Hi @jhmariscal

No actually we are not saying that should work... :slight_smile:

See Here and Here

These are important concepts please take a look and read

You are most likely getting this error

[2019-08-30T09:16:07,451][INFO ][o.e.b.BootstrapChecks    ] [ceres] bound or publishing to a non-loopback address, enforcing bootstrap checks

You can add discovery.type: single-node which you can read about here and that should let you start the node.

These are important checks as this is to make sure people are making conscious decisions about making Elasticsearch network addressable especially if they have not implemented any security... things to think about.

When you attach to 0.0.0.0 anyone that knows the endpoint can now access that instance and the data within it... until you secure it... in addition if this were part of a cluster it would need to know how to discover other nodes etc.
