Hello together, im trying to setup Elasticsearch for 10 hour now, i tried any tips i found on different sites and Forums, but noone could heklp me.
I am following the instruction exactly as they are written on the main site:
[Install Elasticsearch with .zip on Windows | Elasticsearch Guide [8.4] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/zip-windows.html)
Everything works fine until the point where i test if my elasticsearch node is running:
`curl --cacert %ES_HOME%\config\certs\http_ca.crt -u elastic https://localhost:9200 `
After this i am asked to the enter the previously created password. When i do so i get the following error Message: `url: (77) schannel: failed to open CA file '%ES_HOME%\config\certs\http_ca.crt': Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden.`
After trying for quite a while, i got a tip to use Elasticsearch with Docker, so i followed this guide:
[Run Elasticsearch locally | Elasticsearch Guide [8.4] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/run-elasticsearch-locally.html)
Again everything works fine until the Kibana part. So i get an url wich i need to type into my browser and then enter the Token into Kibana. But with typing the url i again cant reach any site.
Iam very happy for every bits of help, i dont know what to do anymore.
Thank you in advance.

Additional Info, after following the Docker Guide for Elasticsearch, i am able to open Kibana. And after Entering the genereated Token and Kibana Verification Number, i am forwared to Elastic Search and prompted to enter Username and password. After doing so i can reach Kibana.
But localhost:9200 and any variations with http or https do not reach the elasticserach cluster

Did you expose the container ports? What does your docker file look like?
