I install Elasticsearch and Kibana following the Official document: [Install Kibana with Docker | Kibana Guide [8.9] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html) the command is: ```auto docker pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.9.1 docker pull docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.9.1 docker network create elastic docker run -it \ --name es89101 \ --net elastic \ --restart=always \ -v /home/username/elasticsearch/plugins:/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins \ -v /home/username/elasticsearch/data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data \ -p 9200:9200 \ -p 9300:9300 \ docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.9.1 docker run -it \ --name kib89101 \ --net elastic \ --restart=always \ -p 5601:5601 \ docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.9.1 ``` every thing is OK: When Kibana is starting, I paste the token, but it "Completing setup" for a long time, until i refreshed my browser. Then I input elastic's password, entered kibana. That's looks ok But when I **restarted my server** , es89101 and kib89101 is restarted correctly, I can access 9200 port, but when i enter kibana, 5601 port, browser print " **Kibana server is not ready yet**" I checked Kibana's log whith command: ```auto docker logs kib89101 ``` it prints ```auto [2023-08-22T19:00:51.807+00:00][ERROR][elasticsearch-service] Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. connect ECONNREFUSED 172.18.0.2:9200 ``` I don't know why I've tried several times and got the same result. my docker version is ```auto [root@cs8 ~]# docker version Client: Docker Engine - Community Version: 24.0.1 API version: 1.43 Go version: go1.20.4 Git commit: 6802122 Built: Fri May 19 18:04:11 2023 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 Context: default Server: Docker Engine - Community Engine: Version: 24.0.1 API version: 1.43 (minimum version 1.12) Go version: go1.20.4 Git commit: 463850e Built: Fri May 19 18:03:12 2023 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 Experimental: false containerd: Version: 1.6.21 GitCommit: 3dce8eb055cbb6872793272b4f20ed16117344f8 runc: Version: 1.1.7 GitCommit: v1.1.7-0-g860f061 docker-init: Version: 0.19.0 GitCommit: de40ad0 [root@cs8 ~]# ``` ---

Heya @seamanw! After completing the initial Interactive Setup, the connection info for Elasticsearch is generally written to the `kibana.yml` file for future connections. This includes a value for `elasticsearch.hosts`. When you restarted the Elasticsearch server, Docker may have assigned a slightly different IP address, e.g. In the logs its looking for ES at `172.18.0.2`, but the IP might now be `172.18.0.3`. Please start ES, note the IP address, paste that value into the appropriate spot (there may be additional places this value is required) in the `kibana.yml` and then start Kibana. Let's give that a try! ---

I have tried the method you gave, but a new error occurred I checked ES's new ip, and modified elasticsearch.hosts value in `config/kibana.yml` , and restarted kibana. browser still shows “Kibana server is not ready yet.” Kibana's log : ```auto docker logs kib89101 ...... [2023-08-23T18:09:19.330+00:00][ERROR][elasticsearch-service] Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. Hostname/IP does not match certificate's altnames: IP: 172.18.0.3 is not in the cert's list: 172.18.0.2, 127.0.0.1 ...... ``` Looks like an authentication error. But even if this way solves this problem, do I have to modify the configuration file **every time** I restart? I don't think this way is very elegant, so is there a more perfect solution? Thanks ---

Sorry that didn't work. I'm not a Docker expert, but I have some more options for us to try. Let's try adding the container alias for your Elasticsearch (looks like it was `es89101`) to the `elasticsearch.hosts` in the `kibana.yml`. It should be something like: `elasticsearch.hosts: ['https://es89101:9200']` Please give that a try first. If that doesn't work, we will try to override with [Docker Env Vars](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html#environment-variable-config) ---

Thank you for reply. I have tried to set `elasticsearch.hosts` to `https://es89101:9200`, but it looks not work，too. ```auto docker logs kib89101 ...... [2023-08-24T06:57:42.737+00:00][ERROR][elasticsearch-service] Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. Hostname/IP does not match certificate's altnames: Host: es89101. is not in the cert's altnames: DNS:localhost, IP Address:172.18.0.2, IP Address:127.0.0.1, DNS:1b58252e4c7e ...... ``` Looks like another authentication error. I'm not a Docker expert too. haha 😂 ---
