I am trying to use [DDEV](https://www.ddev.com/), a Local Development environment, and use elasticsearch 6.8 with Drupal 8 site. I started to use the [example recipe](https://github.com/drud/ddev-contrib/blob/master/docker-compose-services/elasticsearch/docker-compose-elasticsearch.yaml). But since it is not working and missing some parameters, so I want to get it working and contribute back ddev\_contrib with a elastic-stack (elasticsearch and kibana). But I have used almost two whole days with no luck to find the reason. On a vanilla Drupal site, it worked with my setup. But not on an existing project which I am getting elasticsearch exited or died. My `docker-compose-elastic-stack.yaml` looks: ```auto version: '3.6' services: elasticsearch: container_name: ddev-${DDEV_SITENAME}-elasticsearch hostname: ${DDEV_SITENAME}-elasticsearch image: elasticsearch:6.8.0 ports: - "9200" environment: - cluster.name=docker-cluster - bootstrap.memory_lock=true - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m" - VIRTUAL_HOST=$DDEV_HOSTNAME - HTTP_EXPOSE=9200 ulimits: memlock: soft: -1 hard: -1 labels: com.ddev.site-name: ${DDEV_SITENAME} com.ddev.approot: $DDEV_APPROOT volumes: - elasticsearch:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data - ".:/mnt/ddev_config" kibana: container_name: ddev-${DDEV_SITENAME}-kibana hostname: ${DDEV_SITENAME}-kibana image: kibana:6.8.0 depends_on: - elasticsearch ports: - "5601" environment: - VIRTUAL_HOST=$DDEV_HOSTNAME - HTTP_EXPOSE=5601 labels: com.ddev.site-name: ${DDEV_SITENAME} com.ddev.approot: $DDEV_APPROOT volumes: - ".:/mnt/ddev_config" web: links: - elasticsearch:elasticsearch volumes: elasticsearch: name: "${DDEV_SITENAME}-elasticsearch" ``` ---

The problem was resolved. I had to remove the old volume which I might have created before by mistake configurations, then rebuild it again and now it works as I wanted in both vanilla site and existing project. 🙂 Thanks to Randy Fay from DDEV. 🙏 To check the old volume, I used `docker volume ls | grep elastic` then delete the unwanted volume or the volume which I had problem with. ---
