To date we have been running logstash 7.16.2 as a non-root user in docker using a docker-compose configuration similar to below:

```auto
version: 3.3
services:
   logstash:
      image: logstash:7.16.2
      user: 10002:1001
      volumes:
           config
           data
           logs

```

This worked fine for the past year but in attempting to upgrade to 8.8.1 - we are getting an error

```auto
(LoadError) failure to load file: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/build.rb

```

Is there any documentation or sample docker-compose for running the elastic published docker images as non-root user outside of creating the image from scratch as it is enterprise requirement.
