ElasticSearch unknown settings [cluster.initial_master_nodes]

[jeremynikolic]

Description:

I encountered a bug when using older version of ElasticSearch. I thought it would be nice to document it somewhere and help others save a bit of time finding the issue.

The docker-compose contains a line that can prevent ElasticSearch older versions (<7 I believe) to crash on startup:
- cluster.initial_master_nodes=laradock-node

If present for old version, this will result in the following error
unknown settings [cluster.initial_master_nodes] ...

Solution

Remove the line in docker-compose.yml
I don't know if this could be a conditional environment value

Looks like both lines which were added in this commit should be commented out for older version:
- node.name=laradock-node
- cluster.initial_master_nodes=laradock-node

For me, it also required removing old ES volume: docker volume rm laradock_elasticsearch
