Essentially I'm trying to deploy an elk-stack into Kubernetes. I'm trying to learn Kubernetes so I'm doing it the hard way I've written my own manifests (kompose). I try to use the latest version my understanding that 18.14 .1. Trying to understand this automatic security deal and being that its Kubernetes to get the output of some of these auto-generated things I don't know if the logs for the pod will show that information.

So all my containers are running.

```auto

pod/elasticsearch-0 1/1 Running 0 19s
pod/flow-collector-75dc4b57f5-cgntl 1/1 Running 1 (20h ago) 44h

```

When I go to Kibana's URL I get "Kibana server is not ready yet."

ok, logs

elasticsearch-0 logs

```

My understanding is that it's supposed to be certs and things generated automatically they should be in the elastic containers config folder?

```auto
elasticsearch@elasticsearch-0:~/config$ ls -al
total 60
drwxrwxr-x 1 elasticsearch root 36 Jun 21 04:04 .
drwxrwxr-x 1 root root 46 Jun 21 04:04 ..

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 10 23:42 users
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 10 23:42 users_roles

```

The only other thing I can think to mention is I'm using secrets in communities to program the environment variables.

```auto
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: elastic-secret
type: Opaque
data:
stringData:
  XPACK_SECURITY_ENABLED: 'true'

```

```auto
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: kibana-secret
type: Opaque
data:
stringData:
  ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME: 'kibana_system'
  ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD: 'XXXBASE64XXXX'
  ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS: 'https://elasticsearch:9200'
  XPACK_SECURITY_ENABLED: 'true'

```

Thank you to anyone that's made it this far in the post I really appreciate it i'm happy to post my deployment files any other descriptions or information that might help and if I miss something completely obvious I apologize if I wasted anybody's time.

Realized that this moved into the cloud operator type situation.  
Hope this helps someone else.
