Docker-compose for nodejs and elasticsearch with data volume

Use docker-compose to start docker containers:

nodejs
Kibana
elasticsearch
data container for elasticsearch

Purpose

A simple demo project for docker-compose config for nodejs+kibana+elasticsearch that we will use as base for other projects based on nodejs+elasticsearch.

Prereq

The stuff you need to get going:

install [docker-machine](https://docs.docker.com/machine/) (OSX)
install [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)
git clone <this project>

Note: You do not need nodejs or elasticsearch installed on your host machine. It's all installed in the docker containers.

Manage docker host with docker-machine (OSX)

Get docker host settings:

eval "$(docker-machine env default)"

Check "default" machine with

docker-machine ls

create new default host:

docker-machine create -d virtualbox default

or just start the default host:

docker-machine start default

Manage dockers with docker-compose

Using docker-compose config file. List dockers, bring them up, down...

docker-compose ps
docker-compose up
docker-compose down

Access services (nodejs and elasticsearch)

Since we are using docker-machine to run the docker host on OSX we need to use docker host ip:

eval "$(docker-machine env default)"
export DOCKER_HOST_IP=$(docker-machine ip default)

open web browser to elasticsearch:

open http://$DOCKER_HOST_IP:9200

open web browser to nodejs:

open http://$DOCKER_HOST_IP:3000

open web browser to kibana:
