elastichead is not connecting with elasticsearch docker container

Question

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

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.
