Our Docker builds are created from [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana-docker). In the coming months, this will be moved to the Kibana repository and will just be part of the normal build process. ---

Which version of Kibana are you working on? We just replaced the build system in the master branch. Let me know which version you are working with and I'll put together a recipe that will work for you. ---

OK, cool. Here's what I did for version 6.4.4: - Cloned the Kibana repository to `/home/jarpy/src/kibana` - Checked out the `6.4` branch - Built Kibana with: - `nvm install` - `nvm use` - `yarn kbn bootstrap` - `yarn build --skip-os-packages --release` - Cloned the [kibana-docker](https://github.com/elastic/kibana-docker) repository - Checked out the `6.4` branch - Built the images with: `env ARTIFACTS_DIR=/home/jarpy/src/ ELASTIC_VERSION=6.4.4 make release-manager-release` ---

Thank you for the reply Can you please help me how to write the docker file for this ? Can you provide me a sample so that i can use it as a reference ---

You're welcome. There's no need to write a Dockerfile. The build process I provided will generate it for you from [the template](https://github.com/elastic/kibana-docker/blob/6.4/templates/Dockerfile.j2). ---

> How can i specify my custom elasticsearch url to this ? There are [multiple ways to configure Kibana running as a container](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.4/docker.html#configuring-kibana-docker). Generally, bind-mounted configuration is a good choice. > How can i copy or use my custom plugins which is inside plugins folder for the docker image Perhaps modify the [Dockerfile template](https://github.com/elastic/kibana-docker/blob/master/.tedi/template/Dockerfile.j2) to include them, then rebuild. ---

Actually I am new to this Docker things. Can you please give me a sample code snippet to add custom plugins or the entire plugins folder of the kibana , so that i can use that as a reference. ---
