I just wanted to give back to the community as it took me quite a few hours to get to this point of a custom Kibana running in Docker that can be redeployed with out loosing your changes..  
1st copy your files from the running docker onto the host that you will be customizing. I have my system in AWS and my host has a mounted EFS drive that is shared among all my instances.

```auto
docker cp containerid:/usr/share/kibana/plugins/x-pack/plugins/security/public/views/login/login.less /efs/kibana/login.less 
docker cp containerid:/usr/share/kibana/src/ui/public/chrome/directives/global_nav/global_nav_link/global_nav_link.less /efs/kibana/global_nav_link.less
docker cp containerid:/usr/share/kibana/src/ui/public/chrome/directives/global_nav/global_nav.less /efs/kibana/global_nav.less
docker cp containerid:/usr/share/kibana/src/ui/views/chrome.jade /efs/kibana/chrome.jade

```

There are many other posts on how to customize the colors from these files.

Here is my docker-compose

```auto

```

As you can see I also have a plugin that brought into the containers but the files are on the host..  
Hope this helps others out. It took alot of googling to put this all together.
