I am developing a search application using elasticsearch and I would like to keep the development cost as low as possible. What are the minimum requirements for elasticsearch to run properly inside a docker container?

I am especially interested in the RAM as I believe this is the bottle neck.

I have been looking all over the place for this, but I can't seem to find any documentation on the minimum hardware requirements for elasticsearch what so ever. Maybe my googlefu isn't good enough, or maybe everyone working on elasticsearch have a big server budget.

  • https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/hardware.html docker is incidental. – user9517 Nov 30 '15 at 21:13
  • I have read that document, but nowhere does it mention the minimum requirements. It says `A machine with 64 GB of RAM is the ideal sweet spot, but 32 GB and 16 GB machines are also common.`, all of which appears to be orders of magnitude more that what should be the minimum. – Automatico Nov 30 '15 at 22:00
  • Test it with your hardware and your expected load. Increase hardware resources until you get the performance you need. – EEAA Dec 01 '15 at 02:00
