Hi, can you provide the end of the Elasticsearch log ?

Something like :
tail -f /var/log/elasticsearch/your_cluster_name.log

on tail -f /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log

I seems that there is something wrong in your configuration file, lool at /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

check transport.tcp.port or http.port

I try to do some settings for nginx from then it's stop working btw

localhost is not a valid port number for the http.port setting. Comment this out to use the default 9200 port.

Your error :
http.port = localhost

set:
http.port: 9200
