HI,  
I'm using ELK version 6.2.4 by using docker ELK is running on my server. My issue is unable to open kibana on my browser.

    # minimum_master_nodes need to be explicitly set when bound on a public IP
    # set to 1 to allow single node clusters

Hello Ganesh,

I'm assuming you've tried going to `http://<your server>:5601`. Have you tried running a curl command from the server itself? `curl http://localhost:5601`. If this returns content, you may have a port access issue.

If you have a server/port access issue, have firewall/iptables been configured to allow traffic on the 5601 port or another port through which traffic (including Kibana's) is forwarded? I can't recommend a specific server configuration as there are many ways to configure a server for accessing locally hosted apps such as Kibana. Which way makes sense will depend on your server's operating system and your specific access requirements for Kibana.

Regards,  
Aaron  
You mi
