I used the following procedure to install Elastic Search and Kibana 8 RC2 :
# create the data directory on host for persistence
mkdir -p /data/elasticsearch/data
chmod 777 -R /data/elasticsearch/data
# create the elastic network
docker network create elastic
# run elastic search in background with data persistence in a single node configuration and test password
docker run -d -it --name els01 --net elastic -p 0.0.0.0:9200:9200 -p 0.0.0.0:9300:9300 -v /data/elasticsearch/data:/data/elasticsearch/data -e "discovery.type=single-node" -e ELASTIC_PASSWORD="test" -e KIBANA_PASSWORD="test" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.0.0-rc2
# run kibana in background
docker run -d -it --name kib01 --net elastic -p 0.0.0.0:5601:5601 -e KIBANA_PASSWORD="test" -e "ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS=https://els01:9200" docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.0.0-rc2
On the webpage http://10.0.2.1:5601/, I get this error :
Kibana server is not ready yet.
docker logs --tail 50 --follow --timestamps f82efc804e9c returns this error :
Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. self signed certificate in certificate chain
What do I need to change in order to have a functionnal Kibana on Elastic Search ?
Thanks
Elasticsearch 8 comes with SSL/TLS enabled by default Kibana has to have the CA certificate to verify and connect to elasticsearch.
How about you use the docker-compose file provided to set up a multi-cluster node. It will take care of the SSL/TLS certificate.
You will just need to
