-The following commands help you very quickly spin up a single-node Elasticsearch cluster, together with Kibana in Docker.
-Use this setup for local development or testing.
+Quickly set up Elasticsearch and Kibana in Docker for local development or testing, using the https://github.com/elastic/start-local?tab=readme-ov-file#-try-elasticsearch-and-kibana-locally[`start-local` script].
 
-==== Prerequisites
+ℹ️ For more detailed information about the `start-local` setup, refer to the https://github.com/elastic/start-local[README on GitHub].
 
-If you don't have Docker installed, https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop[download and install Docker Desktop] for your operating system.
+==== Prerequisites
 
-==== Set environment variables
+- If you don't have Docker installed, https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop[download and install Docker Desktop] for your operating system.
+- If you're using Microsoft Windows, then install https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install[Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)].
 
-Configure the following environment variables.
+==== Trial license
 
-[source,sh]
-----
-export ELASTIC_PASSWORD="<ES_PASSWORD>"  # password for "elastic" username
-export KIBANA_PASSWORD="<KIB_PASSWORD>"   # Used internally by Kibana, must be at least 6 characters long
-----
+This setup comes with a one-month trial of the Elastic *Platinum* license.
+After the trial period, the license reverts to *Free and open - Basic*.
+Refer to https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[Elastic subscriptions] for more information.
 
-==== Create a Docker network
+==== Run `start-local`
 
-To run both Elasticsearch and Kibana, you'll need to create a Docker network:
+To set up Elasticsearch and Kibana locally, run the `start-local` script:
 
 [source,sh]
 ----
-docker network create elastic-net

-==== Run Elasticsearch
+This script creates an `elastic-start-local` folder containing configuration files and starts both Elasticsearch and Kibana using Docker.
 
-Start the Elasticsearch container with the following command:
+After running the script, you can access Elastic services at the following endpoints:

-==== Run Kibana (optional)
+The script generates a random password for the `elastic` user, which is displayed at the end of the installation and stored in the `.env` file.
 
-To run Kibana, you must first set the `kibana_system` password in the Elasticsearch container.
+[CAUTION]
+====
+This setup is for local testing only. HTTPS is disabled, and Basic authentication is used for Elasticsearch. For security, Elasticsearch and Kibana are accessible only through `localhost`.

-Start the Kibana container with the following command:
+An API key for Elasticsearch is generated and stored in the `.env` file as `ES_LOCAL_API_KEY`.
+Use this key to connect to Elasticsearch with a https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html[programming language client] or the https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rest-apis.html[REST API].

-The service is started with a trial license. The trial license enables all features of Elasticsearch for a trial period of 30 days. After the trial period expires, the license is downgraded to a basic license, which is free forever. If you prefer to skip the trial and use the basic license, set the value of the `xpack.license.self_generated.type` variable to basic instead.
