I have an existing Elasticsearch server in Ubuntu, for the purpose of better performance I want to add one more node in the Cluster. Can I do it with docker by not changing the existing system?  
I have tried it with docker-compose file as follows:

##########################  
version: '2.2'  
services:  
elasticsearch:  
image: [docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.2.0](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.2.0)  
container\_name: elasticsearch  
environment:  
- "cluster.name=elasticsearch"  
- "node.name=slave-node1"  
- "node.master=false"  
- "node.data=true"  
- "network.host=192.168.2.20"  
- "Des.network.publish\_host=192.168.2.20"  
- "network.bind\_host=192.168.2.20"  
- "bootstrap.memory\_lock=true"  
- "http.cors.enabled=true"  
- "http.cors.allow-origin=\*"  
- "ES\_JAVA\_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m"  
- "Des.discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts=192.168.2.10, 192.168.2.20"  
- "cluster.initial\_master\_nodes=master-node"  
- "Des.discovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes:2"  
- "transport.tcp.port:9300"

```
networks:
  - esnet
ports:
  - '9200:9200'
  - '9300:9300'
ulimits:
  memlock:
    soft: -1
    hard: -1
volumes:
  - esdata:/var/lib/elasticsearch

```

volumes:  
esdata:  
driver: local

networks:  
esnet:

But getting the error:
