Elasticsearch: Deployment Instructions

1. Navigate to the Deployment Directory

   • Navigate to the directory where the Docker Compose file will be stored:
     /root/elasticsearch.

   • If the directory does not exist, create it:

     mkdir -p /root/elasticsearch
     mkdir -p /root/elasticsearch/certs

2. Prepare the docker-compose.yml File

   • Place the docker-compose.yml file in the directory.

   • Modify the file as needed to suit deployment requirements.

3. Copy Self-Signed Certificates

   • Copy your self-signed certificates to a folder named certs inside the deployment directory

4. Run the Docker Compose File (Initial Attempt)
   Run the following command to start the deployment:

   docker-compose up -d

The first run may fail because the certs folder must be placed in the elastic-config Docker volume.

5. Prepare the .env File

   • Copy the .env file to the /root/elasticsearch directory.

   • Modify the file as needed to suit deployment requirements.

6. Deploy the Elasticsearch Cluster

   • Start the containers with the following command:

     docker-compose up -d

Useful Docker Commands:

• Get container logs (in real-time, last 200 lines):

  docker logs -f -n200 elasticsearch-docker-node-1

• Get detailed information about the container:

  docker inspect elasticsearch-docker-node-1

• View resource usage statistics:

  docker stats elasticsearch-docker-node-1

• Stopping and Removing Containers

  docker-compose down
