  • Instead of posting the relevant error message in an externally hosted image, can you copy and paste the text from your terminal and include it as part of the question?

  • Unexpected response code [403] from calling GET 172.17.0.2:9200/_xpack/se curity/_authenticate?pretty Possible causes include: * The relative path of the URL is incorrect. Is there a proxy in-between? * The protocol (http/https) does not match the port. * Is this really an Elasticsearch server?

When using docker it is usually best to configure services via environment variables. To set a password for the elasticsearch service you can run the container using the env variable ELASTIC_PASSWORD:

docker run -e ELASTIC_PASSWORD=`openssl rand -base64 12` -p 9200:9200 --rm --name elastic docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-platinum:6.2.4

openssl rand -base64 12 sets a random value for the password
