Hi all, I have problems to configure access to elasticsearch 7 from other machine. I made the same changes like elasticsearch 6.5 (and worked perfect) to access from outside but when I uncomment the "network.host: 0.0.0.0" the process try to start and in a few seconds going down. I attach the log:

You are failing on [bootstrap checks](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.0/bootstrap-checks.html):

```auto
[2019-03-15T01:56:48,246][ERROR][o.e.b.Bootstrap] [node-1] node validation exception
[1] bootstrap checks failed
[1]: the default discovery settings are unsuitable for production use; at least one of [discovery.seed_hosts, discovery.seed_providers, cluster.initial_master_nodes] must be configured

```

The [cluster coordination algorithm has changed in 7.0](https://www.elastic.co/blog/a-new-era-for-cluster-coordination-in-elasticsearch) and in order to be _safe_ it requires some specific configuration. We relax that requirement (that is, we run in a less-safe mode) when you bind to `localhost` only, but if/when you change `network.host` we enforce that your configure the cluster safely.

This is [covered in the breaking changes documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.0/breaking-changes-7.0.html#breaking_70_discovery_changes) for 7.0

Thanks Tim, I built a test machine with this new version. But to test same interesting new features, I need some cookbook to resolve this config.

The resolution is in the error message:

> [@Alejandro\_Bartolomeo](#):
>
> `at least one of [discovery.seed_hosts, discovery.seed_providers, cluster.initial_master_nodes] must be configured`

In this case, I think it's enough to set `discovery.seed_hosts: []`.
