Configure Elasticsearch
Once the elasticsearch has been installed on your system, open the elasticsearch.yml
configuration file.
vi /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
Search for the line that contains network.host
, uncomment it, and change the value to 0.0.0.0.
Set the network host to 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces and make it available publicly,
network.host: 0.0.0.0
In case you want to configure this to be private/local to your machine.
You will have to set the network.host
to 127.0.0.1
, so the content is not public.
Add discovery.type: single-node
under the discovery section,
discovery.type: single-node
Save and exit the file once modified and restart the Elasticsearch service for the changes to take effect.
systemctl restart elasticsearch
