=== Install {es} with Docker

{es} is also available as Docker images.
The images use https://hub.docker.com/_/centos/[centos:7] as the base image and
are available with {xpack-ref}/xpack-introduction.html[X-Pack].
The images use https://hub.docker.com/_/centos/[centos:7] as the base image.

A list of all published Docker images and tags can be found in https://www.docker.elastic.co[www.docker.elastic.co]. The source code can be found
on https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-docker/tree/{branch}[GitHub].

==== Image types

The images are available in three different configurations or "flavors". The
`basic` flavor, which is the default, ships with {xpack} Basic features
pre-installed and automatically activated with a free licence. The `platinum`
flavor features all {xpack} functionally under a 30-day trial licence. The `oss`
flavor does not include {xpack}, and contains only open-source {es}.
These images are free to use under the Elastic license. They contain open source
and free commercial features and access to paid commercial features.
{xpack-ref}/license-management.html[Start a 30-day trial] to try out all of the
paid commercial features. See the
https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[Subscriptions] page for information about
Elastic license levels.

NOTE: {xpack-ref}/xpack-security.html[X-Pack Security] is enabled in the `platinum`
image. To access your cluster, it's necessary to set an initial password for the
`elastic` user. The initial password can be set at start up time via the
`ELASTIC_PASSWORD` environment variable:
Alternatively, you can download `-oss` images, which contain only features that
are available under the Apache 2.0 license.

["source","txt",subs="attributes"]
--------------------------------------------
docker run -e ELASTIC_PASSWORD=MagicWord {docker-repo}-platinum:{version}
--------------------------------------------

NOTE: The `platinum` image includes a trial license for 30 days. After that, you
can obtain one of the https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[available
subscriptions] or revert to a Basic licence. The Basic license is free and
includes a selection of {xpack} features.
==== Pulling the image

Obtaining {es} for Docker is as simple as issuing a +docker pull+ command
against the Elastic Docker registry.
