Why use Bitnami Images?

• Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
• With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
• Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
• All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution.
• All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Docker Content Trust (DCT). You can use DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1 to verify the integrity of the images.
• Bitnami container images are released daily with the latest distribution packages available.

Why use a non-root container?

Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers in our docs.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page.

• 5, 5-debian-10, 5.8.4, 5.8.4-debian-10-r348, latest (5/debian-10/Dockerfile)

Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami Elasticsearch Curator Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.

$ docker pull bitnami/elasticsearch-curator:latest

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.

$ docker pull bitnami/elasticsearch-curator:[TAG]

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself.

$ docker build -t bitnami/elasticsearch-curator:latest 'https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-elasticsearch-curator.git#master:5/debian-10'

Connecting to other containers

Using Docker container networking, a different server running inside a container can easily be accessed by your application containers and vice-versa.

Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname.

Using the Command Line

Step 1: Create a network

$ docker network create elasticsearch-curator-network --driver bridge

Step 2: Launch the Elasticsearch Curator container within your network

Use the --network <NETWORK> argument to the docker run command to attach the container to the elasticsearch-curator-network network.

$ docker run --name elasticsearch-curator-node1 --network elasticsearch-curator-network bitnami/elasticsearch-curator:latest

Step 3: Run another containers

We can launch another containers using the same flag (--network NETWORK) in the docker run command. If you also set a name to your container, you will be able to use it as hostname in your network.

Configuration

Find all of the Elasticsearch Curator configuration options in the official Curator Reference page.

Logging

The Bitnami Elasticsearch Curator Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs:

$ docker logs elasticsearch-curator

You can configure the containers logging driver using the --log-driver option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file driver.
