Starting with ELK

[riosdfr (Fran)]

Dear All,

I am completely new to ELK and following some help I created a docker-compose.yml file in order to run it under Docker. Inside this file I configured a elasticsearch service and kibana, but accessing kibana is giving m problems "Login is currently disabled"

I have tried with xpack.authentication.enabled to false but every time that I change it in the yml file, docker console complaints that the compose file is invalid because of the config option.

Could anyone help me?
Thanks

Welcome!

Here is how I'm setting that with docker compose ( docker-compose.yml):

---
version: '3'
services:

  elasticsearch:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:$ELASTIC_VERSION
    environment:
      - bootstrap.memory_lock=true
      - discovery.type=single-node
      - ELASTIC_PASSWORD=$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:

ELASTIC_VERSION=7.9.2
ELASTIC_SECURITY=true
ELASTIC_PASSWORD=changeme

Thanks a lot. I will try it immediately!

No success so far. I post here my docker-compose.yml, in case anyone can see something that completely escapes from my understanding.

Why are you using such an old version? Why not use the latest version if you just starting out?
