Hi !

Please refrain from pinging specific people in the forums. Anyone can chime in and help out 🙂

1. Take a look at our docker documentation if you haven't done so already, this will be greatly helpful for you : [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-get-started/current/get-started-docker.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-get-started/current/get-started-docker.html)

2. Please spend the time to clearly state your problem, at minimum:
