OpenSearch Developer Environment

A locally running development environment with a quick setup using docker-compose

Getting Started

1. Install Docker

Install steps here: Docker.

The new version of Docker Desktop includes docker-compose V2, so you don't have to install it separately. This project works with both versions of docker-compose, but uses V2 syntax in the examples.

2. Start the services

docker compose up

Please note that depending on your system, the first time you run this command it may take a while to download the images.

3. Access the services

Test connection to OpenSearch using the following command:

curl http://localhost:9200

Open the dashboard in your browser: OpenSearch Dashboard

Clean up

Use my cleanup script to remove all containers, images, and volumes

make clean

Alternatively, you can clean up manually by entering the commands from the Makefile.
