Kibana refuses connection, nothing in logs

[sergesyrota]

I've pulled latest (8.3.3) image, as well as oss-8.3.3, and started with basic configuration using docker-compose:

    elk:
        image: sebp/elk:oss-8.3.3
        container_name: elk
        ports:
            - 5601:5601 # Kibana UI
            - 9200:9200 # Elastic JSON
            - 5044:5044 # Logstash Beats interface
            - 9600:9600 # Logstash monitoring API

Waited a few minutes... When I connect to host:5601, I get "connection refused." Same if I execute bash inside container and run curl localhost:5601.

ElasticSearch is fine, and accessible on port 9200:

{
"name": "elk",
"cluster_name": "elasticsearch",
"cluster_uuid": "VnfgEDfrS1SZKkQthFf27Q",
"version": {
"number": "8.3.3",
"build_flavor": "default",
"build_type": "tar",
"build_hash": "801fed82df74dbe537f89b71b098ccaff88d2c56",
"build_date": "2022-07-23T19:30:09.227964828Z",
"build_snapshot": false,
"lucene_version": "9.2.0",
"minimum_wire_compatibility_version": "7.17.0",
"minimum_index_compatibility_version": "7.0.0"
},
"tagline": "You Know, for Search"
}

Inside the container, /var/log/kibana/kibana5.log is empty. However, I see kibana process running fine:

root@6d660c331b7c:/# ps aux | grep kibana
kibana       199 97.4  0.0   2616   104 ?        R    18:23   1:25 start-stop-daemon --start --user kibana -c kibana --group kibana --pidfile /var/run/kibana5.pid --make-pidfile --background --exec /opt/kibana/bin/kibana -- -l /var/log/kibana/kibana5.log

If I kill the process, and start it in foreground manually with gosu kibana /opt/kibana/bin/kibana, it starts up just fine, and I'm able to access port 5601.

Any advice on what I can try for Kibana to be able to start up automatically?

Wir have a similar issue with version 8.6.2. Started the container with "docker run -p 5601:5601 -p 9200:9200 -p 5044:5044 -it --name elk sebp/elk" without any mounted volumes or configuration. Any idea what this could be?

If you exec bash in, you will see kibana service has a lot of CPU. I thin it's doing some first-time build of the project during first setup. Just leave for a few minutes and come back and the service will be built and working 😄

took me a sec to figure that out too.
