Hello all, this is more of a Docker-related question that Beats, but I thought I would see if anyone else tried to do this. I want my beats image to be as close to the official image as possible, but I want to have all of the beats in a single image. One way is to modify the dockerfile template and do all of the same steps but for all of the beats. But I was wondering if there is some way to perform a multi-stage docker build using multiple FROM statements (pulling from [docker.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat:6.4.2](http://docker.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat:6.4.2), etc). But when I do this it seems to overwrite what is i the /usr/share directory and whichever is the last FROM statement is the only beat that actually exists in the /user/share dir. Again, I know this is more docker-specific than beat-specific, but I thought I would just see if anyone else has tackled this before I dive in and make my own custom image combining all of them. ---
