I successfully installed elasticsearch and kibana on docker, but when I try to connect kibana with elastic I get a red status with the following errors:

**ui settings Elasticsearch plugin is red**  
**plugin:elasticsearch@5.1.1 Authentication Exception**

I'm not sure but I think the problem is kibana doesn't pass elastic x-pack authentication.  
Now, I'm trying to disable this authentication via elastic yml file, according to the instructions [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html#docker-prod-cluster-composefile),  
but I cant find yml anywhere (I searched /usr/share/elasticsearch but I can't find either `config` directory or `elasticsearch.yml` file).

How do I config elastic with docker?
