Docker Elasticsearch Ubuntu
Elasticsearch Docker image with based on Ubuntu Linux.
Why
The official Elasticsearch image has moved away from Docker Hub into another registry. There we have no latest tag for images. Also currently no option exists for installing plugins and running the container in one go. This image attempts to provide an up-to-date version of Elasticsearch on Docker Hub with automated builds while maintaining compliance with the official image docs.
Usage
The entrypoint script is a slightly modified version from the official image. For instructions on how to use this image visit the elasticsearch image docs.
Install Plugins
For plugin installation and running Elasticsearch in one command use a comma separated list in the environment
variable ES_PLUGINS like this:
docker run -e ES_PLUGINS=discovery-file,ingest-attachment phihos/elasticsearch-ubuntu
Data Directory
Opposed to the official volume the data directory is located in /var/lib/elasticsearch.
