Hello I run this

```
FROM python:3.6-alpine

COPY ./config /config

RUN pip install elasticsearch-curator==5.8.0 &&\
    pip install elasticsearch==7.0.4 &&\
     rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

CMD curator --config /config/config_file.yml /config/action_file.yml

```

And then I got this

```

```

Also if I install curator from yum repository. I got **taks\_id** missed error. Version curator 5.8.1 with elasticsearch-py 7.1.0 returns the same error. How can i solve this problem?

Hi. I have had the same problem. In my case the user / pwd value of the http\_aut parameter of the configuration file (config\_file.yml) was not being set correctly. The configuration I have set is http\_auth: $ {ELASTIC\_CREDENTIAL}, being ELASTIC\_CREDENTIAL an environment variable that was passed in the docker-compose.

I would test with the elastic user to see if the "Error:‘ tuple ’object is not callable" is due to it. If it works, I would look at the permissions configuration with certificate, which by the description of the error is what you use.

Greetings
