Publicly accessible Elasticsearch 7.x

how to expose ElasticSearch on a VM globaly (public access)

or: How to access ElasticSearch 7.x installed on a VM from my laptop

note this is a terrible idea! don’t do this for production ES. This is only usefull for debugging or if you have strong firewall setup

Edit file /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml to values:

network.host: 0.0.0.0
network.bind_host: 0.0.0.0
network.publish_host: 0.0.0.0


discovery.seed_hosts: ["0.0.0.0", "[::0]"]

and restart elasticsearch sudo service elasticsearch stop + ... start
