Running a local kibana in a container

[stam585 (Mysurf Mail)]

I am trying to run use kibana console with my local elasticsearch (container)
In the ElasticSearch documentation I see

docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.2

Which lets me run the community edition in a quick one liner.

Looking at the kibana documentation i see only

docker pull docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.2.2

Replacing pull with run it looks for the x-pack (I think it means not community) and fails to find the ES

Unable to revive connection: http://elasticsearch:9200/

Is there a one liner that could easily set up kibana localy in a container?
All I need is to work with the console (Sense replacement)

Kibana's looking for an elasticsearch cluster with a domain of elasticsearch. These two containers need to be linked together with a network - https://docs.docker.com/network/

If you have docker-compose available it'll do this for you:

version: '2'
services:
  elasticsearch:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.2
    environment:
      - discovery.type=single-node
    ports:
      - 127.0.0.1:9200:9200
  kibana:
    image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.2.2
    ports:
      - 127.0.0.1:5601:5601

docker-compose up

Are you using Console to manage a separate cluster? The versions bundled with Kibana only let you connect to the backing elasticsearch cluster.

Thanks. Works wonderfully.
