Problems spinning up the docker compose example

Sasho · June 17, 2023, 11:25am

Hello,

I'm following the instructions on Start a multi-node cluster with Docker Compose.

I believe I have set up everything correctly.

My .env file looks like this:

# Password for the 'elastic' user (at least 6 characters)
ELASTIC_PASSWORD=elastic

# Password for the 'kibana_system' user (at least 6 characters)
KIBANA_PASSWORD=kibana

# Version of Elastic products
STACK_VERSION=8.8.1

# Set the cluster name
CLUSTER_NAME=docker-cluster

# Set to 'basic' or 'trial' to automatically start the 30-day trial
LICENSE=basic
#LICENSE=trial

# Port to expose Elasticsearch HTTP API to the host
ES_PORT=9200
#ES_PORT=127.0.0.1:9200

# Port to expose Kibana to the host
KIBANA_PORT=5601
#KIBANA_PORT=80

# Increase or decrease based on the available host memory (in bytes)
MEM_LIMIT=1073741824

# Project namespace (defaults to the current folder name if not set)
#COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=myproject

The dockerc-compose.yml file looks like this:

version: "2.2"

It appears as if the setup hangs at the last line.

This is the output from docker compose ps:

Could you advise, if it's a matter of waiting much longer or there is another problem? How can I troubleshoot this?

Thank you.

Hi @Sasho Welcome to the community.

I have occasionally seen the start-up hang.

I would recommend bringing it down, and remove all the mounted volumes (very important) and try again.

docker-compose down -v

Also typo? Probably not the issue

dockerc

Let's us know what you see.

Thank you @stephenb, this indeed did the trick.
