Hmmm. I think I understand.

The endpoint should be set as a setting in `elasticsearch.yml` according to [S3 repository plugin | Elasticsearch Plugins and Integrations [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-s3-client.html)

> The client used to connect to S3 has a number of settings available. Client setting names are of the form `s3.client.CLIENT_NAME.SETTING_NAME` and specified inside `elasticsearch.yml`.

So add this:

```auto
s3.client.default.endpoint: s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com

```

And restart all nodes.

And remove it from the s3 repository definition:

```auto
PUT /_snapshot/s3
{
  "type": "s3",
    "settings": {
      "bucket": "liv-elasticsearch",
      "compress": "true",
      "max_retries": 3
    }
}

```

There is no `endpoint` in repository settings: [S3 repository plugin | Elasticsearch Plugins and Integrations [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-s3-repository.html)
