Description

Going through the excellent tutorial, but getting stuck after running the elasticsearch container. I can't connect to it: PS C:\Users\gordo\docker\FoodTrucks> docker run -d --name es -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.3.2 447a42fa057a742df9c143a15f937385511544e8ce8f94873ae7cc1a445c8f34

PS C:\Users\gordo\docker\FoodTrucks> curl 0.0.0.0:9200 curl : Unable to connect to the remote server At line:1 char:1

  • curl 0.0.0.0:9200
  •   + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebException

Research direction
The issue is that a Windows user cannot connect to an Elasticsearch container using 0.0.0.0:9200. On Windows, Docker containers run in a VM, and 0.0.0.0 may not map correctly. Suggest trying localhost instead of 0.0.0.0, or checking Docker Desktop settings. Also verify that the container is running with `docker ps`. The fix is likely a simple configuration change.
