Hi Team, I am working on containerizing existing elastic cluster and I am planning to have setup like 2 server with multiple containers of elasticsearch & kibana within those servers using docker. I am attaching design & compose files ( for server1 & server2) for creating different types of nodes and settings. So far I am able to create a 5 containers on server1 (being one for kibana) and I am trying to add few more nodes (as containers) to the existing cluster from different server. I am getting below error during adding of node ( from server2) . Note: On server1 HOST = HOSTA, HOST2=HOSTB On Server2 HOST=HOSTB, HOST2=HOSTA Below are my docker-compose file snippets Server-1: services: ess\_elasticsearch1: container\_name: ess\_elasticsearch1 environment: - cluster.name="ess\_elasticsearch\_cluster" - bootstrap.memory\_lock=true - "ES\_JAVA\_OPTS=-Xms2g -Xmx2g" - "node.name=ess\_elasticsearch1\_${HOST}" - "network.bind\_host=0.0.0.0" - "network.publish\_host=${HOST}" - "discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts=${HOST}:9300, ${HOST}:9320, ${HOST}:9330, ${HOST}:9340" - "transport.host=${HOST}" - "transport.tcp.port=9300" - "index.number\_of\_shards: 5" - "index.number\_of\_replicas: 1" - "node.master=true" - "node.data=false" - "node.ingest=true" image: "[docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4)" ports: - "9200:9200" - "9300:9300" ulimits: memlock: hard: -1 soft: -1 volumes: - "/usr/share/elasticsearch/data:/home/mwciuser/mw\_modernization/elastic/data" network\_mode: host ess\_elasticsearch2: container\_name: ess\_elasticsearch2 environment: - cluster.name="ess\_elasticsearch\_cluster" - bootstrap.memory\_lock=true - "ES\_JAVA\_OPTS=-Xms2g -Xmx2g" - "ES\_CONNECT\_RETRY=30" - "node.name=ess\_elasticsearch2\_${HOST}" - "network.bind\_host=0.0.0.0" - "network.publish\_host=${HOST}" - "discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts=${HOST}:9300, ${HOST}:9320, ${HOST}:9330, ${HOST}:9340" - "transport.host=${HOST}" - "transport.tcp.port=9320" - "node.master=false" - "node.data=true" - "node.ingest=false" image: "[docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4)" ports: - "9200:9220" - "9300:9320" ulimits: memlock: hard: -1 soft: -1 volumes: - "/usr/share/elasticsearch/data:/home/mwciuser/mw\_modernization/elastic/data" network\_mode: host Server-2 services: ess\_elasticsearch3: container\_name: ess\_elasticsearch3 environment: - cluster.name="ess\_elasticsearch\_cluster" - bootstrap.memory\_lock=true - "ES\_JAVA\_OPTS=-Xms2g -Xmx2g" - "ES\_CONNECT\_RETRY=60" - "node.name=ess\_elasticsearch3\_${HOST}" - "network.bind\_host=0.0.0.0" - "network.publish\_host=${HOST}" - "discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts=${HOST2}:9300, ${HOST2}:9320, ${HOST2}:9330, ${HOST2}:9340" - "transport.host=${HOST}" - "transport.tcp.port=9330" - "node.master=true" - "node.data=false" - "node.ingest=true" image: "[docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4)" ports: - "9200:9230" - "9300:9330" ulimits: memlock: hard: -1 soft: -1 volumes: - "/usr/share/elasticsearch/data:/home/mwciuser/mw\_modernization/elastic/data" network\_mode: host version: "2.2" I was able to add 4 elasticsearch nodes of all containers sitting on same server, when I am trying to add 5th node from different server I am getting below error, Please see if anyone can help me on this?

I have gone through some of the issues available and tried setting like elasticsearch\_network\_host, - "transport.type=netty3" also but they did not help me ---
