Kibana and elasticsearch unavailable on domain

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I have installed Kibana and elasticsearch on Win 10 using the docker-compose but after trying on a Ubuntu server the installation doesn’t seem to be working.
Elastic search is responding normally to curl -XGET https://localhost:9200 -u admin:admin --insecure
and Kibana responds with a 302 on curl 0.0.0.0:5601 -i and they both seem to be up when checking docker-compose ps -a but unavailable outside of the server even if they are pointing to the correct ports?
I have tried various combinations of NETWORK_HOST, HTTP_HOST and SERVER_HOST values in docker-compose.yml for kibana but to no avail. Is it even possible to expose Kibana and elasticsearch without the use of an Nginx proxy?

Hi @nickgregz,

Can you share your compose.yml file? This makes it easier to reproduce the problems you are having.

It was a mistake on my part not opening the ports on AWS EC2 but even after doing so the Kibana is available but elasticsearch isn't, here is my docker-compose.yml:

Hi @nickgregz

OpenDistro is not an Elastic product or maintained or supported by us. You can leave the question here open and maybe someone from the community has a similar issue and will be able to help, but we're sorry that we are not always able to help out with third party products. In general I would recommend you to ask that question in the OpenDistro forums or to their support.

Cheers,
Tim
