Hi everyone,

i have elasticsearch installed locally in a VM with version 7.17.8. By calling [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200) in the browser i get the information like cluster\_name, cluster\_uuid etc.  
In elasticsearch.yml i have entered the cluster.name from the call to [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200) and network.host 127.0.0.1.

I would like to integrate elasticsearch into a wiki program. The program i am using is wiki.js ([https://js.wiki/](https://js.wiki/)).

The wiki.js is also installed on the same VM. In the config i have the possibility to set up the search engine. But only with the configs ([Elasticsearch | Wiki.js](https://docs.requarks.io/search/elasticsearch)) I unfortunately don't get further. Only with these settings i get the following error message in the frontend search: An unexpected error occurred.

It would be great if someone can help.
