Using OpenSearch Dashboards

Chainguard OpenSearch images include the opensearch package and helper scripts which can be used to start up or configure OpenSearch.

The full list of included tools is:

$ ls /usr/share/opensearch-dashboards/bin/
opensearch-dashboards      opensearch-dashboards-plugin      opensearch-dashboards-keystore      use_node

The default entrypoint is set to run the included /usr/share/opensearch-dashboards/opensearch-dashboards-docker-entrypoint.sh script.

To get started:

Install OpenSearch and then OpenSearch Dashboards.

1. Add the OpenSearch Helm Repository

helm repo add opensearch https://opensearch-project.github.io/helm-charts

2. Create Your Custom OpenSearch Values File

Create a custom values file to specify the configuration for your OpenSearch deployment. Below are the contents you'll use for this example. Copy the following configuration into a file named values-opensearch.yaml.

singleNode: true # useful for single node testing
majorVersion: "2"
image:
  repository: cgr.dev/chainguard/opensearch
  tag: latest

3. Install OpenSearch with Helm Now, you're ready to install OpenSearch using the Helm chart and your custom values file. Run the following command to start the deployment:

helm install opensearch opensearch/opensearch -f values-opensearch.yaml

4. Create Your Custom OpenSearch Dashboard Values File values-opensearch-dashboard.yaml.

singleNode: true
majorVersion: "2"
image:
  repository: cgr.dev/chainguard/opensearch-dasboards
  tag: latest
startupProbe:
  timeoutSeconds: 10
  initialDelaySeconds: 20

5. Install OpenSearch Dasboards with Helm

helm install opensearch-dashboards opensearch/opensearch-dashboards  -f values-opensearch-dashboard.yaml

6. Access the UI using an ingress controller or kubectl port-forward

kubectl port-forward svc/opensearch-dashboards 5601:5601

7. Access the Dashboard

Visit http://localhost:5601

8. Login in

Using default setup credentials admin/admin

What are Chainguard Containers?

Chainguard Containers are minimal container images that are secure by default.

In many cases, the Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Containers are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.

The main features of Chainguard Containers include:

• Minimal design, without unnecessary software bloat
• Daily builds to ensure container images are up-to-date with available security patches
• High quality build-time SBOMs attesting to the provenance of all artifacts within the image
• Verifiable signatures provided by Sigstore
• Reproducible builds with Cosign and apko (read more about reproducibility)

For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a -dev variant.

Although the -dev container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to leverage the -dev variants, copying application artifacts into a final minimal container that offers a reduced attack surface that won’t allow package installations or logins.
