Elasticsearch version : 7.7

In this article, we will be using docker-compose to create a container with plugin pre-installed.

Core Plugin

Plugins that maintained by Elasticsearch team. List of plugin: doc.

1. Create a docker-compose.yml file :

   1
   2
   3
   4
   5
   6
   7
   8
   9
   10

   14
    version: '2'
    services:
      es_v7:
        image: elasticsearch:7.7.0
        environment:
          - node.name=es01
          - cluster.name=es-docker-cluster
          - discovery.type=single-node
        ports:
          - "9200:9200"
        volumes:
          - .:/mnt
        entrypoint: /mnt/docker-entrypoint-es.sh
       
   

   • Set discovery.type=single-node if you intented to run single node mode.
   • Port is exposed to 9200.
   • The location of the script is mount to /mnt directory in the container.
     
     

2. Create a script file docker-entrypoint-es.sh :

   1

   5
    #!/bin/bash
       
    bin/elasticsearch-plugin install analysis-phonetic
    exec /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh elasticsearch
       
   

   
   
   

3. Run docker-compose up.

Custom Plugin

Custom plugins that developed by community.

1. Create docker-compose.yml file
   (Refer Core Plugin - Step 1)
   
   

2. Create a directory (e.g: analysis-plugin) same location as docker-compose.yml.
   E.g.

3. Move the plugin jars and properties into the created directory.
   E.g.
   In my case, I’m trying to import analysis-pinyin which has artifacts of 2 jars + 1 properties file.

   

4. Create a script file docker-entrypoint-es.sh :

   1
   2
   3

   5
    #!/bin/bash
   
    cp -R /apps/<custom-plugin> /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins
    exec /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh elasticsearch
   
   

   
   
   

5. Run docker-compose up.
