Hello ,

I am trying to connect to Elasticsearch using docker but I keep getting connection refused error while elasticsearch is running on localhost:9200

This is my docker-compose file

version: '3.8'

      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:

    depends_on:
      - elasticsearch
    environment:
      - ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200
    networks:
      - elasticnet

I am initiating Elasticsearch like this

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

class ElasticsearchClient:
    client = None

    @classmethod
    def get_instance(self):
        if self.client is None:
            self.client = Elasticsearch("http://elasticsearch:9200")
            print("Connected to Elasticsearch!", self.client.info())
        return self.client

Can anyone tell me what the problem is ?

Hello! The problem here is the docker compose, Elasticsearch is exposed on port 9200, so mapping internal port 8000 to external 8000 does nothing in this case, ports should be "9200:9200".

What happens if you open to http://localhost:9200 in your web browser while the docker compose containers are up?
