    Install Elasticsearch via Docker

    docker network create elastic
docker pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.2.2
docker run --name es01 --net elastic -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -it docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.2.2

    Copy the generated password and enrollment token and save them in a secure location.

    You might need to scroll back a bit in the terminal to view the password and enrollment token.

    • Install and run Kibana

    Kibana is the Web UI for managing various aspects of Elastic

    It is important to run the following in new terminal window:

    docker pull docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.2.2
docker run --name kibana --net elastic -p 5601:5601 docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.2.2

    A Unique link will be displayed in the terminal.

    1. Click & Open it in your browser, paste the enrollment token that you copied
    2. Log in to Kibana as the elastic user with the password that was generated when you started Elasticsearch.

    I created another use dev (as Superuser) in case I can't find the auto generated password for the elastic user (But please keep that one in a safe location 😄)
