Hi

I am trying to figure out ways to install Elastic Stack for our staging environment using Docker.  
I have installed Elastic stack with out docker on linux vm and its working fine.

I want to setup a 3 node ES cluster on Linux VM. The documentation provided is only for two node installation using docker compose.

How can I manage data of ES using docker volumes. I want to store the data on an attached mount as I will not have enough space on the vm.

Is it a good idea to install ES stack using docker on a physical machines. If yes can you please guide me.
