Hello

I have this (working) docker-compose.yml file (before server. tries):

> version: '3'  
> services:  
> elasticsearch:  
> image: [docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.2](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.6.2)  
> environment:  
> - node.name=es01  
> - cluster.name=es-docker-cluster  
> - "discovery.type=single-node"  
> ports:  
> - 9200:9200
> 
> kibana:  
> depends\_on:  
> - elasticsearch  
> image: [docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.6.2](http://docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.6.2)  
> ports:  
> - 5601:5601

With locally kibana I could edit kibana.yml and set server.basePath and server.host (and then do redirect to kibana address using java tomcat servelt ) but I not success to do it via the docker image.  
I tried to add them under environment:

> environment:  
> - "server.basePath: /kibana"  
> - "server.host: 0.0.0.0"

The docker us running but I still can access Kibana via the regular url ([http://localhost:5601](http://localhost:5601))

I'll be glad to know what the correct way to initialize those parameters via docker file.

Thank you very much!

Hey @AsfK,

Kibana requires a different config format for docker, in order to be compatible with orchestration systems: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html#environment-variable-config](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html#environment-variable-config)

Try specifying this format instead:

```auto
environment:
- "SERVER_BASEPATH=/kibana"
- "SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0"

```
