Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,
I am using Dockerfile for elasticsearch containerization where i am using elasticsearch.yml file to copy in /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/.

How can i set user and password for the user elastic?

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

---
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:

ELASTIC_VERSION=7.6.2
ELASTIC_SECURITY=true
ELASTIC_PASSWORD=changeme

Thanks @dadoonet . I am using Dockerfile instead of docker-compose.yml. One way I know is to pass through command while running the container.
docker run -e ELASTIC_PASSWORD=XXXXXX -p 9200:9200 es_image

Is there any other way to do this?

There are some other methods described in the documentation. See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html#docker-configuration-methods
