Good afternoon, I need help with elastic and docker-compose, the point is to add username and password to my elastic database with either kibana or no kibana. I can't figure out how to do it without adding all the certificates and I don't want to do all of that. Is there anything that can help me with that? version: '3.6' services: elasticsearch4: ``` image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.1 container_name: elasticsearch4 ports: - "9203:9200" environment: - cluster.name=elastic-udt-cluster - ELASTIC_USERNAME=elastic - ELASTIC_PASSWORD=DkIedPPSCb - xpack.security.enabled=true - xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled=true #- xpack.monitoring.enabled=true #- xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled=true #- xpack.license.self_generated.type=trial - node.name=elasticsearch4 - http.cors.enabled=true - http.cors.allow-origin=* - bootstrap.memory_lock=true - node.max_local_storage_nodes=4 - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m" - discovery.seed_hosts=elasticsearch,elasticsearch2,elasticsearch3,elasticsearch4 - cluster.initial_master_nodes=elasticsearch,elasticsearch2,elasticsearch3,elasticsearch4 ulimits: memlock: soft: -1 hard: -1 nofile: soft: ## hard: # volumes: - '/vv/docker/elasticsearch/data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data' networks: - elasticNetwork ``` kibana: ``` image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.6.1 container_name: kibana environment: ELASTICSEARCH_URL: "http://elasticsearch:9200" ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS: "http://elasticsearch:9200" XPACK_MONITORING_ENABLED: "true" XPACK_MONITORING_COLLECTION_ENABLED: "true" XPACK_SECURITY_ENABLED: "true" ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME: "#" ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD: "#" ports: - 5601:5601 networks: - elasticNetwork ``` networks: elasticNetwork: ``` driver: bridge ipam: driver: default config: - subnet: #### ``` ---

Here is how I'm setting that with docker compose ( `docker-compose.yml`): ```auto --- version: '3' services: elasticsearch: image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:$ELASTIC_VERSION environment: - bootstrap.memory_lock=true - discovery.type=single-node - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms2g -Xmx2g" - ELASTIC_PASSWORD=$ELASTIC_PASSWORD - xpack.security.enabled=$ELASTIC_SECURITY ulimits: memlock: soft: -1 hard: -1 ports: - 9200:9200 networks: ['stack'] kibana: image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:$ELASTIC_VERSION environment: - ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME=elastic - ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD=$ELASTIC_PASSWORD ports: ['5601:5601'] networks: ['stack'] links: ['elasticsearch'] depends_on: ['elasticsearch'] networks: stack: {} ``` `.env` file is: ```auto ELASTIC_VERSION=7.6.1 ELASTIC_SECURITY=true ELASTIC_PASSWORD=changeme ``` ---

And with that asks for passwords and user in elasticsearh and Kibana? ---

I did the same thing and it sends me an error "Plase set [xpack.security.transport.ssl.enable] to true" Only with SSL can I put a password? ☹ ---

If you have multiple nodes, yes. Otherwise everything is in clear text between nodes which defeats security. ---

That is very sad ☹ I need to put security to my nodes. ---

Why being secure is sad? ---

Just said, Do you have a guide where I can see how to integrate the ssl to the nodes? ---
