What is going on wrong here? I have installed docker and kitematics but have since removed them. Was it because of that?

Can you check the error logs for your Elasticsearch cluster? Maybe there are more details in there.

There is a similar error here: [FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)]](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/forbidden-12-index-read-only-allow-delete-api/110282/5)

Maybe the solution is in there.
