Hi, Is there any way to use " **elasticsearch-setup-passwords**" command in docker-compose to define build-in users and password? I don't wanna exec elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive command manually on every container. some kind of importing users and password into container.  
Thanx

Here is how I'm setting that with docker compose ( `docker-compose.yml`):

```auto
---
version: '3'
services:

  elasticsearch:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:$ELASTIC_VERSION
    environment:
      - bootstrap.memory_lock=true
      - discovery.type=single-node
      - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms2g -Xmx2g"
      - ELASTIC_PASSWORD=$ELASTIC_PASSWORD
      - xpack.security.enabled=$ELASTIC_SECURITY
    ulimits:
      memlock:
        soft: -1
        hard: -1
    ports:
      - 9200:9200
    networks: ['stack']

  kibana:
    image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:$ELASTIC_VERSION
    environment:
      - ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME=elastic
      - ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD=$ELASTIC_PASSWORD
    ports: ['5601:5601']
    networks: ['stack']
    links: ['elasticsearch']
    depends_on: ['elasticsearch']

networks:
  stack: {}

```

`.env` file is:

```auto
ELASTIC_VERSION=7.5.1
ELASTIC_SECURITY=true
ELASTIC_PASSWORD=changeme

```

@dadoonet Is there any way to also set password for `Kibana` user in elasticsearch env variables?

if you define `ELASTIC_PASSWORD`, it is applied to all the users IIRC, `elastic` and probably the others.
