Elasticsearch 6.0 on ubuntu 16.04 will only start if network.host is set to 192.168.0.1 and not the actual IP address bound to the adaptor or hostname in hosts file

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I figured this out. I had to set the machine to run in single-node mode and then I had to set the parameters in the elasticsearch.yml to bind the IP address to the network.host
discovery.type: single-node
network.host: 10.0.2.15
