Note

We run ElasticSearch from a Docker container because Ubuntu 14.04 is using version 2.4.6.

Note

We are using this container, https://hub.docker.com/_/elasticsearch/, because I can’t find an official ElasticSearch container for version 2.4.

To start ElasticSearch in a Docker container:

docker run elasticsearch:2.4.6
# find the container ID
docker ps
# find the IP address of your container
docker inspect c20f2a08570e | grep "IPAddress"
# check ElasticSearch is running (using 'httpie')
http GET "http://172.17.0.2:9200/"

Update your .private file to include the IP address of the container:

set -x ELASTICSEARCH_HOST "172.17.0.2"
set -x ELASTICSEARCH_PORT "9200"

Note

This is the syntax for the fish shell.
