io/vektorcloud/elasticsearch:6
