Kibana connects to http://localhost:9200 instead of http://elasticsearch:9200 as advertised in documentation

[jpetazzo]

The doc for the image says:

$ docker run --link some-elasticsearch:elasticsearch -d kibana

But then when connecting to Kibana, it complains that it cannot connect to http://localhost:9200.

Adding ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200 to the environment does the trick.

I don't know if we want to provide that as a default env var, or update the docs, or both, but something has to be done :-)

I got the same error , warning: missing ELASTICSEARCH_PORT_9200_TCP or ELASTICSEARCH_URL Did you forget to --link some-elasticsearch:elasticsearch or -e ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://some-elasticsearch:9200 ?

just linking it doesn't work, you'll also have to add the ELASTICSEARCH_URL env variable, but since the containers are linked you can use the link in the url.

This should've been fixed by #44. 👍
