I'm having trouble setting up 3+ nodes Elasticsearch cluster on Windows Server 2016. I was wondering if anyone has done this in the past and wondering if you could share your solution?

I trying to use docker and creating a docker-compose is failing do to Windows containers not finding the network plugin... it's a known issue thou ☹

Also, I think Windows containers doesn't like to use Linux based container images...

I looked for a docker version I could install on Windows server 2016, but always found reference pointing back in installing the Windows container
