I've successfully installed app-search (self-managed) on Ubuntu 18.04. I'm however not sure if I've configured it right. Here are the entries I've modified in my `app-search.yml` file: - ``` allow_es_settings_modification: true app_search.external_url: http://:3002 app_search.listen_host: ``` I can now access app-search from the `http://:3002 and it seems to be working as expected. I'm however wondering if above settings are correct. Should the `app\_search.listen\_host` be set to 127.0.0.1 OR my server IP? Is there any other setting I should pay attention to when going live with production server? Thank you in advance. Addendum: Upon restarting the app-search server; I'm unable to load pages. App Search throws - ``` Completed 401 Unauthorized in 68ms ``` I'm running with default settings and have not set any credentials to access app-search. What exactly is going wrong? ---
