I am developing a spring-boot application with the aid of the new ElasticSearch Java Client 8.4. I need an ElasticSearch server running on docker with same version. Otherwise, some queries may not be performed because of incompatibility issues.

I know that ElasticSearh is no more open source from version 7.10, and has 2 kind of licences as you ca read here: https://www.elastic.co/pricing/faq/licensing

Question is, how may I implement an Elasticseach server on Docker by using free licence? What should I do on Docker in order to choose SSPL license?

Thanks

CodePudding user response：

Tldr;

No need to worry, by default you will be using the free license.

Solutions

You can set it in the env.

Such as

LICENSE=basic

The default is basic (SSPL license)

xpack.license.self_generated.type:

(Static) Set to basic (default) to enable basic X-Pack features.
