## Settings

`.env` file is:

```auto
# Password for the 'elastic' user (at least 6 characters)
ELASTIC_PASSWORD=changeme

# Password for the 'kibana_system' user (at least 6 characters)
KIBANA_PASSWORD=changeme

# Version of Elastic products
STACK_VERSION=8.0.0

# Set the cluster name
CLUSTER_NAME=docker-cluster

# Set to 'basic' or 'trial' to automatically start the 30-day trial
#LICENSE=basic
LICENSE=trial

# Port to expose Elasticsearch HTTP API to the host
ES_PORT=9200

# Port to expose Kibana to the host
KIBANA_PORT=5601

# Enterprise Search settings
ENTERPRISE_SEARCH_PORT=3002
ENCRYPTION_KEYS=q3t6w9z$C&F)J@McQfTjWnZr4u7x!A%D

# Increase or decrease based on the available host memory (in bytes)
MEM_LIMIT=1073741824

```

## Starting the stack

To start the stack:

```auto
docker-compose up

```

Wait for everything to start. It could take several minutes:

Once started, you can open [Kibana](http://localhost:5601/) and connect with `elastic` / `changeme` account. From there, you can access the [Enterprise Search management UI](http://localhost:5601/app/enterprise_search/overview).
