ElasticSearch docker image based on Alpine Linux

This repo builds a docker image working similar to the official docker one but with a much smaller footprint. It achieves that by basing itself off the great alpine docker image by GliderLabs.

Why?

$ docker images
REPOSITORY             TAG         VIRTUAL SIZE
alpine-elasticsearch   latest      144.1 MB
elasticsearch          latest      347.1 MB

Build

$ make build

DockerHub

This image is published on DockerHub as docker pull blueapron/alpine-elasticsearch.

Usage

The default command simply runs elasticsearch and exposes port 9200 and 9300:

$ docker run -d blueapron/alpine-elasticsearch

You can decide to pass it additional flags by passing in a different command:

$ docker run -d blueapron/alpine-elasticsearch elasticsearch -Des.node.name="TestNode"

This image uses a default set of config files but if you with to provide your own you can do so by mounting them to the /usr/share/elasticsearch/config directory:

$ docker run -d -v "$PWD/config":/usr/share/elasticsearch/config blueapron/alpine-elasticsearch

Same thing goes for the data directory, if you want to keep you data mounted in a volume:

$ docker run -d -v "$PWD/esdata":/usr/share/elasticsearch/data blueapron/alpine-elasticsearch

This image includes EXPOSE 9200 9300, so standard container linking will make it automatically available to the linked containers
