Situation: I have a Linux system and creating a cluster of 3 nodes inside of docker but it is not working fluently Looking for help, **Target** is to get 3 nodes running and I have access to elasticsearch.yml of individual yml of those 3 nodes. Task: I want to **create 3 nodes** in a cluster and I have successfully created it as well but now I wish to tweak the cluster created so my approach was to update the **elasticsearch.yml** file for the same however I followed a steps, I have not met my requirements. I did not know how to do it so followed a few steps, **Please help** Action : I tried the followign commands in order `sudo docker build --tag=elasticsearch-custom` `docker build --tag=elasticsearch-custom` [build log](https://gist.github.com/anmol27katyani/d57b2d8d0753586e2b328f592841fb0f) [docker.compose.yml](https://gist.github.com/anmol27katyani/b2fb3cadf2f25620cfbb1d403bf4726c) ---
