Secure Docker ELK cluster

An end-to-end fully secure Elasticsearch cluster (of 3 Elasticsearch instances) with Kibana and run by Docker. Using official images. Ever dreamed of the following ?

First, you will need to raise your host's ulimits for Elasticsearch to be able to handle high I/O :

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=500000

Now, we will generate the certificates for your cluster :

docker-compose -f create-certs.yml run --rm create_certs

That's it ! Start the cluster with :

docker-compose up -d

Access Kibana through https://localhost:5601

Default username is elastic and password is changeme
