Hi there, only posting because I've really tried reading all documentation and googling, but found no solution. I've gotten a docker-compose consisting of 3 ES nodes, kibana, enterprise search, a React front-end (Elastic's Search UI), and traefik going on a GCP VM. Everything seems to be up and running (enterprise search connects to ES, kibana connects to ES, etc.), but my front-end cannot fetch from enterprise search, and I cannot access the enterprise search, whether it's through :3002, or from [enterprise.domain.com](http://enterprise.domain.com). I got it up and running locally before installing it on a VM and slapping on traefik, so am wondering if I have missed something. I've posted my docker-compose.yml below. Thanks very much in advance! ```auto version: '2.2' services: es01: image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.13.0 container_name: es01 environment: - node.name=es01 - cluster.name=es-docker-cluster - discovery.seed_hosts=es02,es03 - cluster.initial_master_nodes=es01,es02,es03 - bootstrap.memory_lock=true - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m" ulimits: memlock: soft: -1 hard: -1 volumes: - data01:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data ports: - 9200:9200 networks: - elastic es02: image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.13.0 container_name: es02 environment: - node.name=es02 - cluster.name=es-docker-cluster - discovery.seed_hosts=es01,es03 - cluster.initial_master_nodes=es01,es02,es03 - bootstrap.memory_lock=true - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m" ulimits: memlock: soft: -1 hard: -1 volumes: - data02:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data networks: - elastic es03: image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.13.0 container_name: es03 environment: - node.name=es03 - cluster.name=es-docker-cluster - discovery.seed_hosts=es01,es02 - cluster.initial_master_nodes=es01,es02,es03 - bootstrap.memory_lock=true - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m" ulimits: memlock: soft: -1 hard: -1 volumes: - data03:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data networks: - elastic kib01: image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:7.13.0 container_name: kib01 ports: - 5601:5601 environment: ELASTICSEARCH_URL: http://es01:9200 ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS: '["http://es01:9200","http://es02:9200","http://es03:9200"]' networks: - elastic enterprise: image: docker.elastic.co/enterprise-search/enterprise-search:7.13.0 container_name: enterprise environment: - elasticsearch.host=http://es01:9200 - elasticsearch.username=[username] - elasticsearch.password=[password] - allow_es_settings_modification=true - secret_management.encryption_keys=[keys] - ent_search.external_url=http://[VM IP]:3002 - kibana.external_url=http://kib01:5601 - log_level=debug ports: - 3002:3002 networks: - elastic - frontend labels: - "traefik.http.routers.enterprise.rule=Host(`enterprise.domain.com`)" frontend: container_name: frontend # image: elephant:prod build: context: ./searchui dockerfile: Dockerfile.prod tty: true volumes: - '.:/app' - '/app/node_modules' environment: - CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=true networks: - frontend labels: - "traefik.http.routers.elephant.rule=Host(`frontend.domain.com`)" - "traefik.http.routers.elephant.tls.certresolver=le" - "traefik.http.routers.elephant.tls=true" reverse-proxy: container_name: traefik # The official v2 Traefik docker image image: traefik:2.4 # Enables the web UI and tells Traefik to listen to docker command: - --providers.docker=true - --entrypoints.web.address=:80 - --entrypoints.web-secure.address=:443 - --certificatesresolvers.le.acme.email=user@email.com - --certificatesresolvers.le.acme.storage=/acme.json - --certificatesresolvers.le.acme.tlschallenge=true ports: # The HTTP port - "80:80" - "443:443" volumes: # So that Traefik can listen to the Docker events - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock networks: - frontend volumes: data01: driver: local data02: driver: local data03: driver: local networks: frontend: elastic: driver: bridge ``` ---

Hi kristang91 - Are you able to log in via your browser directly to your Enterprise Search instance at `http://[VM IP]:3002` ? If not, then one possible thing to check is to ensure that Enterprise Search is bound to the correct IP address in the VM's interfaces. This can be done via the `ent_search.listen_host` configuration. For example: ```auto - ent_search.listen_host=[VM IP] ``` ---

Hi Mark, thank you so much for the help. I wasn't able to log in via that address. I tried your suggestion. It didn't fix it, but inspired me to mess around with a bunch of things, including setting the host to 0.0.0.0 (since it's on a Docker internal network), and changing the TLS settings (given that Traefik negotiated SSL certs for the domains, and the frontend needs to fetch using https): ```auto - ent_search.external_url=https://enterprise.domain.com:443 - ent_search.listen_host=0.0.0.0 - ent_search.listen_port=443 - ent_search.ssl.redirect_http_from_port=80 ``` I now get a 404 from Traefik - so I think there's a problem with Traefik that I now need to fix. Will update if I fix that. ---
