Hey, I have ES 7.15.2 running in docker, and I want to upgrade it to 7.16.2. How can I do that?  
The only solution I can see is this [Rolling upgrades](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rolling-upgrades.html) but I believe it does not work in Docker.

How are you running the container?

Usually you'd update the version in the docker compose file (or whatever you use).
