Cannot enable x-pack with basic-flavor elastic docker image (6.0.0)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Greetings.

Following the docs
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html

i'm downloading the basic-flavor image.
Running it with
docker run -d -p 9200:9200
-e "http.host=0.0.0.0"
-e "transport.host=127.0.0.1"
--name elastic docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.0.0

which means x-pack.security should be enabled by default as it is, but the available property is "False" and i can access es without prompting for credentials.

Here is the localhost:9200/_xpack output
{
build: {
hash: "cc96bca",
date: "2017-11-10T19:36:09.930Z"
},

},

},

enabled: true
},
watcher: {

available: false,

}
},
tagline: "You know, for X"
}

Am i doing something wrong?

The basic flavour of the ES6 Docker image comes with an X-Pack basic license.

You can read about the inclusions for each license type here: https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions

X-Pack basic does not include security.

Ah, I thought it did.
That means we can't use our custom oAUth2 for user login right?
As far as i understand this can be done only with x-pack security running on ES, correct?

Well it depends how your custom Oauth works.

If you are dependent on X-Pack security, then you need the platinum flavour of our Docker image.
If you just want to put an Oauth proxy in front of ES/Kibana then you might be able to get that to work.

Thank you very much TIm.
