Summary of the issue you are facing:
Within nextcloud container, it can communicate with elasticsearch container.

And I aslo setup tcpdump in elasticsearch container, and it could capture TCP traffic and generate dump file when I ran curl -v http://elasticsearch:9200 in nextcloud container. But tcpdump didn’t trigger to capture the traffic and log the dump file when I ran php occ fulltextsearch:test -vvv in nextcloud container.
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
-
Deploy the latest nextcloud docker image
-
Deploy elasticsearch official image with version 8.1.x, or 8.6.1, or 7.1.x
-
Install apps of Full text search, Full text search - files, Full text search - elasticsearch
-
Configure the full text search in the admin web ui
Log entries
Nextcloud
Checked the log, there is no log entry for full text search app.
Configuration
Nextcloud
The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):
