Description
Hi,
because fulltextsearch was only working for the user "ncadmin" I uninstalled it:
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove elasticsearch
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/elasticsearch/
sudo rm -rf /etc/elasticsearch
And did a new installation:
https://github.com/nextcloud/vm/tree/master/apps/fulltextsearch.sh
But I got the error "no alive nodes found in your cluster".


Here is the log:

What to do?
Thanks for any help!

Research direction
Start with apps/fulltextsearch.sh and the linked log, then trace the reinstall path around the reported “no alive nodes found in your cluster” error. Check whether the failure can be reproduced after the listed purge and removal steps. Done means a clean reinstallation connects successfully to a live Elasticsearch node.
