Hi! This morning I installed Elasticsearch and Kibana 5 and it worked first time. After it was up for a few minutes i got the error message: `Kibana did not load properly. Check the server output for more information.` The images I used are: itzg/elasticsearch and the official kibana, both latest. My docker logs aren't too useful (from what I can see). I do have some beats pointing to it which I haven't tried turning off as of yet. But here is all the information: ``` root@docker:~/scripts5# docker logs 4c95debe3e7bc00de97ee27df33de86f2b4b652e0bd55263dd9a1f0c155bd85a {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2016-11-28T15:15:41Z","tags":["status","plugin:kibana@5.0.1","info"],"pid":7,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready","prevState":"uninitialized","prevMsg":"uninitialized"} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2016-11-28T15:15:41Z","tags":["status","plugin:elasticsearch@5.0.1","info"],"pid":7,"state":"yellow","message":"Status changed from uninitialized to yellow - Waiting for Elasticsearch","prevState":"uninitialized","prevMsg":"uninitialized"} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2016-11-28T15:15:41Z","tags":["status","plugin:console@5.0.1","info"],"pid":7,"state":"green","message":"Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready","prevState":"uninitialized","prevMsg":"uninitialized"} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2016-11-28T15:15:42Z","tags":["warning"],"pid":7,"kibanaVersion":"5.0.1","nodes":[{"version":"5.0.0","http":{"publish_address":"172.17.0.4:9200"},"ip":"172.17.0.4"},{"version":"5.0.0","http":{"publish_address":"172.17.0.5:9200"},"ip":"172.17.0.5"},{"version":"5.0.0","http":{"publish_address":"172.17.0.3:9200"},"ip":"172.17.0.3"},{"version":"5.0.0","http":{"publish_address":"172.17.0.2:9200"},"ip":"172.17.0.2"}],"message":"You're running Kibana 5.0.1 with some different versions of Elasticsearch.

Could it be that Kibana is pointing at the wrong node? If you turn off those extra nodes, does the same problem persist? ---

Its set to point to the container called "elasticsearch" which it does, and yes I have tried it with just that and it persists :\ ---
