How to use this image

You can run the default %%REPO%% command simply:

$ docker run --link some-elasticsearch:elasticsearch -d %%REPO%%

You can also pass in additional flags to %%REPO%%:

$ docker run --link some-elasticsearch:elasticsearch -d %%REPO%% --plugins /somewhere/else

This image includes EXPOSE 5601 (default port). If you'd like to be able to access the instance from the host without the container's IP, standard port mappings can be used:

$ docker run --name some-%%REPO%% --link some-elasticsearch:elasticsearch -p 5601:5601 -d %%REPO%%

You can also provide the address of elasticsearch via ELASTICSEARCH_URL environnement variable:

$ docker run --name some-kibana -e ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://some-elasticsearch:9200 -p 5601:5601 -d kibana

Then, access it via http://localhost:5601 or http://host-ip:5601 in a browser.
