Open Distro on Docker certificates for testing on localhost

[danielibars]

I tried to follow documentation
https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security/configuration/generate-certificates/

I want to install certificates on my local Docker (my laptop) so I can test security features, but the documentation is omitting details

I followed all the steps and I still can't start Elasticsearch.

I'm trying to start a single node ES with kibana installing all certificates with openssl with Docker, but is really hard to troubleshoot the process with current documentation

I hope you can post a tutorial somewhere in the documentation
Thanks in advance
Daniel

Hi @danielibars, thanks for letting us know about the issue. We've added some instructions to the Docker security config page that should help you configure certificate authentication. We generally recommend using the tarball installation to test configurations and then replicating those steps in other setups, but it's certainly possible to jump right in to Docker. If there's some lingering confusion after going through our instructions, please let us know.

Hope this helps!
