I'm setting up kibana with ECK, and I'd like to do an unattended setup with:

- data views
- index templates
- settings from advanced options (formats, language, default home)

I already tried kibana configuration as detailed here: [Advanced configuration | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes [2.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-kibana-advanced-configuration.html), but most settings I need cannot be set there.

I also tried calling the kibana api from a sidecar, but it returns 401 and I'm not sure how to authenticate automatically at this point.

What is the proper way to do an unattened setup and bring a new instance with these settings applied?
