Cannot pass config value via environment variables

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am configuring an ES cluster in a Kubernetes cluster, so I am using docker image for ES 5.2.0 from dockerhub. I am passing configuration values via environment variables (using values I have seen in serveral samples I found), however when an instance of ES comes online it looks to be in a default configuration.

I can log into the container and confirm that env variables are set, however looks they are not picked up.

For example I set CLUSTER_NAME to "TEST", and can confirm that container gets the value

/usr/share/elasticsearch# echo $CLUSTER_NAME
TEST

When I navigate to ES I see that "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch"

I have tried lowercase name for env variables, with same results.

What is the proper way to pass params to docker image, and make sure that ES instance picks them up?

Thank you
