I've been working with logstash for the past week and so far it's been great. Yesterday I decided to switch from using it in a vagrant box to docker, so I downloaded the official docker image from [docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:7.3.0](http://docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:7.3.0) and spun up a container. The issue I'm having is that it's only binding to IPv6. I had this issue while running on vagrant, but was able to fix it with adding '-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true' to the bottom of the jvm.options file. This does not work with the docker container. Any ideas on how to get logstash to bind to ipv4 within docker?
