This docked stack can be used to quickly bring up Elasticsearch and Kibana for local testing.

Specify Elasticsearch setup password in password.txt file.

Deploy Elasticsearch and Kibana to currently running swarm by running:

$ mkdir -p data/elasticsearch data/filebeat data/metricbeat
$ export ELASTIC_PASSWORD=`cat password.txt`; docker stack deploy -c docker-stack.yml elastic-stack

After startup you can connect to Elasticsearch at http://127.0.0.1:9200/ and Kibana at http://127.0.0.1:5601/

Don't forget to delete the password.txt file.

When done, stop Elasticsearch and Kibana by running:

$ docker stack rm elastic-stack

To redeploy, remove stack, wait for services to exit and redeploy using command above.

$ docker stack rm elastic-stack
$ docker stack ps elastic-stack

Find the service ids by running

$ docker stack ps elastic-stack

Check logs by running

docker service ps "elastic-stack_elasticsearch"
docker service logs SERVICE_ID
