Details

The default configuration is set up for localhost access on port 9200, with no username or password.

connect and connection no longer ping the Elasticsearch server, but only print your connection details.

Internally, we store your connection settings with environment variables. That means you can set your env vars permanently in .Renviron file, and use them on a server e.g., as private env vars
