I am trying to start filebeat using docker compose. but i am facing this error
> /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint: line 8: exec: filebeat: not found
This is my docker-compose
```auto
filebeat:
image: docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:7.9.0
user: ${CURRENT_UID}
restart: always
volumes:
- ./filebeat.yml:/usr/share/filebeat/filebeat.yml
- ./filebeat:/usr/share/filebeat/data
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
# This is needed for filebeat to load container log path as specified in filebeat.yml
- /var/lib/docker/containers/:/var/lib/docker/containers/:ro
- /var/log/filebeat-logs:/var/lib/filebeat-logs
# disable strict permission checks
command: ["--strict.perms=false"]
```
When i run it as root it works, but for certain reasons i can't run it as root
