Hi,

A few days ago, i installed elasticsearch.

it is working well with localhost:9200 with curl command
showing as -
{
"name" : "2Ui6lx9",
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"cluster_uuid" : "kBm0cR_tTmG3vl3R4sd2eg",
"version" : {
"number" : "6.4.2",
"build_flavor" : "default",
"build_type" : "rpm",
"build_hash" : "04711c2",
"build_date" : "2018-09-26T13:34:09.098244Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "7.4.0",
"minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "5.6.0",
"minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

but when i am using it via http://my-domain.com:9200 then it is not working.

How to expose the same service with http://my-domain:9200 ?

Thank You !

Have you setup DNS to point my-domain.com to the Elasticsearch host?

Be careful and do not expose your Elasticsearch cluster to the internet without securing it first.

Who is going to access the cluster? What is the use case?

This guide shows how to secure Elasticsearch using the commercial security features. If you have a small use-case, the easiest way to get access to this is by using our hosted Elasticsearch Service.

You can also enable a password for the HTTP protocol by making Elasticsearch bind to the loopback interface and introduce a reverse proxy to handle authentication. It is however usually hard to handle anything but authentication this way.
