Detach node from a cluster in docker

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello everyone!

I have a little question about the elasticsearch-node tool: Is it possible to use it in any way to detach a node from a cluster that exists in a docker container?

So far the tool throws an exception that a node cannot be detached if it is still running, which sounds reasonable. I tried shutting down the node inside the container, but it results in the container being shut down.

Thanks in advance for your answers!

What are you trying to achieve with this?

Hi Mark.
Because i lost all master nodes and want recollect cluster.

If you have lost all masters then you have lost the cluster, there is no recovering unless you have a backup.

But all my data nodes are still alive. And i suppose that this command can help to me to add my fata node to new mater node.
"elasticsearch-node detach-cluster"

You cannot attach a data node to a new master. If you have lost all master nodes and can not bring them back up you need to recreate the cluster and restore data from a snapshot.

I don't have any backup.
And this article says me that i can try to restore my data

But i can't run this command from docker container.

Can't you attach to the container in order to run the command?

9

To run command i need stop elasticsearch service. But when i stopping service docker container is closed...

Ah yes, that is true. Then I do not think you can recover the data in the cluster.

 docker run --name detach -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -v /your_volume_with_elastic_data -v /your__elastic_config -it **--entrypoint /bin/bash** elasticsearch:7.10.1

This right command to run docker. After that you can run bin/elasticsearch-nodes detach-cluster or other similar commands.
