I'm seeing the same issue trying to connect to an Elasticsearch 7.2 server. It appears that the latest versions of the base elastalert package require Python3; I was able to update the build container to use python3, but it appears that the Node project has dependencies on python2:

gyp ERR! find Python checking if "python" can be used
gyp ERR! find Python - executable path is "/usr/bin/python"
gyp ERR! find Python - version is "3.6.8"
gyp ERR! find Python - version is 3.6.8 - should be >=2.6.0 <3.0.0
gyp ERR! find Python - THIS VERSION OF PYTHON IS NOT SUPPORTED
gyp ERR! find Python checking if "python2" can be used
gyp ERR! find Python - "python2" is not in PATH or produced an error

I have an updated PR in #122 which appears to fix this.
