Trying to install Elasticsearch and Kibana 8.4.3 Docker containers on a development laptop, and run elasticsearch-py commands from an app in another running container. And I'm stuck.
I have the ES8 and Kibana containers up, and can access ES from Kibana, create indexes, etc., but when I try to make a connection from the app container to the running ES instance with a python statement, I get "Connection refused" no matter what connection statement I use. E.g.
es = Elasticsearch( [{ 'host': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 9200,'scheme': 'https'}], ca_certs="./http_ca.crt", http_auth=('elastic', ${ELASTIC_PASSWORD}) )
The configuration and accessing of http_ca.crt seems to have something to do with it. Maybe I'm missing something about a network: config item; can't find documentation about when that is called for.
I have followed the instructions in the Elasticsearch docs explicitly: here, and took the docker-compose example there, removed references to nodes 2 and 3, and started the containers with
docker-compose -f docker-compose-esk.yml.
The environment variables are read from a .env file. I set the exposed ports to 9201 and 5602 respectively to avoid conflict with my non-Docker ES & Kibana installs running on the same laptop.
As I say, the following will get me accessing the container's ES instance with Kibana on localhost:5602
