How to use the official docker elasticsearch container?

Question

I have the following Dockerfile:

FROM docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.4.0
RUN elasticsearch
EXPOSE 80

I think the 3rd line is never reached.

When I try to access the dockercontainer from my local machine through: 172.17.0.2:9300

I get nothing, what am I missing? I want to access elasticsearch from the local host machine.

Please refer to version specific documentation, which can be accessed in the version drop-down present in elasticsearch official documentation.
