Ref.: [Running Enterprise Search Using Docker | Elastic Enterprise Search Documentation [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/current/docker.html) Says " Create a `docker-compose.yml` file replacing the `{version}` value with the product version you want to use:" I'm running docker on a synology NAS, so the idea of a simple installation for 'Enterprise Search with Elasticsearch and Kibana in Docker Compose' is ideal. But, to where do I save the docker-compose.yml file? Also, may I specify the latest version of ES K & ES? Is there a step-by-step guide in minute detail for the process? ---

Yes you can use the latest version. With respect to running docker on synology NAS, where you would place the yaml files and how it will be executed, I think you are going to look elsewhere for expertise on that Such as [Here](https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/synology-docker-media-server/) I will add that the Elastic Stack / Elasticsearch / Enterprise Search does require some CPU and RAM so I would be curious if you have enough resources on your NAS. And for basic docker compose commands I would look at the docker documentation [Here](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)" Perhaps someone else will have insight.... ---

Thank you for your quick reply. My NAS is a Synology ds3617xs with 48Gb RAM. Will this be OK? ---

It Depends how much depends on much RAM is actually available on the NAS. If you use the docker compose on [this](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/current/docker.html) doc page it sets the Elasticsearch and Enteprise Search JVMs to a very small / probably the smallest settings... ` - "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m"` Personally I don't like going smaller than 1GB for the actual Elasticsearch you might need to bump it up. ` - "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1g -Xmx1g"` For the Enterprise Search perhaps 512m is OK... Give it a try and report back. ---

As this will be the primary job running on the NAS, it can have most of the 48Gb. I'm just composing a request for detailed Docker assistance on [https://forums.docker.com/](https://forums.docker.com/). I'll report back when I have it all running. ---
