i want to use elastic image such as elasticserhc, kibana and logstash. Do I need specify the CMD or COPY just sufficient? Can I use custom service name and image name or any format needed ```auto ARG Version FROM docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:$Version COPY ../configuration/elasticsearch.yml /usr/share/elasticsearch/configuration/ ``` I just try this but it is not working. It not copy the file. Please advice if i did anything wrong? ---
