# How to use this image
|
|
|
|
You can run the default `elasticsearch` command simply:
|
|
|
|
docker run -d elasticsearch
|
|
|
|
You can also pass in additional flags to `elasticsearch`:
|
|
|
|
docker run -d elasticsearch elasticsearch -Des.node.name="TestNode"
|
|
|
|
This image comes with a default set of configuration files for `elasticsearch`, but if you want to provide your own set of configuration files, you can do so via a volume mounted at `/usr/share/elasticsearch/config`:
|
|
|
|
docker run -d -v "$PWD/config":/usr/share/elasticsearch/config elasticsearch
|
|
|
|
This image is configured with a volume at `/usr/share/elasticsearch/data` to hold the persisted index data. Use that path if you would like to keep the data in a mounted volume:
|
|
|
|
docker run -d -v "$PWD/esdata":/usr/share/elasticsearch/data elasticsearch
