I'm trying to use Elasticsearch on Nitrous.io.
I'm following this tutorial but when trying to reindex the model I get this error

I'm not sure I've installed Elasticsearch on Nitrous.io properly. Has anyone managed to do this successfully? Or can you point to a guide for how to implement this?
I haven't tried nitrous.io, but you'll need to tell Searchkick where to find Elasticsearch.
Create an initializer config/initializers/elasticsearch.rb with:
ENV["ELASTICSEARCH_URL"] = "http://username:password@hostname"
You could also use a hosted version like Searchly.
