As of November 7th, 2018, I've decided to end my commitment to maintaining this repo and related.

This image has surpassed 100k daily downloads and is now steady at ~45k. Amazing!

Anyway, it's been 3 years since I last used Elasticsearch, so I no longer have the motivation it takes to maintain and evolve this project. Also, other projects need all the attention I can give.

It was a great run, thank you all.

Ready to use, lean Elasticsearch Docker image ready for using within a Kubernetes cluster.

• Alpine Linux 3.8
• IcedTea JRE 8u171
• Elasticsearch 6.4.2

Note: x-pack-ml module is forcibly disabled as it's not supported on Alpine Linux.

See pires/kubernetes-elasticsearch-cluster for instructions on how to run, scale and use Elasticsearch on Kubernetes.

This image can be configured by means of environment variables, that one can set on a Deployment.

Besides the inherited ones, this container image provides the following:

• DISCOVERY_SERVICE - the service to be queried for through DNS (default = elasticsearch-discovery).
• MEMORY_LOCK - memory locking control defaults to false as Kubernetes requires swap to be disabled.
