secure Kibana and elasticsearch using SSL / TLS

Question

Thanks for taking the time to read this :) My web app (grimoirelab) contains multiple services spun up using docker-compose which contains elasticsearch and kibana . Port 5601 (kibana) is open and accessible through the web.

I want to enable SSL / TLS in the Kibana container , i.e , change the URL from http to https

Kibana and Elasticsearch are both of Version : 6.8.6

I have very less experience in web security so would really appreciate any guidance on the same...

You can follow this elasticsearch documentation for configuration of SSL and TLS, and it is available as free after 6.8 version.

Please check Configuring SSL, TLS, and HTTPS to secure Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash blog.

Please check this documentation for how to setup SSL and TLS with Elasticsearch Docker Container.
