----------------docker-compose.yml-------------------
I have tried giving permission to the snapshot directory with this command for 'mlyedge', 'root', '1000' users but none of this seem to be resolving the issue.

sudo chown -R mlyedge:mlyedge /Users/mlyedge/gitrepos/search-query-service/compose/volumes/ESnapshot

sudo chown -R root:root /Users/mlyedge/gitrepos/search-query-service/compose/volumes/ESnapshot

sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /Users/mlyedge/gitrepos/search-query-service/compose/volumes/ESnapshot

I think that perhaps the issue is that you set the path.repo to a filesystem / path that is on your host not inside the docker container so docker knows nothing about it... I think you are going to need to mount or bind that for the docker container as well I believe.

I am not the docker expert on mounting storage but perhaps look here
