Troubleshouting

Elasticsearch host inavailable within a container

Somehow, when Elasticsearch is launched inside a container it is inaccessible from another linked container. A configuration has to be set for it to work properly. Change IP as needed.

  docker run --name=elasticsearch elasticsearch elasticsearch -Des.network.bind_host=0.0.0.0
