Welcome to our community! 😃 Can you copy it from another node? ---

You can create a new keystore with `elasticsearch-keystore create` But if you want to populate it with the settings that were previously in it, then you'll need to get your hands on a backup copy (e.g. from another node as @warkolm suggests). ---
