access external service such as Localstack and Elasticsearch

You're trying to access localstack with the hostname test.localstack
Does it work if you use the hostname localstack as per the container's name ?

Hey, I know this issue is old but since I think I know the answer I'll leave it here in case anyone else has this problem.

S3 has some problems with localstack because it likes to prepend the bucket name to the hostname. So in this case, the bucket name was probably 'test'. Now this host alias probably doesn't exist, so it fails.

The solution is to use the 's3ForcePathStyle: true,' option (pass it to the AWS.S3 constructor, for example). This stops it from mangling path names and S3 should now work as expected.
