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
