Brew services starts elasticsearch as root

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I've installed Elasticsearch with

brew tap elastic/tap
brew install elastic/tap/elasticsearch-full

And it seems the brew service for it wants to run as root and so Elasticsearch fails to start

╰─ brew services

Please report this issue to the elastic/tap tap (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core):

How do I make brew services not start it as root?
