Hi,

Is anyone here deploying ES in Docker containers?  
Or tried doing so and then choose a different route?  
ElasticSearch (the company) does not officially support deploying ES in Docker containers. I wonder if anyone here has has any problems doing this?  
Or maybe anyone is aware of potential problems that such setup may cause?

Thanks,  
Michael

There are a few users of it in the IRC channels and it seems to be working well for them.

Internally we are working more with it but I can't really give you much there sorry as it's still early days.
