There are [several methods](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html#configuring-kibana-docker) for configuring the image.

Bind-mounted configuration is a very robust and versatile choice.

I am trying to deploy image in Kubernetes as I have to Kube scripts instead of docker compose.

Bind mounted configuration will not help me. Any other choices ?

A lot of people like to [use environment variables](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html#environment-variable-config), too.
