Hi folks, just started my experence with ES - one challenge I now have:  
Elasticsearch working on localhost - when editing elasticsearch.yml and adding my ip address of the vm (VirtualBox) - elasticsearch is not starting anymore.

elasticsearch.yml:

> Blockquote

# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------

# 

# By default Elasticsearch is only accessible on localhost. Set a different

# address here to expose this node on the network:

# 

#network.bind\_host: AlmaLinux.fritz.box  
network.host: 0.0.0.0

# 

# By default Elasticsearch listens for HTTP traffic on the first free port it

# finds starting at 9200. Set a specific HTTP port here:

# 

#http.port: 9200

# 

# For more information, consult the network module documentation.

# 

# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------

# 

# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:

# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]

# 

discovery.seed\_hosts: ["0.0.0.0", "192.168.2.250"]

# 

# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:

# 

#cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]

#
