I have my elasticsearch deployed as a Docker container on AWS, sitting behind an Application Load Balancer. The container is listening on port 9200 as usual, but I'm using path based routing for all my micro-services behind the ALB. So [https://mydomain.com/](https://mydomain.com/) routes to our Web App and [https://mydomain.com/search/](https://mydomain.com/search/) routes to elasticsearch, but when elasticsearch receives the query it thinks I'm trying to query the `search` index. Is there a way to tell elasticsearch that it's base URL is [https://mydomain.com/search/](https://mydomain.com/search/)? Is `network.bind_host` the proper option?

`network.bund_host` is for where Elasticsearch will listen to, IP or hostname or interface, not a path.

So this isn't something that Elasticsearch can handle for you and you need to do that in your LB.
