Mapping ElasticSearch Port with ports: 92xx:9200 in Docker

chrisruel · May 25, 2018, 7:36pm

Is it possible to map the default port for an ElasticSearch docker container from 9200 to 92XX (i.e. 9222) or some other port using -

elasticsearch:
image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4
...
ports:

92xx:9200

When I attempt to do this and connect using Kibana, Kibana will only connect if configured on port 9200, i.e. ->
ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200

and
ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:96xx
does not work.

docker container exec -i kibana curl elasticsearch:9200/_cat/health
returns a valid connection, even though the port should be remapped to 96xx.

docker container exec -i kibana curl elasticsearch:92xx/_cat/health
returns invalid connection data.

I have used docker container stop and rm to remove all prior container instances.

By default, Elasticsearch docker reserves the ports 9200 and 9300. Example base Docker Compose file showing both ports.

To change the ports (to 9299 and 9399, for example), add:

    ports:
      - "9299:9200"
      - "9399:9300"

which maps custom outside port to regular ES inside port.

Then change Kibana configuration accordingly:

    environment:
      ELASTICSEARCH_URL: http://elasticsearch:9299

I am getting the "No living connection" error at Kibana when I try to do the configuration according to your example and ES is not accessible from a browser at localhost:9299

Could you share your entire docker-compose.yml file?

Apologies for the late follow up. My previous post had incorrect information with regards to the ports. The mapping should be HOST:CONTAINER. I have edited my post as well.

So for your Elasticsearch service, it should be:

ports:
    - "9699:9200"

The rest of the configuration looks good.

As a point of reference, the identical YML with the default port mapping to 9200:9200 works without errors reported... I am explicitly trying to get the port mappings working in this case.
