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.
- Note for OpenSearch 2.12 or later:
Fresh installs of 2.12 or later require that you define an admin password — using the
- Run
docker-compose up - Have a nice coffee while everything is downloading and starting up
- Navigate to http://localhost:5601/ for OpenSearch Dashboards
- Login with the default username (
admin) and password (<custom-admin-password>)
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.

The OpenSearch command line interface (opensearch-cli) lets you manage your cluster from the command line and automate tasks.
Drivers
OpenSearch provides SQL drivers like ODBC and JDBC that let you integrate OpenSearch with business intelligence software and other tools.
ODBC Driver
JDBC Driver
The Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver is a read-only driver for connecting business intelligence and data visualization applications with OpenSearch using SQL.
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.
OpenSearch Dashboards Minimum
This distribution lacks important security features and should be only used in carefully controlled environments.
