Hello!  
I have a single-node cluster with the "discovery.type: single node" setup, and I want to turn it into a multi-node cluster.  
Could you give me some advice to make this conversion in the best way?

I'm using Elasticsearch 7.11.2  
Thank you! 😃

Drop the `discovery.type: single-node` setting and then you should be able to follow the [guidance on adding nodes in the docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/add-elasticsearch-nodes.html#add-elasticsearch-nodes).
