Here is my docker compose without security yup I use it for a lot of quick stuff...

I use the `${TAG}` syntax so I can chose a version without having to code in the docker compose file

then use like

`$ TAG=8.4.0 docker-compose up`

Note `'xpack.security.enabled=false', 'xpack.security.enrollment.enabled=false'`
