We're using the docker container with docker-compose, here's our configuration. Is there something I'm missing here?

```auto
  ln_elasticsearch:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.1
    container_name: ln_elasticsearch
    environment:
      - discovery.type=single-node
    volumes:
      - esdata1:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
    ports:
      - 9200:9200

```

```auto
ln_elasticsearch | [2018-02-08T21:34:51,958][WARN][o.e.x.m.e.l.LocalExporter] unexpected error while indexing monitoring document
ln_elasticsearch | org.elasticsearch.xpack.monitoring.exporter.ExportException: ClusterBlockException[blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)];]

```

You don't have enough disk space available.  
If it's not for production, then you can add the following to your `environment`:

```auto
- cluster.routing.allocation.disk.threshold_enabled=false

```

But `32.2mb` sounds very low free disk space...

Thanks that's helpful! Can you think of a reason why the container would be running out of space like that?

Nope. I guess it's a Docker configuration issue may be?
