How to Install Elasticsearch in Docker

To Install Elasticsearch with Docker, first, you need to install docker on your server with command

wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh

Docker images for Elasticsearch are available from

https://hub.docker.com/_/elasticsearch

You can see all available versions at

https://hub.docker.com/_/elasticsearch?tab=tags&page=1&ordering=last_updated

To create an elasticsearch container, run

docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.5.2

To run it in the background

docker run --name sok-elasticsearch --restart=unless-stopped \
 -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 \
 -e "xpack.security.enabled=false" \
 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.5.2

To verify if ElasticSearch works, run

boby@sok-01:~$ curl localhost:9200
