Welcome to our community! 😃

What version are you on? Are you using docker? Is your cluster exposed to the internet?

Are you using Security to control access to your cluster?  
Are you using persistent volumes for the container?

Do you have access control setup on your cluster, or is it just exposed to the internet?

You normally define a persistent volume in your docker file, or the command you run to start the container. Otherwise any data that is stored in the container will be lost if it is stopped.

[https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-make-a-dockerfile-for-elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-make-a-dockerfile-for-elasticsearch) is old but still uses the same approach.

Otherwise `Elasticsearch dockerfile persistent volume` on your favourtie search engine will return something.
