I'm trying to install via docker compose in 3 machines on AWS EC2. My compose file is

```
version: "3.8"
services:
  es01:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.12.1
    container_name: es01
    environment:
      - node.name=es01
      - cluster.name=es-cluster
      - discovery.seed_hosts=es02,es03
      - cluster.initial_master_nodes=es01,es02,es03
      - bootstrap.memory_lock=true
      - ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms${MEM} -Xmx${MEM}
      - network.publish_host=${ES01}
      - index.codec=best_compression
      - xpack.security.enabled=true
    ulimits:
      memlock:
        soft: -1
        hard: -1
    volumes:
      - data01:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
    extra_hosts:
      - es02:${ES02}
      - es03:${ES03}
    ports:
      - 9200:9200
      - 9300:9300
    networks:
      - elastic
  
volumes:
  data01:
    driver: local

networks:
  elastic:
    driver: bridge

```

It's work well but after stop es03 and es01, es02 still start.  
In empty volume the es03 can join cluster but if start es03 with exist volume that got errors.

```

es03 exited with code 78

```

How do I fix it.

I found it's work when disable security packs or enable it with ssl.
