Why am I getting this error in my Mac with Elasticsearch 8.5.1 running in Docker and Jupyter notebook is supposed to communicate with Elasticsearch through port 9200?

```auto
The client is unable to verify that the server is Elasticsearch due to security privileges on the server side

```

Can you curl Elasticsearch successfully?

Yes, I can:

```auto
% curl --cacert http_ca.crt -u elastic https://localhost:9200
Enter host password for user 'elastic':

From where are you running your Jupyter notebook?

If you are using `localhost`, it needs to be running from the same container that Elasticsearch is running.

Thank you for the additional information! Is there any sample of docker-compose file to combine elasticsearch and jupyter in a single docker?
