my elastichead is not connecting even when my elasticsearch container is running. I can't understand the problem.

(env) C:\Users\shubh\Desktop\react-django\emt_api\emt_assets>docker ps -a

CONTAINER ID IMAGE
COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 117ba87ad874 mdillon/postgis:11
"docker-entrypoint.s…" 9 hours ago Up 4 hours
0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp postgres 70b6527e1046 docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.8.8
"/usr/local/bin/dock…" 9 hours ago Up 5 hours
0.0.0.0:9200->9200/tcp, 9300/tcp elasticsearch

but after running elastichead head there is still no connection. my system is windows 10 home edition.

i was working with the docker toolbox which includes oracle virtual box. There you can see your docker machine settings. just stop your docker machine with command in docker quickstart terminal

docker-machine stop <docker-machine name>

Then in your oracle virtual box..go to System>Advanced> Increase the memory to 4gb(4096mb) And start docker-machine with command in docker quickstart terminal

docker-machine start <docker-machine name>

and work with your container.
