I have set up 3 VMs for running elastic search using Vagrant, and ansible  
(w/docker)

In my Hosts file:

I added these lines to define the 3 VM's addresses:  
192.168.50.10 earth  
192.168.50.11 hiveholm  
192.168.50.12 moth

This just gives the private address of the VM a name

I use Vagrant to build and map 3 VM's on my Mac:

Vagrantfile:

# -_- mode: ruby -_-

# vi: set ft=ruby :

ROOT = File.dirname(File.absolute\_path( **FILE** ))

# Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're

doing!

# Default env properties which can be overridden

# Example overrides:

# echo "ENV['PASSENGER\_DOCKER\_PATH'] ||=

'../../phusion/passenger-docker' " \>\> ~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile

# echo "ENV['BASE\_BOX\_URL'] ||=

This builds and runs 3 VM's in a private network, using the phusion  
baseimage-docker base:  
I then run anansible playbook to setup the VM's so they have their own sash  
ansible-playbook (terra1.yml)

- name: terra  
hosts: all

# user: $user

remote\_user: root  
sudo: yes

gather\_facts: yes  
tasks:  
- name: install pip  
shell: apt-get -y install python-pip

```
- name: install docker-py
  pip: name=docker-py state=present

- name: Do the docker build
  shell: cd /vagrant/image && docker build -t traintracks_image_9 .

- name: Run the container
  docker: ports=45678:22,54328:54328,9200:9200,9201:9201,9202:9202,9300:

```

9300,9301:9301,9302:9302  
name=test\_traintracks\_image\_9g image=traintracks\_image\_9

Run using this command:

ansible-playbook terra1.yml -i hosts.ini -user=root --ask-pass -vvvv

this installs a couple of things and builds the base image inside the  
container with the build step and then runs it.  
(Note this is applied to all 3 VMs but in this testing I am just building  
out the first vm (earth))

Last step install and setup and run ElastciSearch:

I have reused the "the-ansibles" project playbook as a base for out  
playbook to setup and run elastic search  
Project is called traintracks  
ansible-playbook: terra\_es1.yml:

# file: terra\_es1.yml

- name: terra  
hosts: all

Run with this command:

ansible-playbook terra\_es1.yml -i terra1.ini -user=root -vvvv

installs and sets up all the required packages and finally installs elastic  
search

All these installation steps seem to SUCCEED or more correctly show no  
errors and we basically have not changed anything.  
But when you go into the docker container  
(ssh root@earth -p 45678)  
and look at the supervisord log and the elasticsearch log it shows this  
problem it shows this error:

I run netstat andit shows nothing is using the 9300 port but ES fails to  
bind it!

This seems to indicate that nothing is using port 9300  
but I run the elastic search command from the command line inside the  
docker Container:

So I killed supervisord and ran the elasticsearch command from the ssh shell

/usr/local/etc/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch -f

I GET THIS:

But I dont get more information

Any help would be appreciated!
