Docker + elasticsearch always return "no alive nodes found in your cluster" when I attempt to create-index

Question

I am trying to setup docker for an already existing laravel project. As you guys know Laravel Scout provides a simple, driver based solution for adding full-text search to our Eloquent models, I use it in my own project. I use laradock and install elasticsearch as a driver for scout. However, when I attempt to create index php artisan elastic:create-index App\\MyIndexConfigurator (or even scout import command) it has this error No alive nodes found in your cluster.

The strange thing is, if I got to http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health, it looks fine:

`{
  cluster_name: "laradock-cluster",
  status: "green",
  timed_out: false,
  number_of_nodes: 1,
  number_of_data_nodes: 1,
  active_primary_shards: 0,
  active_shards: 0,
  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
}`

It is my scout_elastic config:

return [
    'client' => [
        'hosts' => [
            env('SCOUT_ELASTIC_HOST', 'localhost:9200'),
        ],
    ],
    'update_mapping' => env('SCOUT_ELASTIC_UPDATE_MAPPING', true),
    'indexer' => env('SCOUT_ELASTIC_INDEXER', 'single'),
    'document_refresh' => env('SCOUT_ELASTIC_DOCUMENT_REFRESH'),
];

and here it is my docker-compose.yml:

curl -XGET http://elasticsearch:9200/_cluster/health :

Try to change hosts definition in config to env('SCOUT_ELASTIC_HOST', 'elasticsearch:9200') Your Laravel app is runned inside container, and localhost is address of this container, not your host machine. — maximkou
tnx for your reply @maximkou, I use elasticsearch:9200 and even host.docker.internal:9200 as internal host none of them aren't worked... — k90mirzaei
Do you run create-index from your host machine or from docker container? You must call this from container and use elasticsearch:9200 inside your app config. — maximkou
I actually just run ../laradock>docker-compose exec workspace bash and then create-index — k90mirzaei
Thanks, can you run artisan config:clear before calling create-index (maybe your configs is cached and app requests old host)? — maximkou

You need to change SCOUT_ELASTIC_HOST

It should be SCOUT_ELASTIC_HOST=http://elasticsearch:9200 Not http://localhost:9200

Docker + elasticsearch always return "no alive nodes found in your cluster" when I attempt to create-index
