I am new to Elasticsearch and currently trying to setup a multi-node Elasticsearch cluster environment using docker in my local machine. When cluster comes up, it status is green (checked using "/\_cluster/health" api, however it has only one node in it whereas I am trying to create 3 nodes cluster. Below is the docker-compose.yml for the same. Note that in below docker-compose file, I am mapping the index volume to each node using unique directories and expecting that when 3 node cluster come sup, this index gets distributed across shards on multiple nodes. ````auto version: '3.3' services: elasticsearch01: image: dockerregistry.homeoffice.anfcorp.com/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.8.0 ports: - "9200:9200" environment: cluster.name: "docker-cluster" node.name: "elasticsearch01" discovery.seed_hosts: "elasticsearch02" network.host: 0.0.0.0 indices.query.bool.max_clause_count: 100000 transport.tcp.port: 9300 cluster.initial_master_nodes: "elasticsearch01,elasticsearch02" volumes: - ./volumes/elasticsearch01/data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data elasticsearch02: image: dockerregistry.homeoffice.anfcorp.com/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.8.0 ports: - "9201:9200" environment: cluster.name: "docker-cluster" node.name: "elasticsearch02" network.host: 0.0.0.0 indices.query.bool.max_clause_count: 100000 discovery.seed_hosts: "elasticsearch01" transport.tcp.port: 9300 cluster.initial_master_nodes: "elasticsearch01,elasticsearch02" volumes: - ./volumes/elasticsearch02/data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data elasticsearch03: image: dockerregistry.homeoffice.anfcorp.com/vendor/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.8.0 ports: - "9202:9200" environment: cluster.name: "docker-cluster" node.name: "elasticsearch03" network.host: 0.0.0.0 indices.query.bool.max_clause_count: 100000 discovery.seed_hosts: "elasticsearch01" transport.tcp.port: 9300 cluster.initial_master_nodes: "elasticsearch01,elasticsearch02" volumes: - ./volumes/elasticsearch03/data:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data ``` ```` ---

Welcome to our community! 😃 Take a look at [Install Elasticsearch with Docker | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.15/docker.html#docker-compose-file) as an example of this I would suggest that you not run 7.8 as it's [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol). ---

Hi warkolm I tried using the docker-compose file from the link you mentioned above. docker-compose.yml mentioned in here works as is and I can check cluster health using api which is green and it has 3 nodes on it. However, I see some errors when doing docker-compose up. Also when cluster comes up, it does not have my index on it (I have created data01, data02, data03 directories at the level of docker-compose.yml file and each of these directories have node directory in it which has the index I downloaded from another environment). I am expecting this index to be available when multi node cluster environment comes up. Using below APIs to check cluster health and query index - `http://0.0.0.0:9200/_cluster/health` Output ````auto "cluster_name": "es-docker-cluster", "status": "green", "timed_out": false, "number_of_nodes": 3, "number_of_data_nodes": 3, "active_primary_shards": 1, "active_shards": 2, "relocating_shards": 0, "initializing_shards": 0, "unassigned_shards": 0, "delayed_unassigned_shards": 0, "number_of_pending_tasks": 0, "number_of_in_flight_fetch": 0, "task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis": 0, "active_shards_percent_as_number": 100 }``` API to check index - `http://0.0.0.0:9200/_search` Output - ```` { "took": 4, "timed\_out": false, "\_shards": { "total": 0, "successful": 0, "skipped": 0, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": { "value": 0, "relation": "eq" }, "max\_score": 0, "hits": } } ```auto Error when doing docker-compose up ``` {"type": "server", "timestamp": "2021-10-27T13:46:40,794Z", "level": "WARN", "component": "o.e.c.s.MasterService", "cluster.name": "es-docker-cluster", "node.name": "es01", "message": "failing [elected-as-master ([2] nodes joined)[{es03}{KjTx5A\_VTRyRUHuDsc5HjA}{4\_LRIYm0RJChWNCcIfLZyA}{172.18.0.2}{172.18.0.2:9300}{cdfhilmrstw} elect leader, {es01}{FVWRNW9eQA2haHql0Vucvg}{eFMazF0QSrGbXMwxNeKc\_Q}{172.18.0.4}{172.18.0.4:9300}{cdfhilmrstw} elect leader, _BECOME\_MASTER\_TASK_, _FINISH\_ELECTION_]]: failed to commit cluster state version [1]", es01 | "stacktrace": ["org.Elasticsearch.cluster.coordination.FailedToCommitClusterStateException: node is no longer master for term 1 while handling publication", es01 | "at org.Elasticsearch.cluster.coordination.Coordinator.publish(Coordinator.java:1074) ~[Elasticsearch-7.15.1.jar:7.15.1]", es01 | "at org.Elasticsearch.cluster.service.MasterService.publish(MasterService.java:272) [Elasticsearch-7.15.1.jar:7.15.1]", es01 | "at org.Elasticsearch.cluster.service.MasterService.runTasks(MasterService.java:254) [Elasticsearch-7.15.1.jar:7.15.1]", es01 | "at org.Elasticsearch.cluster.service.MasterService.access$000(MasterService.java:63) [Elasticsearch-7.15.1.jar:7.15.1]", es01 | "at org.Elasticsearch.cluster.service.MasterService$Batcher.run(MasterService.java:155) [Elasticsearch-7.15.1.jar:7.15.1]", es01 | "at org.Elasticsearch.cluster.service.TaskBatcher.runIfNotProcessed(TaskBatcher.java:139) [Elasticsearch-7.15.1.jar:7.15.1]", es01 | "at org.Elasticsearch.cluster.service.TaskBatcher$BatchedTask.run(TaskBatcher.java:177) [Elasticsearch-7.15.1.jar:7.15.1]", es01 | "at org.Elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.ThreadContext$ContextPreservingRunnable.run(ThreadContext.java:678) [Elasticsearch-7.15.1.jar:7.15.1]", es01 | "at org.Elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor$TieBreakingPrioritizedRunnable.runAndClean(PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor.java:259) [Elasticsearch-7.15.1.jar:7.15.1]", es01 | "at org.Elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor$TieBreakingPrioritizedRunnable.run(PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor.java:222) [Elasticsearch-7.15.1.jar:7.15.1]", es01 | "at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1136) [?:?]", es01 | "at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:635) [?:?]", es01 | "at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:833) [?:?]"] } ```auto ``` ---
