Hi there,

this might be a pretty dumb question but how do i change the password of an existing cluster?

i tried editing the .env file followed by make setup and

docker stop/start elastic_elasticsearch_1 elastic_kibana_1 elastic_logstash_1
docker-compose down -> docker-compose-up -d

My service is public facing and i messed the initial password up ;)

Thanks in advance

@nikolinsko You can use the Change Password API. Or the Utility Tools inside the container (by exec'ing inside).

Another way would be to expose the password you want as an environment variable via export ELASTIC_PASSWORD=<password>, then run make setup, this should replace your existing ./secrets/keystore/elasticsearch.keystore file that holds your bootstrap.password.
