Here is the Elastic documentation:

And here is the docker documentation just in case:

Thanks @jsu . could I know how to build the images from the code "[https://github.com/xauthulei/elasticsearch/tree/7.6/distribution/docker](https://github.com/xauthulei/elasticsearch/tree/7.6/distribution/docker)" .

I am willing to build it based on a Dockerfile. But it is confuse to me how to create it ? from the code level that is seems to get from Gradle, right ?

I'm not sure I'm following you here.

If you want to use the official docker image, you don't need to build it yourself, you can simply pull it as stated in the doc:

```auto
docker pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.2

```

So if you want to run a single node for testing:

```auto
docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.2

```

And if you want a multi-node cluster, use Docker Compose (for dev/testing, not in production):

```auto
version: '2.2'
services:
  es01:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.2
    container_name: es01
    environment:
      - node.name=es01
      - cluster.name=es-docker-cluster
      - discovery.seed_hosts=es02,es03
      - cluster.initial_master_nodes=es01,es02,es03
      - bootstrap.memory_lock=true
      - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
    ulimits:
      memlock:
        soft: -1
        hard: -1
    volumes:
      - data01:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
    ports:
      - 9200:9200
    networks:
      - elastic
  es02:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.2
    container_name: es02
    environment:
      - node.name=es02
      - cluster.name=es-docker-cluster
      - discovery.seed_hosts=es01,es03
      - cluster.initial_master_nodes=es01,es02,es03
      - bootstrap.memory_lock=true
      - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
    ulimits:
      memlock:
        soft: -1
        hard: -1
    volumes:
      - data02:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
    networks:
      - elastic
  es03:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.2
    container_name: es03
    environment:
      - node.name=es03
      - cluster.name=es-docker-cluster
      - discovery.seed_hosts=es01,es02
      - cluster.initial_master_nodes=es01,es02,es03
      - bootstrap.memory_lock=true
      - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
    ulimits:
      memlock:
        soft: -1
        hard: -1
    volumes:
      - data03:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
    networks:
      - elastic

volumes:
  data01:
    driver: local
  data02:
    driver: local
  data03:
    driver: local

networks:
  elastic:
    driver: bridge

```

All this is just taken from [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html) .

And if you want to build your own image, you can do it using the official image as a base (FROM),  
see example here on how to do that: [https://docs.docker.com/get-started/part2/](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/part2/)

And here is the official doc for Dockerfiles: [https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/)

Does that help or am I missing your point?

Thanks @jsu, Currently I want to build a private images. Here I fond this from its readme:  
`In order to create a distribution, simply run the `./gradlew assemble` command in the cloned directory.

The distribution for each project will be created under the `build/distributions` directory in that project.`

Is that will create a images locally or push to my private repository ? However I got following error:

```auto

Well, you can still build a private image using `FROM elasticsearch:7.6.2` in your Dockerfile.

Otherwise, I found the original Dockerfile used (I think, I'm not working for Elastic, so I might be wrong here): [https://github.com/xauthulei/elasticsearch/blob/7.6/distribution/docker/src/docker/Dockerfile](https://github.com/xauthulei/elasticsearch/blob/7.6/distribution/docker/src/docker/Dockerfile)

But again, you don't need to use this one to build your own Elasticsearch Docker image.

And I don't know why you can't build it from source with the `.gradle` I'm sorry. But again, from the title of your topic, you don't need to do this.
