I use elasticsearch in kubernetes.  
Use the certificate generated by kubernetes in pem format.

The problem is that this certificate path is out of elasticsearch/config.  
For example, I have a ca.crt file in /var/tls/ca.crt, and I have no idea how to move it into POD's elasticsearch/config path.

The init container method also failed because the elasticsearch path was already volume mounted.

I think there are many cases like me, is there a way to do it?

i use it. (elastic helm chart)

Hey!

It sounds like you have done most of the steps and are nearly there! Could you try following the [security example](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/blob/master/elasticsearch/README.md#security)? It also shows you how to mount the certificates under the `config/` directory.
