I can start elasticsearch with Kibana using the following 2 docker commands...

docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 --name elasticsearch-pb elasticsearch
docker run -d -p 5601:5601 --name kibana-pb --link elasticsearch-pb:elasticsearch -e ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200 kibana

But how do I start es with script support using docker?

Usually this is done by adding 2 lines to elasticsearch.yml file.

script.inline: on
script.indexed: on

how do I change the config file within docker image?

Build a custom image that includes those options.

Create a directory for your docker image

mkdir my_elasticsearch
cd my_elasticsearch

Create an elasticsearch.yml with all the options including

script.inline: on
script.indexed: on

Create a Dockerfile that copies the config file.

from elasticsearch
copy elastcsearch.yml /container/path/to/elasticsearch.yml

Build and tag the image

docker build -t my/elasticsearch .

Then run your image

docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 --name elasticsearch-pb my/elasticsearch

You might want to publish your image to the Docker Hub or another registry so you only need to build it once.

You can also use docker-compose to manage the build process and multiple containers.

One approach is to create your own elasticsearch image, through a Dockerfile starting with the official elasticsearch image.

FROM elasticsearch:5
COPY myconfig /path/to/elasticsearch.yml

That way, your image can start an elasticsearch container with the right configuration pre-setted.
