Hello ,
I want to get filebeat on docker, i followed the instructions here : [How to run Filebeat with Docker and use it with ELK stack](https://www.robertobandini.it/2021/02/07/how-to-run-filebeat-with-docker-and-use-it-with-elk-stack/)
But when i try to run the Filebeat container using this configuration :
`docker run -d --name=filebeat --user=root --network=` `"host"` `--volume=` `"$HOME/test-filebeat:/logs"` `--volume=` `"$HOME/filebeat.docker.yml:/usr/share/filebeat/filebeat.yml:ro"` `docker.elastic.co` `/beats/filebeat` `:7.10.2 filebeat -e --strict.perms=` `false`
I get this error:
docker: Error response from daemon: create $HOME/test-filebeat: "$HOME/test-filebeat" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9\_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.
See 'docker run --help'.
If you can help me i will be grateful.

did you try putting in the full path instead of `$HOME`
Also for reference here is the official documentation
Current

Please don't post pictures the can not always be viewed by everyone and can not be searched
That error means you have a syntax error in one of the yml files. You will need to share them to help.
Again I would suggest following our official docs instead of someone else's blog
