Try OpenSearch with Docker Compose
The best way to try out OpenSearch is to use Docker Compose. These steps will set up a two node cluster of OpenSearch plus OpenSearch Dashboards:
- Set up your Docker host environment
- macOS & Windows: In Docker Preferences > Resources, set RAM to at least 4 GB.
- Linux: Ensure
vm.max_map_countis set to at least 262144 as per the documentation.
- Download docker-compose.yml into your desired directory
- Note for OpenSearch 2.12 or later:
Fresh installs of 2.12 or later require that you define an admin password — using the
OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORDenvironment variable — when configuring the security demo. For more information, see Setting up a demo configuration.

OpenSearch
OpenSearch is a distributed search and analytics engine based on Apache Lucene. After adding your data to OpenSearch, you can perform full-text searches on it with all of the features you might expect: search by field, search multiple indices, boost fields, rank results by score, sort results by field, and aggregate results.
OpenSearch Dashboards
OpenSearch Dashboards is the default visualization tool for data in OpenSearch. It also serves as a user interface for many of the OpenSearch plugins, including security, alerting, Index State Management, SQL, and more.
Minimal Distributions
The following distributions include the bare minimum features required for a functioning OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards. It is intended for those who already have custom plugins or are intending to integrate/embed OpenSearch with other services.
If you are an end user, you probably do not want these distributions.
OpenSearch Minimum
This distribution lacks important security features and should be only used in carefully controlled environments.
