unable to connect to local elasticsearch cluster

[armorKing11]

Hi , i am trying to connect to my local elastic search cluster running in docker containers , but i am getting back the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/root/.local/share/virtualenvs/app-4PlAip0Q/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sanic/app.py", line 973, in handle_request
    response = await response

elasticsearch.exceptions.ConnectionError: ConnectionError(Cannot connect to host localhost:9200 ssl:default [Connection refused]) caused by: ClientConnectorError(Cannot connect to host localhost:9200 ssl:default [Connection refused]

elastic search cluster consists of 2 nodes , but i am trying to connect to only 1 node ,ie, localhost:9200
elastic node1 version details:

"version" : {
    "number" : "7.10.1",
    "build_flavor" : "default",
    "build_type" : "docker",
    "build_date" : "2020-12-05T01:00:33.671820Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "8.7.0",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "6.8.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "6.0.0-beta1"
  },

In my elasticsearch.yml , i have the following config

cluster.name: "docker-cluster"
network.host: 0.0.0.0
http.cors.enabled : true
http.cors.allow-origin: "*"
http.cors.allow-methods : OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
http.cors.allow-headers : "X-Requested-With,X-Auth-Token,Content-Type, Content-Length, Authorization"
# License
xpack.license.self_generated.type: basic
# Monitoring
xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled: true

and my cluster.json file is

{
  "params": {
	"hosts": ["http://localhost:9200"]
   },
   "name": "docker-cluster"
}

Since i am doing just local testing , i dont have any ssl setup .
So is the issue cos the client( my elasticsearch server node) is attempting to connect with ssl enabled from this line ?
caused by: ClientConnectorError(Cannot connect to host localhost:9200 ssl:default [Connection refused]

I'm also seeing this issue. Is there an alternative configuration I need to use to get this working locally?
