# How to use this image

You can run the default `elasticsearch` command simply:

	docker run -d elasticsearch

You can also pass in additional flags to `elasticsearch`:

	docker run -d elasticsearch elasticsearch -Des.node.name="TestNode"

This image comes with a default set of configuration files for `elasticsearch`, but if you want to provide your own set of configuration files, you can do so via a volume mounted at `/usr/share/elasticsearch/config`:

	docker run -d -v "$PWD/config":/usr/share/elasticsearch/config elasticsearch

This image is configured with a volume at `/usr/share/elasticsearch/data` to hold the persisted index data. Use that path if you would like to keep the data in a mounted volume:

	docker run -d -v "$PWD/esdata":/usr/share/elasticsearch/data elasticsearch

This image includes `EXPOSE 9200 9300` ([default `http.port`](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.5/modules-http.html)), so standard container linking will make it automatically available to the linked containers.
