Preparation: Installing Kitematic

First, install Kitematic.

The Home screen after Kitematic installation looks like this.

Elasticsearch Installation

Search for Elasticsearch Docker Image

Search for Elasticsearch Docker images from the search form.

Select Specific Version of Elasticsearch

As is, it will create the latest version of Elasticsearch Docker Image.

If you want to create a specific version of Docker Image, you can switch TAG to specify the version.

elasticsearch2.3.1 Docker GUI Kitematic

The above example specifies Elasticsearch version 2.3.1.

Create Elasticsearch Docker Image

Specify the Elasticsearch version and click the CREATE button to create the Docker Image.

This completes all the work.

Change Elasticsearch Hostname and Port Number

In Kitematic, you can change hostname and port number from Settings.

Hostname/Ports Settings - Docker GUI Kitematic

Port changes were particularly unclear, but it seems you can change them by clicking.

That’s all from the Gemba, where I want to set up an Elasticsearch development environment with Docker GUI Kitematic.
