Docker-compose for local development.

• Clone the repository
• Install docker-desktop from https://www.docker.com/get-started
• Start docker-desktop
• Get inside local-dokcer repository folder.

• To run the MongoDB inside the docker container run the command

docker-compose up MongoDB -d

• If you want to connect with MongoDB from your host machine to the container then install mongo client on the host machine.

xcode-select --install

brew tap mongodb/brew

brew install mongodb-community-shell mongodb-database-tools mongosh

Now you can access your MongoDB instance by running the mongo command on the terminal.

• Bring up the containers by running

docker-compose up elasticsearch -d

• While docker-compose up is running, get inside the elasticsearch container by running the command:

docker-compose exec elasticsearch bash

Then run the following command to generate passwords for all the built-in users:

[root@a4f615e87653 elasticsearch]# bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords auto

Note them down and keep them somewhere safe. Exit the container by pressing CTRL+D

• Now restart the elasticsearch docker container by running the command:

docker-compose down elasticsearch
docker-compose up elasticsearch -d

Now you can access your elasticsearch instance on http://elastic:<YOUR_ELASTIC_USER_PASSWORD>@localhost:9200

Note: You can change your elastic password by making a post request from Postman or Kibana.

POST /_security/user/elastic/_password
{
  "password" : <YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD>
}

• Open the kibana.yml file and change the elasticsearch.password. It should look like this:

server.name: kibana
server.host: "0"
elasticsearch.hosts: [ "http://elasticsearch:9200" ]
elasticsearch.username: kibana
elasticsearch.password: <kibana password>

• To run the kibana inside the docker container run the command

docker-compose up kibana -d

Now you can access your kibana instance on http://localhost:5601. It will require a username and password. username will be elastic and password will be <YOUR_ELASTIC_USER_PASSWORD>
