Build an ELK stack, expose to accept incoming data about deeplens-experiments HOT 11 CLOSED

there's no linode stack script for ELK and Digital Ocean does not have a config for it either, so I'm setting off down the path of finding piecemeal component installation instructions and following them on a fresh server.

There's a hosted Elastic stack solution from Elastic that includes Kibana and it's $45/month / first month is free.
What factors drive the decision to pay $20/month to host my own webserver where I build, install and configure all the parts of ELK myself, vs $45/month to buy hosting, software, updates and support from elastic?

I'm working my way through the free elasticsearch trial.

Installing ES on a repurposed linode fails, probably because of security lockdown steps I took before on this machine when I was trying to set it up as a webserver. Starting from scratch with a fresh machine on digitalocean. (May 29, 2018 8:08:11 AM)

There are red items on the kibana dashboard, so I'm working on those now.

Kibana dashboard is green and I have 201 status replies from pushes of data from my machine to ES.

It's up. A sample curl that sends data looks like:
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' -XPOST '138.197.71.144:9200/_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @logs.jsonl
