An ElasticSearch running inside docker.

A Docker container for setting up ElasticSearch. This server can respond to search requests.

Elasticsearch is an open-source, broadly-distributable, readily-scalable, enterprise-grade search engine. Accessible through an extensive and elaborate API, Elasticsearch can power extremely fast searches that support your data discovery applications.

This container best suites development purposes.

This is a sample ElasticSearch docker container used to test Wordpress installation on http://www.globalfoodbook.com

To build this elasticsearch server run the following command:

$ docker pull globalfoodbook/elasticsearch

This will run on a default port of 9200.

To run the server and expose it on port 9200 of the host machine, run the following command:

$ docker run --name=elasticsearch --detach=true --publish=9200:9200 --publish=9300:9300 elasticsearch
