Take a look at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/\_configuring\_kibana\_on\_docker.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/_configuring_kibana_on_docker.html)

Kibana is trying to use the `elasticsearch` hostname by default, which would work if you connected the elasticsearch container to the kibana container (like we do in the [stack-docker](https://github.com/elastic/stack-docker)).

If you don't want to explicitly connect the two containers you can specify an alternate hostname and port with the `ELASTICSEARCH_URL` environment variable
